Mushrooms are great food for humans with low energy content but high nutritional values. While in most Asian countries growing, eating exotic mushrooms as well as their medical use have a long tradition, unfortunately we do not make use of their potential hidden value here in Europe.The aim of our current work is to work out growing king oyster mushroom [Pleurotus eryngii (DC.:Fr.) Quél.] adapted to Hungarian resources and Far Eastern polypropylene bottled technology while the efficiency of investment and growing was examined how to meet the expectations of sustainable farming.To grow this species, the growing organic substrate was based on using mainly agricultural, industrial and forestry by-products and formed by considering Hungarian opportunities since this species is capable of degrading and utilising different lignocellulose materials.In the course of the work polypropylene bottled technology in line with an automated system was first used in growing this excellent edible mushroom species in the Carpathian Basin. In the future this technology can mean the base for growing not only P. eryngii but also other mushroom species (e.g. Flammulina velutipes, Hericium erinaceus, Hypsizygus marmoreus etc.) at plant-level sustainable production.
In our current publication we examine the project risks of construction investments, partly based on an earlier research, partly based on a currently undergoing primary research. Our goal is to further define and detail the risk factors that can be learnt, discovered and filtered during the investment projects so that we can create a model valid for the whole sector during a unified, standardizable model creation process. We continue to base our research on the relevant professional literature and on our earlier secondary research data. In our study, we show the deeper, qualitative background of our current primary research. During the qualitative phase, we conducted in-depth interviews (based on a partly structured interview draft in order to examine the professional opinions), and we hereby publish the results of this research.
The high intrinsic nutritional value of mushrooms is a cheap source of protein, from a nutritional point of view, it is becoming increasingly important. The importance of the sector is shown by the fact that it is mostly grown on horticultural, forestry, animal by-products and wastes so mushroom is the sector where sustainability can really be applicable. Characterized by a high degree of innovation it is a dynamically developing sector.
In terms of mushroom production, Iran is one of the leading countries in the world as mushrooms productions play an utmost important role in non-oil export in the country. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the financial aspect of mushroom cultivation in Iran. To this end, the current study sought to find the operational costs and potential revenue of mushroom cultivation in Iran. This qualitative experimental study, using in-depth semistructured interviews with mushroom producers, examines their current situation in Iran. The findings show that mainly two types of mushrooms are produced in Iran, namely Agaricus bisporus (champions) and oyster mushrooms. It is also revealed that although the number of oyster mushroom production units is increasing every year, the profitability of Agaricus bisporus in Iran is higher. Despite the industry's profitability in Iran, mushroom growers in Iran are dissatisfied with their business and cite a number of reasons, including low profitability, low demand, seasonal demand, limited transportation, and economic instability
People working in mushroom production are exposed to different hazards such as biological, chemical and physical ones. Hypersensitive pneumonitis (HP) that can cause respiratory allergy poses the greatest risk. A typical work-related disease is lung infection and allergic reaction. Allergic hypersensitivity can be classified in five different groups. The agents, problems, symptoms of hypersensitive pneumonia as well as its nosology are presented. The most frequent work-related diseases are farmer lungs and mushroom grower lungs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
