The impact of continuous cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum on soil nutrients, enzyme activity, and fruiting body metabolites
mycolabadmin
This study examined how growing Ganoderma lucidum (a medicinal mushroom) on the same land for two consecutive years affects the soil and the mushroom’s beneficial compounds. Researchers found that continuous cultivation depleted soil nutrients and reduced enzyme activity, particularly in the top layer of soil. The mushrooms grown in the first year had more beneficial compounds than those grown in the second year, with differences linked to changes in soil quality and microbial activity.
