Biobritte Agro Solutions (India) Private Limited Biobritte Agro Solutions (India) Private Limited Mushroom Growing Products PARIMAL UDGAVE Biobritte Agro Solutions Private Limited India About us Biobritte Agro Solutions Private Limited is registered in June 2018 however, was founded in 2017 (Formerly Known as Kolhapur Mushrooms) as small business by Mr. Parimal Ramesh Udgave. In first stage, we opened small spawn lab and cultivation training center which acted as support center for local mushroom growers and entrepreneurs. In 2018, we extended our mushroom spawn lab to big level. Our current mushroom spawn or seed manufacturing capacity is approx. 25-30 tons/month. We send our spawn all over India. Besides that, we supply spawn to various countries in South East Asia, Middle East, Europe, Africa and American countries. Our Main Business is Mushroom spawn selling (Master spawn, Commercial spawn and pure cultures), Ready to fruit Blocks Selling, Dry Mushroom Selling (Whole, Powder), Mushroom Food Products (Processed). We have large collection of mushroom strains. You can choose our strain using following list. 1 SPAWN Mushroom spawn is simply any substance that has been inoculated with mycelium, the vegetative growth of a fungus. Mycelium, a thread-like collection of cells, is to a mushroom like an apple tree is to an apple. You need to have one as the base for producing the other. The spawn is used to transfer mycelium onto any material from which mushrooms will grow, called a substrate. There are many different kinds of substrates, with straw, cardboard, logs, and wood chips just being a few examples. Types of Mushroom Spawn: 1. Grain Spawn Grain spawn is sterilized grain that has been inoculated with spores or a sterile culture of mycelium. Many types of grain can be used with rye and millet being some of the most common. Other choices are corn, wheat, and different cereal grains. I've even had good luck with popcorn! 2 Grain spawn can be used to create sawdust spawn, more grain spawn, or inoculate all sorts of pasteurized substrates such as straw. A big advantage of using grain is that it's much more nutritious than sawdust, making it ideal to create more spawn or to inoculate indoor substrates. 3 A disadvantage is that it's not as good a choice for inoculating outdoor beds. The yummy grains are a big target for birds and rodents. 2. Sawdust Spawn Sawdust Spawn is sterilized sawdust that has been inoculated with mycelium, often by grain spawn. The sawdust is usually made out of some type of hardwood with pieces neither too large nor too fine (a few mm in diameter). Sawdust spawn can be used to inoculate logs, outdoor mushroom beds, pasteurized straw, cardboard, and a variety of other substrates. It's also used to inoculate wooden dowels to create plug spawn. One of the main advantages of mushroom spawn in the form of sawdust is the size of the particles. Because they are so small and numerous, there are many more inoculation points for the mycelium to grow into the substrate. This results in faster mycelium colonization with less time for contaminants to take hold. A disadvantage of sawdust spawn is that, on its own, its not as nutritious for mushroom growing as one would like. Thus you may be disappointed with your yield if you try to grow mushrooms from straight sawdust. Mushroom growing kits made from sawdust are usually enriched with bran or some other source of nitrogen to increase yields. 4 3. Wood Plug/Dowel Spawn Plug spawn is a collection of small wooden dowels that have been inoculated with mycelium. This can be done with sawdust spawn, or even with stems of live mushrooms. An advantage of plug spawn is that it's very effective for inoculating substrates made from wood or fibers. It easily colonizes cardboard, wood chips, paper, stumps, and logs. A disadvantage is it's not always the best choice for straw or grain based substrates. 4. Liquid Spawn Liquid spawn - Water enriched with mushroom spores/mycelia slurry. Simply Mushroom spawn is very easy to inoculate with grain and sawdust growing substrate. However, the risk of contamination is slightly higher as handling error can promote contaminations. It can be sold in jars or in sterilized syringes with cap. 5 6 Common definitions Master Spawn Commercial/Planting spawn It can be used to prepare further It can be only used for growing bags commercial or planting spawn or purpose. seeds.

