Custodio Bataan State College, the Philippines Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus spp.) are saprophytic as they obtain there nutrients by decomposing various agricultural by-products. This mushroom has been cultivated worldwide because of its taste and low maintenance technology. There are different substrates that have already been identified that can be utilized for the cultivation of oyster mushroom. The possible substrates include rice straw, coffee pulps, sawdust, and even paper. Most of these are types of low-value lignocellulosic wastes that are primarily derived from agricultural practices or the agro-industry. (J.A. Buswell et. al., 1996) The bioconversion of these wastes is one reason why the cultivation of edible mushrooms is an appropriate practice for a society that depends on its agriculture. In the early 1990s, ‘coco lumber’ was given a great attention in the province as a substitute for hardwood. Sawmills producing lumber from coconut trees bloomed in reaction to the increasing demand for this low cost constructional material. Though beginners in mushroom cultivation are usually persuaded not to use sawdust from softwoods, sawdust from coco lumber (Fig. 1) is another possible substrate for P. ostreatus and has shown great results. Growers living near a coco lumber sawmill can make use of this waste product in order to start their own cultivation of oyster mushroom species. Figure 1. Coco lumber sawdust Coco Lumber Sawdust as a Substrate of Oyster Mushroom Oyster mushroom is one example of edible mushrooms that can utilize lignocellulosic materials as a substrate.

Accepted 9 November, 2012 The mycelia polysaccharides from Morchella esculenta are active ingredients in a number of medicines that play important roles in immunity improvement and tumor growth inhibition. So far, the production of polysaccharides from M. esculenta mycelia has not been commercialized. The aims of this work were to screen and optimize the fermentation conditions to produce mycelia polysaccharides from using soybean residues as basic substrates in the composition of the medium, and to evaluate the antioxidant activities of mycelia polysaccharides from M. esculenta. Our results demonstrate that M. esculenta mycelia made good use of soybean residues. The optimal media contained the following components (g/l): soybean residue, 22.2; glucose, 20.1; KH2PO4 2.0 and MgSO4·7H2O 1.5. The optimum parameters of liquid culture were identified as the following: initial fermentation pH 7.0, inoculation volume 10%, temperature 28°C, and fermentation time 56 h. Under these optimized conditions, the values of dry cell weight (DCW) and the production rates of mycelia polysaccharides were 36.22 g/l and 68.23 mg/g, respectively.

    A Case of the Yellow Morel from Israel Segula Masaphy,* Limor Zabari, Doron Goldberg, and Gurinaz Jander-Shagug

    The Complexity of Morchella Systematics: A Case of the Yellow Morel from Israel Segula Masaphy,* Limor Zabari, Doron Goldberg, and Gurinaz Jander-Shagug A B C Abstract Individual morel mushrooms are highly polymorphic, resulting in confusion in their taxonomic distinction. In particu- lar, yellow morels from northern Israel, which are presumably Morchella esculenta, differ greatly in head color, head shape, ridge arrangement, and stalk-to-head ratio. Five morphologically distinct yellow morel fruiting bodies were genetically character- ized. Their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region within the nuclear ribosomal DNA and partial LSU (28S) gene were se- quenced and analyzed. All of the analyzed morphotypes showed identical genotypes in both sequences. A phylogenetic tree with retrieved NCBI GenBank sequences showed better fit of the ITS sequences to D E M. crassipes than M. esculenta but with less than 85% homology, while LSU sequences, Figure 1. Fruiting body morphotypes examined in this study. (A) MS1-32, (B) MS1-34, showed more then 98.8% homology with (C) MS1-52, (D) MS1-106, (E) MS1-113.
