abstract edible white button mushroom is a secondary decomposer and the activity of other micro-organisms is necessary to decompose the raw compounds for its growth. actinomycetes bacteria due to their ability to decompose the compound molecules such as cellulose, lingo-cellulose and lignin, play an important role in the composting process for the mushroom. bacterial biomass of actinomycetes co...

agaricus bisporus is the most important industrially cultivated edible mushroom. using organic wastes as substrate for cultivation of edible mushroom can provide a perfect solution for disposal of these waste materials and is part of the world's food requirements .in this study to investigate the usability of various organic wastes as growing bed for button mushroom, four types of substrat...

P eople have harvested mushrooms from the wild for thousands of years for food and medicines. Of the estimated 1.5 million species of fungi, about 10,000 produce the fruiting bodies we call mushrooms. While commercial harvesting of wild mushrooms continues today, most of the world’s supply comes from commercial mushroom growers. The Chinese first cultivated shiitake (Lentinula edodes) mushrooms...

Besides their traditional food usage, mushrooms can be used as a source of many pharmacologically active compounds, especially polysaccharides. Wastes left over in the edible mushroom farms such as Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) can also become free and alternative source of chitin-chitosan materials, beside the traditional industrial source shellfish waste materials. Chitosan, a nat...

In this study, bioaccumulation of lead in wildly growing edible mushroom and its underlying soil near the industrial drainage and heavy traffic area was investigated during monsoon. These accumulations were compared with the cultivated and remote residential area. Commercial samples were also collected during monsoon. Four different varieties of mushroom Button mushroom (Agaricusbisporus), Oyst...

Background: White button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) is one of the most sensitive agricultural crops after harvesting and its antioxidant properties tend to decrease during post-harvest storage with the passage of time. OBJECTIVES: The possible role of exogenous application of malic acid as dipping treatment on bioactive components and antioxidant properties of sliced white button mushroom dur...

A compressive description of tropical milky white mushroom (Calocybe indica P&C var. APK2) is provided in this review. This mushroom variety was first identified in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal and can be cultivated on a wide variety of substrates, at a high temperature range (30~38℃). However, no commercial cultivation was made until 1998. Krishnamoorthy 1997 rediscovered the fungus...

abstract as hybrid spawn is propagated asexually in edible mushrooms, producers may propagate it without the permission of the owner. for the protection of the owner right, there is a great need for a molecular certificate for each commercial line. the high-resolution genotyping method of amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) analysis was used to prepare molecular certifications and fin...
