Raw mushroom waste has been an enormous solid waste, not only causing a huge cut on profit margin of industries but also leading to environmental pollution. Unfortunately, the current utilization methods, such as pharmaceutical extractions, are unable keep up with generation rate due large-scale production. Yet, raw produce biomass pellets for energetic purposes and role electric composter shor...

The commercial growing of white mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) is a frequent activity in certain Spain regions as La Rioja. We report two cases of white mushroom workers suffering from asthma caused by hypersensitivity to basidiocarp and spores of white mushroom.

Supplementation of mushroom compost at spawning and at casing with various refined and crude seed oils resulted in 1 to 1.5 lb/ft increases in mushroom yield. Supplementation at casing with ground seeds or protein-oil combinations caused 2 to 2.5 lb/ft increases in mushroom yield. Further evidence is presented for a relationship between lipid metabolism and the initiation of fruiting in the cul...

This research focused on the utilization of waste mushroom beds (WMB) after harvesting oyster (WMB-O) and lingzhi mushrooms (WMB-L) for preparation eco-friendly materials, fiber sheets. The WMB were sterilized determined their chemical compositions. dry pretreated by a steam explosion, comparing with alkaline pretreatment before sheet forming process. results showed that f-cellulose contents in...

The Drosophila mushroom bodies are critical association areas whose role in olfactory associative learning has been well characterized. Recent behavioral studies using a taste association paradigm revealed that gustatory conditioning also requires the mushroom bodies (Masek and Scott, 2010; Keene and Masek, 2012). Here, we examine the representations of tastes and the neural sites for taste ass...
