Oyster Mushroom Pleurotus Ostreatus ILLINOIS RANGE oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus Kingdom: Fungi FEATURES Phylum: Basidiomycota The body of a fungus (mycelium) is made up of Class: Agaricomycetes strands called mycelia. The mycelium grows within Order: Agaricales the soil, a dead tree or other object and is rarely seen. The fruiting body that produces spores is Family: Pleurotaceae generally present for only a short period of time but ILLINOIS STATUS is the most familiar part of the fungus to most people. The oyster mushroom has a white, gray or common, native gray-yellow cap which may be about 10 inches wide. This cap is fan-shaped or funnel-shaped. The cap may or may not have a stalk. If the stalk is present, it is very short, no more than about one-half inch in length. The stalk is either attached to one side of the cap or off-center and is usually curved. BEHAVIORS The oyster mushroom may be found statewide in Illinois. It grows in stumps, logs and rotten wood. It may appear singly or in clusters. Unlike plants, fungi do not have roots, stems, leaves, flowers or seeds. The oyster mushroom must absorb nutrients and water from the objects it grows in. Spores are produced in spring and late fall. The spores provide a means of reproduction, dispersal and survival in poor conditions. Spore production occurs when conditions are favorable, generally with warm ILLINOIS RANGE temperatures and ample moisture. © Illinois Department of Natural Resources. 2020. Biodiversity of Illinois.

  • Optimization of Agro-Residues As Substrates for Pleurotus
    Wu et al. AMB Expr (2019) 9:184 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13568-019-0907-1 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Optimization of agro-residues as substrates for Pleurotus pulmonarius production Nan Wu1†, Fenghua Tian1†, Odeshnee Moodley1, Bing Song1, Chuanwen Jia1, Jianqiang Ye2, Ruina Lv1, Zhi Qin3 and Changtian Li1* Abstract The “replacing wood by grass” project can partially resolve the confict between mushroom production and balancing the ecosystem, while promoting agricultural economic sustainability. Pleurotus pulmonarius is an economically impor- tant edible and medicinal mushroom, which is traditionally produced using a substrate consisting of sawdust and cottonseed hulls, supplemented with wheat bran. A simplex lattice design was applied to systemically optimize the cultivation of P. pulmonarius using agro-residues as the main substrate to replace sawdust and cottonseed hulls. The efects of difering amounts of wheat straw, corn straw, and soybean straw on the variables of yield, mycelial growth rate, stipe length, pileus length, pileus width, and time to harvest were demonstrated. Results indicated that a mix of wheat straw, corn straw, and soybean straw may have signifcantly positive efects on each of these variables. The high yield comprehensive formula was then optimized to include 40.4% wheat straw, 20.3% corn straw, 18.3% soybean straw, combined with 20.0% wheat bran, and 1.0% light CaCO3 (C/N 42.50). The biological efciency was 15.2% greater than that of the control. Most encouraging was the indication= that the high yield comprehensive formula may shorten the time to reach the reproductive stage by 6 days, compared with the control.

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).

    On stimulating fungi Pleurotus ostreatus with Cortisol Mohammad Mahdi Dehshibia,b, Alessandro Chiolerioa,c, Anna Nikolaidoua,d, Richard Maynea, Antoni Gandiae,f, Mona Ashtarib, Andrew Adamatzkya aUnconventional Computing Laboratory, UWE, Bristol, UK bDepartment of Computer Science, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain cCenter for Sustainable Future Technologies, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Torino, Italy dDepartment of Architecture, UWE, Bristol, UK eInstitute for Plant Molecular and Cell Biology, CSIC-UPV, Valencia, Spain fMogu S.r.l., Inarzo, Italy Abstract Fungi cells are capable of sensing extracellular cues through reception, transduction and response systems which allow them to communicate with their host and adapt to their environment. They display effective regulatory protein expressions which enhance and regulate their response and adaptation to a variety of triggers such as stress, hormones, light, chemicals and host factors. In our recent studies, we have shown that Pleurotus oyster fungi generate electrical potential impulses in the form of spike events as a result of their exposure to environmental, mechanical and chemical triggers, demonstrating that it is possible to discern the nature of stimuli from the fungi electrical responses. Harnessing the power of fungi sensing and intelligent capabilities, we explored the communication protocols of fungi as reporters of human chemical secretions such as hormones, addressing the question if fungi can sense human signals. We exposed Pleurotus oyster fungi to cortisol, directly applied to a surface of a hemp shavings substrate colonised by fungi, and recorded the electrical activity of fungi. The response of fungi to cortisol was also supplementary studied through the application of X-ray to identify changes in the fungi tissue, where receiving cortisol by the substrate can inhibit the flow of calcium and, in turn, reduce its physiological changes.

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.
