This research optimized how to grow oyster mushroom mycelium in laboratory conditions to produce high-protein food ingredients. The scientists tested different nutrient sources, sugar types, and pH levels to find the best growing conditions. They discovered that adding urea and using amaranth flour as a base nearly doubled the protein content, making oyster mushroom mycelium a promising sustainable alternative to animal proteins.

Toxicity Assay and Pathogenic Process Analysis of Clonostachys rogersoniana Infecting Cephalcia chuxiongica

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered a fungus called Clonostachys rogersoniana that can kill a major pine forest pest. The fungus enters the pest through small breathing holes called spiracles, which is unusual compared to most fungal infections. Testing showed the fungus kills half the pest population in about 24 hours at relatively low concentrations. This discovery could help protect Chinese pine forests without using harmful chemical pesticides.
