Dynamics of the Chemical Composition and Productivity of Composts for the Cultivation of Agaricus Bisporus Strains

This research investigated how different types of agricultural compost and mushroom strains affect the production of button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus). The study found that using oat straw-based compost with a specific mushroom strain (ABI-07/06) produced the best results. This has practical implications for mushroom farmers and the agricultural industry. Impacts on everyday life: • More efficient mushroom production could lead to lower consumer prices • Better understanding of composting techniques benefits sustainable agriculture • Improved use of agricultural waste products through composting • Enhanced food security through optimized mushroom cultivation • Economic benefits for mushroom farmers through increased yields

Increasing Antioxidant Activity and Protein Digestibility in Phaseolus vulgaris and Avena sativa by Fermentation with the Pleurotus ostreatus Fungus

This research shows how fermenting common beans and oats with an edible mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) can make these foods more nutritious and easier to digest. The fermentation process increases beneficial compounds like antioxidants while reducing unwanted compounds that can interfere with nutrient absorption. This has important implications for improving the nutritional value of common foods. Impacts on everyday life: – Provides a natural way to make beans and oats more nutritious and digestible – Could help reduce digestive issues associated with eating beans – Offers potential for developing new nutritionally-enhanced food products – May help improve the nutritional value of plant-based diets – Could benefit populations relying heavily on legumes and cereals for protein
