Valorization of various lignocellulosic wastes to Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst (Reishi Mushroom) cultivation and their FT-IR assessments

This research demonstrates how agricultural and forestry waste materials can be effectively converted into nutritious Reishi mushrooms through sustainable cultivation practices. Oak wood substrates produced the highest mushroom yields, while various agricultural wastes showed promising results for producing medicinal mushrooms. Using specialized spectroscopy techniques, scientists confirmed that the Reishi mushroom effectively breaks down and utilizes the complex plant materials in these waste substrates. This approach offers an environmentally friendly solution to waste management while producing valuable medicinal mushrooms.

Transcriptome and Metabolome Integration Reveals the Impact of Fungal Elicitors on Triterpene Accumulation in Sanghuangporus sanghuang

Scientists studied how a special fungal treatment can boost the production of beneficial compounds in sanghuang mushrooms. Using advanced molecular analysis techniques, they found that the fungal elicitor significantly increased levels of healing compounds called triterpenes. The treated mushrooms produced 114 times more of one specific compound compared to untreated mushrooms. This research shows how we can grow medicinal mushrooms with higher levels of beneficial substances, which could help develop better treatments for various diseases.