A. Adebayo1,2* and D. Martínez-Carrera2 1Department of Pure and Applied Biology, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, P.M.B. 4000, Ogbomoso, Nigeria. 2Biotechnology of Edible, Functional and Medicinal Mushrooms, Colegio de Postgraduados, Apartado Postal 129, Puela 72001, Puebla, Mexico. Received 16 October, 2014; Accepted 12 December, 2014 This review shows the biotechnological potential of oyster mushrooms with lignocellulosic biomass. The bioprocessing of plant byproducts using Pleurotus species provides numerous value-added products, such as basidiocarps, animal feed, enzymes, and other useful materials. The biodegradation and bioconversion of agro wastes (lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose) could have vital implication in cleaning our environment. The bioprocessing of lignin depends on the potent lignocellulolytic enzymes such as phenol oxidases (laccase) or heme peroxidases (lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese peroxidase (MnP) and versatile peroxidase) produced by the organism. The cellulose-hydrolysing enzymes (that is, cellulases) basically divided into endo-β-1,4-glucanase , exo-β-1,4-glucanase I and II, and β-glucosidase, they attack cellulose to release glucose, a monomers units from the cellobiose, while several enzymes acted on hemicellulose to give D-xylose from xylobiose. These enzymes have been produced by species of Pleurotus from lignocellulose and can also be used in several biotechnological applications, including detoxification, bioconversion, and bioremediation of resistant pollutants.

The main aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the antioxidant activities of methanolic extracts of mushroom mycelium of ten Pleurotus species by three different methods. The DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, chelating effect on ferrous ion and phenolic content of mycelial extract of ten edible mushrooms were analyzed. P. sajor-caju showed highest free radical scavenging activity (92.05 %) and reducing power (1.082 %) at 8 mg/ml concentration. P. citrinopileatus showed highest percentage of chelating effect on ferrous ion (90.66 %). The lowest EC50 value of free radical scavenging activity was found in P. sapidus which indicated strongest ability of the mycelial extract to act as DPPH radical scavenger. The lowest chelating effect on ferrous ion was noticed in P. sajor-caju but EC50 of reducing power was much lower than the synthetic antioxidant (BHT).

Bernardo; A. Pérez Cabo; C. García Mendoza Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas, CSIC, Ramiro de Maeztu 9, 28040 Madrid (Spain) The Verticillium fungicola mycoparasitism on Agaricus bisporus fruit bodies appears to be a complex process made up of successive steps in which the recognition and binding between complementary molecules, the A. bisporus fruit body lectin and the V. fungicola cell wall glucogalactomannan, have re- cently been demonstrated. P. ostreatus fruit bodies have been described as containing a lectin and also presenting the “dry bubble” or the Verticillium disease. The aim of the present work is to purify and characterize the P. ostreatus lectin and compare the properties of both lectins in an attempt to confirm if the specific glucogalactomannan-lectin recognition and binding is the necessary step for the V. fungicola mycoparasitism process in P. ostreatus. The characteristics and properties of the purified P. o s t r e a t u s lectin together with those also previously described by us on A. bisporus lectin show that, although both lectins present different chemical struc- tures, they behave very similarly in relation to their glucogalactomannan-binding, thus confirming the existence of the specific recognition and binding step in the Verticillium disease on P. ostreatus fruit bodies. 1. Introduction “Dry bubble” or Verticillium disease, the most serious fungal disease of the commercially grown strains of the white mushroom Agaricus bisporus, is Genetics and Cellular Biology of Basidiomycetes-VI.

Ex Fr) Kummer) is still much contamination baglog inhibit growth and cause failure of oyster mushroom production. For that study was conducted to determine fungal contaminants in the baglog media and inhibiting ability against oyster mushrooms in vitro. Research carried out by the observation methods, sampling randomly contaminated baglog 10-20% of the amount of contaminated baglog, repeated 3 times. Study to be implemented in venture oyster mushroom address: Jl. Siulan gang Zella no. 7 Denpasar, from April to August 2014. The results showed that air-borne fungus could potentially cause failure of oyster mushroom cultivation. The highest prevalence was found in Fusarium spp. (25.6%), while the highest inhibition was found in Mucor spp.(94.7±8.5). Fungal contaminants originating from baglog, the most dominant with the highest prevalence was Trichoderma spp (35.71%). This fungus was very dangerous for the survival of oyster mushroom cultivation. Keywords: Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr) Kummer), inhibiting ability, and the prevalence of fungal contaminants. INTRODUCTION Development of oyster mushroom cultivation particularly in Bali received threats by a number of fungal contaminants. Fungal contaminants can originate from the air and sawdust media. Green mold caused by Trichoderma spp. is a major disease that is found in oyster mushroom (Kredic et al., 2010).

