Application of Fungus Enzymes in Spent Mushroom Composts from Edible Mushroom Cultivation for Phthalate Removal

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates an innovative way to turn mushroom farming waste into a useful tool for cleaning up water pollution. The study found that spent mushroom compost (SMC) – the leftover growing material from mushroom farms – can effectively remove harmful plastic-related chemicals called phthalates from water. This creates a win-win solution by dealing with two environmental problems at once: managing agricultural waste and treating contaminated water. Impacts on everyday life: • Provides a sustainable way to recycle mushroom farming waste • Offers a green method for cleaning up water pollution • Could help reduce exposure to harmful phthalate chemicals in water • Demonstrates how agricultural waste can be transformed into valuable resources • Could lead to more cost-effective water treatment solutions

Comparison of Chemical Property and In Vitro Digestion Behavior of Polysaccharides from Auricularia polytricha Mycelium and Fruit Body

mycolabadmin

This research compared polysaccharides extracted from mushroom mycelium versus traditional mushroom fruit bodies, showing that lab-grown mycelium could provide similar beneficial compounds. This has important implications for sustainable production of medicinal mushroom compounds. Impacts on everyday life: • More sustainable and cost-effective production of beneficial mushroom compounds • Potential for new nutritional supplements derived from mushroom mycelium • Reduced environmental impact compared to traditional mushroom cultivation • Improved understanding of how mushroom compounds are digested • Validation of mycelium as an alternative source of antioxidants
