mycolabadmin
Researchers successfully grew Auricularia polytricha mushrooms using agricultural waste like cotton, coix seed, and wheat straw instead of expensive wood chips. The mushrooms grown this way not only matured 16 days faster but also contained significantly more nutrients including proteins, minerals, and beneficial compounds with antioxidant properties. This approach provides an affordable, environmentally friendly solution while producing healthier mushrooms.
