Fungal Species: Lyophyllum decastes

Exploring the Mechanisms of Amino Acid and Bioactive Constituent Formation During Fruiting Body Development in Lyophyllum decastes by Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analyses

This research study examined how Lyophyllum decastes mushrooms develop and accumulate their valuable nutrients and flavor compounds. Scientists found that amino acids and polysaccharides reach their highest levels when the mushroom is mature, ready for harvesting. By analyzing the genes and chemical changes during mushroom growth, researchers identified the specific pathways responsible for producing these beneficial compounds. This knowledge helps improve mushroom cultivation and confirms its value as a healthy functional food.

Sustainable Recycling of Mushroom Residue as an Effective Substitute for Cotton Hull Waste in Volvariella volvacea Cultivation: Evidence from Physicochemical and Microbiome Analyses

This research shows that mushroom waste left over from growing one type of mushroom can be recycled to grow another type of mushroom, called straw mushroom. The recycled mushroom waste works just as well as the traditional cotton hull material currently used, but costs much less money. By analyzing the bacteria and chemical changes during the composting process, scientists found that beneficial bacteria break down the organic matter effectively, making this recycling method both environmentally friendly and economically practical.

Sustainable Recycling of Mushroom Residue as an Effective Substitute for Cotton Hull Waste in Volvariella volvacea Cultivation: Evidence from Physicochemical and Microbiome Analyses

This research shows that mushroom waste left over from growing mushrooms can be successfully recycled as a growing medium for straw mushrooms, similar to the traditional cotton hull waste currently used. The recycled mushroom residue produces mushrooms of equivalent quality and quantity but costs much less to purchase. By analyzing the microscopic bacterial communities in the compost, scientists found that different bacteria help break down the organic matter in both types of substrates, supporting efficient mushroom growth.

Utilization of Corn Steep Liquor for the Production of Fairy Chemicals by Lepista sordida Mycelia

Researchers found that corn steep liquor, a waste product from corn processing, can be used as an inexpensive ingredient to help grow mushroom mycelia that produce fairy chemicals. Fairy chemicals are special compounds with potential uses in agriculture and cosmetics, but they are very expensive to produce. By using different concentrations of corn steep liquor in growth media, scientists determined optimal conditions for either growing more mycelia or producing more of the beneficial chemicals, making these compounds more affordable for practical use.

Exploring the Mechanisms of Amino Acid and Bioactive Constituent Formation During Fruiting Body Development in Lyophyllum decastes by Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analyses

This study examined how Lyophyllum decastes mushrooms develop and build up their nutritious compounds. Researchers tracked amino acids and polysaccharides across four growth stages and identified which genes control their production. The mature mushrooms contained the highest levels of beneficial compounds, with amino acids reaching 45,107.39 μg/g and polysaccharides at 13.66 mg/g. These findings help explain why these mushrooms are nutritious and suggest ways to grow them better for maximum health benefits.
