Fungal Species:  Pleurotus djamor var. roseus

Morphology and Mycelial Growth Rate of Pleurotus spp. Strains from the Mexican Mixtec Region

This research studied two native mushroom strains from Mexico to improve commercial mushroom production. The scientists analyzed how different strains grow and developed new hybrid strains that could grow faster than the original ones. This work is important for developing better mushroom varieties for farming. Impacts on everyday life: – Could lead to more efficient and productive mushroom farming – May help make nutritious mushrooms more widely available and affordable – Demonstrates sustainable use of local biological resources – Supports development of regional food production – Could provide economic opportunities for local farmers
