The greatest and medicinal species which is used for recycling agro- developments in mushroom cultivation came from France wastes including wheat straw, reed plant wastes, waste when Agaricus bisporus was cultivated for the first time in paper, oat straw, waste tea leaves, some water plants and 1600 A.C. on agricultural media specially prepared for the others. A. bisporus has many usages in human dietary and purpose (Chang and Miles 2004). Commercial mushroom pharmaceutical fields due to its composition of essential production was first achieved by a Frenchman in 1780, amino acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, low calories, who cultivated A. bisporus underground in quarries near crude fibers, trace elements and vitamins. Recently Paris (Beyer 2003).

Generally, the percentage of proteins varies from which is important in polyphenol oxidation (Hou et al. 34% to 44% of the total dried matter of fruiting bodies 2004). Recent work showed this enzyme was secreted by of A. bisporus (Grube et al. 2001). Total free amino acids partnering A. bisporus and Trichoderma sp. to increase are 77.92 g/kg; the content of monosodium glutamate- the production of this enzyme in agricultural composts like components 22.67 g/kg (Tseng and Mau 1999).

Combined use of nutrient concentration and scores were used to compare the level of the contents in the mushroom species. Significant differences (p < 0.05) in nutrient values were demonstrated between and among the mushroom species obtained from the two agro-ecological zones. On dry weight basis, all proximate compositions were high in mushroom species obtained from the humid zone with exception of the total carbohydrates and energy values. Irrespective of the source of the mushrooms, signifi- cant amounts were demonstrated in protein, dry matter, ash and total carbohydrates ranging between 11.56–27.42%, 82.34–99.76%, 10.79–16.87%, and 37.12–61.05%, respectively.

Agaricus subrufescens (almond mushroom) is known to produce bioactive compounds with medicinal properties, such as anti-cancer and anti-tumor activity and fruiting bodies are also edible and nutritious. Agaricus subrufescens is presently cultivated in Brazil, China, Japan, Taiwan and some European countries for use as foods and nutraceuticals. Agaricus flocculosipes is a newly described species currently known only from Thailand, Mayotte Island and China. Species of Agaricus have high potential for cultivation as many species are edible and have medicinal properties. Herein we report the first cultivation of A. flocculosipes and a Thai strain of A.

  • Small Scale Mushroom Production Agaricus Bisporus
    Small Scale Mushroom Production Agaricus bisporus VEGETABLE CROPS PRODUCTION GUIDE FOR THE ATLANTIC PROVINCES Prepared by the ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON VEGETABLE CROPS Published by authority of the ATLANTIC PROVINCES AGRICULTURE SERVICES CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE Introduction Successful mushroom growing involves overcoming difficulties such as temperature and humidity control, pest control and compost preparation. The amateur mushroom grower should recognize that most basements do not provide ideal conditions for good growth. Mushroom production is a difficult task at the best of times. This publication is intended to provide useful tips in order to increase the rate of success of growing mushrooms. Location For the amateur, mushrooms are usually planted in the fall and the best location is the cellar, basement or a barn or any tight, light-proof, well ventilated and insulated building. The following conditions should be met: 1.Air temperatures controlled between 13/C and 21/C. 2.Relative humidities between 80-95 %. A corner of the basement can be partitioned off by the use of a polyethylene divider. This will help to maintain proper humidity levels. A plastic hood placed over the growing bed is a second alternative. Do not place beds where direct sunlight will fall on them. Ventilation is useful to remove offensive odors. Where temperatures cannot be maintained, supplementary heat is necessary. Mushroom beds are usually 120-150 cm wide, 15-20 cm deep and as long as you wish. Boards that form the bottom should not be over 15-20 cm wide, leaving 2 cm to 4 cm cracks between them for ventilation. Several tiers can be made approximately 60 cm apart.

In recent years the consumption of fruiting bodies of this species has been increasing in Po- land. The article characterises the chemical composition and health-promoting properties of white button mushrooms. The latest scientific research confirms that the fruiting bodies of white button mushroom have high nutritional value. They contain good quality proteins, necessary unsaturated fatty acids, fibre, some vitamins and numerous minerals. Apart from that, white button mushroom fruiting bodies contain a wide range of bioactive substances, which have a positive influence on health, such as polysaccharides, glyco- proteins, tocopherols, polyphenols and other antioxidants, e.g. ergothioneine. Apart from the antioxidant properties, the white button mushroom also has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, anticancer, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective and anti-atherosclerotic activities.

The symptoms produced on well differentiated fruit body are localized light brown depressed spots. The adjacent spots coalesce together to form irregular blotches. If the host pathogen infection is established before differentiation, sclerodermoid fruiting bodies appear on casing surface. All the four fungitoxicants tested in vitro by poisoned food technique inhibited the growth of V. fungicola and A. bisporus. Carbendazim gave highest percent growth inhibition of pathogen and host followed by Thiophanate-methyl, Dithane Z-78 and Dithane M-45. In all the fungitoxicants when tested in bed condition, Carbendazim was observed to be most effective in reducing the disease incidence Key words: Agaricus bisporus, Verticillium fungicola, dry bubble, carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, dithane Z- 78 and dithane M-45.

Kyiv, 252601, Ukraine In this paper on microscopic and other studies on the vegetative mycelium of 17 species of the fen us Agaricus authors have report a number of new characteristics which seem to have taxonoaic significance for certain species within this genus. These are in particular presence of clamp connections, asexual speculation, relative DNA content and number of nuclei per cell, the last property possibly having also some ecological significance. Fluorescence of the vegetative mycelium was characteristic for all Agaricus species investigated. Most of the properties of vegetative mycelium of the reported Agaricus species were unknown so far. Authors conclude that using micromorphological criteria of the vegetative mycelium in addition to cultural properties, it seems to be possible to establish new taxonomical criteria in the genus Agaricus, being typical also for other Agaricaies. Introduction Cultural and morphological properties of sterile vegetative mycelia of higher Basidiomycetes are often used in the study of taxonomic, developmental and biotechnological problems (Miller, 1971; Nobles, 1971; Stalpers, 1978; Buchalo & Wasser, 1981; Sasek et aL, 1986; Buchalo, 1988; Semerdzieva et al., 1988; Klan, Baudisova & Ruflova, 1992; Buchalo et al., 1994a, Molitoris, 1995). The vegetative mycelium in Basidiomycetes, like in most other fungi, represents a complex of differently branched hyphae, which differ only within narrow limits of width, length, number of nuclei, thickness of cell walls and the character of branching.
