Corn is widely planted in China, but corn stalks have not been adequately utilized for a long time. Here, the potential of corn stalks to serve as an ingredient in the composition of substrates to cultivate king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) was studied. Corn stalks were added to the matrix...

Edible fungi are often used as an important selenium (Se) source to improve human daily Se intakes as food or Se supplements because of their strong ability to accumulate Se, in which Ganoderma lucidum was widely accepted in China. However, the existing Se speciation analysis methods such as...

Agricultural fertilization with organic amendments of animal origin often leads to antibiotic resistance dissemination. In this study, we evaluated the effect of different treatments (anaerobic digestion, biochar application, ozonation, zerovalent iron nanoparticle application, and spent mushroom...

Edible mushrooms are consumed worldwide. The overall amount of lipids in mushrooms is small and consists of complex lipids, such as triacylglycerols, phospholipids, and sterols. Nutritional studies have outlined the lipid compositions of mushrooms but have not analyzed their fatty acid esters of...

Mineral composition among mushroom species may be similar or significantly different. It is accepted that mushroom species are one of the main determinants of their varying efficiency of accumulating mineral elements. The aim of this study was to establish whether this statement is accurate and...

Phragmites australis (common reed) distributed in brackish or saline wetlands, with significant ecological and economic values. Cultivating edible fungi is an exciting and developing field in reed utilization, and proven to be a viable technology. However, it remains unclear how nutrient...

The use of waste apple-wood as a source of sawdust to cultivate the mushrooms Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinula edodes is a common practice, but it is imperative to ensure that the wood does not contain unsafe amounts of heavy-metals or pesticide residues. In this study, we sampled and investigated ...

Mushrooms are natural materials with nutritious, poisonous, hallucinogenic and medicinal properties. Wild mushrooms are known to have many medicinal properties. In this study, antioxidant, oxidant and antimicrobial potentials, phenolic and element contents of wild mushrooms Rhizopogon roseolus...

Lactarius semisanguifluus R. Heim & Leclair (L. semisanguifluus) is one of the wild-grown edible mushroom types. Wild-grown edible mushrooms are widely consumed or sold by people in fresh form. However, due to the high respiration ratio and moisture content, the mushrooms lose their quality...

One of the most important priorities in the medicinal mushrooms cultivation is the selection and preparation of the substrate, which depends on factors such as price and easy access to different lignocellulosic compounds. In order to investigate the effect of mixed and non-mixed agro-waste...