  • Molecular Identification of Some Wild Nigerian Mushrooms Using Internal
    Adeniyi et al. AMB Expr (2018) 8:148 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13568-018-0661-9 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Molecular identifcation of some wild Nigerian mushrooms using internal transcribed spacer: polymerase chain reaction Mobolaji Adeniyi1,2, Yinka Titilawo3,4,5*, Anthonia Oluduro1, Olu Odeyemi1, Motebang Nakin4 and Anthony Ifeanyi Okoh5 Abstract Identifcation of fungal species based on morphological characteristics is tedious, complex, prone to errors, and thus cannot be completely relied upon. In this study, internal transcribed spacers (ITS 1 and 4)—polymerase chain reaction was employed to amplify DNA of 19 mushroom isolates collected at Environmental Pollution Science and Technology farm, Ilesa, Southwest Nigeria. The PCR amplifcation of ITS1 and 4 of the mushrooms isolates yielded approximately 850 bp. Amplicons obtained were sequenced and identifed using BLASTn in the NCBI. The BLASTn results revealed that Termitomyces aurantiacus (3), Tricholoma matsutake (8), Tricholoma robustum (2), P. ostreatus (4), Schizophyllum commune (1) and Pleurotus pulmonarius (1) were fully represented. Only Tricholoma matsutake (KT273371), Pleurotus pulmonarius (KY962469) and Tricholoma matsutake (AF438605) had 100% similarity with reference strain. However, the phylogenetic analysis of the isolates showed low genetic relatedness with reference strains. This study revealed the novelty of the mushroom strains and thus advocating the need for strict conservation measures and further investiga- tions on their potential benefts to mankind.

Abstract: Mycoparasites cause heavy losses in commercial mushroom farms worldwide. The negative impact of fungal diseases such as dry bubble (Lecanicillium fungicola), cobweb (Cladobotryum spp.), wet bubble (Mycogone perniciosa), and green mold (Trichoderma spp.) constrains yield and harvest quality while reducing the cropping surface or damaging basidiomes. Currently, in order to fight fungal diseases, preventive measurements consist of applying intensive cleaning during cropping and by the end of the crop cycle, together with the application of selective active substances with proved fungicidal action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the redundant application of the same fungicides has been conducted to the occurrence of resistant strains, hence, reviewing reported evidence of resistance occurrence and introducing unconventional treatments is worthy to pave the way towards Citation: Gea, F.J.; Navarro, M.J.; Santos, M.; Diánez, F.; Carrasco, J.

  • Pleurotus Ostreatus
    Pleurotus Ostreatus Oyster Mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, the oyster mushroom or oyster fungus, is a common edible mushroom. It was first cultivated in Germany as a subsistence measure during World War I and is now grown commercially around the world for food. It is related to the similarly cultivated king oyster mushroom. Oyster mushrooms can SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATION also be used industrially Kingdom : Fungi for mycoremediation purposes. Division : Basidiomycota Class : Agaricomycetes The oyster mushroom is one of the Order : Agaricales more commonly sought wild Family : Pleurotaceae mushrooms, though it can also be Genus : Pleurotus cultivated on straw and other media. It Species : P. ostreatus has the bittersweet aroma of benzaldehyde (which is also characteristic of bitter almonds). Binomial Name Pleurotus ostreatus Name Both the Latin and common names refer to the shape of the fruiting body. The Latin pleurotus (sideways) refers to the sideways growth of the stem with respect to the cap, while the Latin ostreatus (and the English common name, oyster) refers to the shape of the cap which resembles the bivalve of the same name. Many also believe that the name is fitting due to a flavor resemblance to oysters. The name oyster mushroom is also applied to other Pleurotus species. Or the grey oyster mushroom to differentiate it from other species in the genus. Description The mushroom has a broad, fan or oyster-shaped cap spanning 2– 3 3 30 cm ( ⁄4–11 ⁄4 in); natural specimens range from white to gray or tan to dark-brown; the margin is inrolled when young, and is smooth and often somewhat lobed or wavy.
