Fungal Species:  Agrocybe cylindracea

Centesimal Composition, Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidant and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activities of Commercial Edible Oyster Mushrooms at Different Maturity Stages in Northern Thailand

mycolabadmin

This research studied five types of oyster mushrooms grown in Thailand at different stages of maturity. Researchers found that the nutritional content and beneficial compounds in mushrooms change as they grow. Young and middle-stage mushrooms had the highest levels of compounds that fight disease and help manage blood sugar, while fully mature mushrooms had more total nutrients. This information helps farmers decide when to harvest mushrooms based on whether customers want maximum nutrition or maximum health-promoting properties.

Composted Versus Raw Olive Mill Waste as Substrates for the Production of Medicinal Mushrooms: An Assessment of Selected Cultivation and Quality Parameters

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates how harmful olive oil production waste can be transformed into a valuable resource for growing edible mushrooms. The study found that mixing composted olive mill waste with traditional mushroom growing materials produced excellent yields of various gourmet mushroom species. This process offers both environmental and economic benefits. Impacts on everyday life: • Provides a solution for managing environmentally problematic olive oil industry waste • Creates new opportunities for sustainable mushroom farming • Offers potential economic benefits for both olive oil producers and mushroom growers • Increases the availability of nutritious, gourmet mushrooms for consumers • Demonstrates practical applications of circular economy principles in agriculture

Distribution and Origin of Major, Trace and Rare Earth Elements in Wild Edible Mushrooms: Urban vs. Forest Areas

mycolabadmin

This research examined how wild edible mushrooms accumulate different chemical elements when growing in city versus forest environments. The study analyzed 46 different elements in various mushroom species to understand if urban pollution affects their safety for consumption. The findings have several important implications for everyday life: • While mushrooms from both urban and forest areas were generally safe in terms of toxic metal content, excessive consumption could pose health risks • Location (city vs forest) was less important for mushroom safety than previously thought • Different mushroom species accumulate elements differently, regardless of where they grow • People should be cautious about consuming large amounts of wild mushrooms, even from seemingly pristine forest areas • Regular monitoring of wild mushroom chemical composition is important for food safety
