“…It should be noted that the characteristics analyzed in the substrates do not differ drastically ( Table 1 ), the composts being quite similar, meeting the compost quality index for mushroom cultivation [ 20 ]. Pardo et al [ 21 ] introduce a HACCP system in the compost elaboration line, which allow the composting companies to design and establish a self-control system to ensure the quality of their productions, but the authors did not verify the mycochemical characteristics of the harvested mushrooms.…”

Agaricus subrufescens Peck is a basidiomycete with immunomodulatory compounds and antitumor activities. This research evaluated the mycochemical composition of A. subrufescens, considering their morphological and physiological stage of maturity, with a particular focus on the development of a traceability process for the formulation of new nutritional products based on fungal foods. The stipes contained a high amount of dry matter (10.33%), total carbohydrate (69.56%), available carbohydrate (63.89%), and energy value (363.97 kcal 100 g−1 DM). The pilei contained a high amount of moisture (90.66%), nitrogen (7.75%), protein (33.96%), ash (8.24), crude fat (2.44%), acid detergent fiber (16.75 g kg−1), neutral detergent fiber (41.82 g kg−1), hemicellulose (25.07 g kg−1), and lignin (9.77 g kg−1). Stipes with mature physiological stage had higher values of dry matter (10.50%), crude fiber (5.94%), total carbohydrate (72.82%), AC (66.88%), and energy value (364.91 kcal 100 g−1 DM). Pilei of the mushrooms in the immature physiological stage had higher values of P (36.83%), N (8.41%), and A (8.44%). Due to the differences between the mycochemical compositions of the morphological parts of mushrooms linked to their physiological stage of maturity, such characteristics have immense potential to be considered for a traceability process. This study can be used for the purpose of providing the consumer with more product diversity, optimizing bioactivities of composts, and allowing farmers an efficient and profitable use of the mushroom biomass.

“…In addition, larger amounts of marketable structures were harvested in 80% humidity equivalent briquettes. According to Zied et al (2011), substrates with humidity greater than 75% are limiting to the development of the majority of edible mushroom species produced on a commercial scale; this means that the briquetting technique alters the dynamism of water stress in axenic cultivation of oyster mushroom.…”

“…For the production of briquettes, the experimental design was completely randomized, with eight replicates per treatment, in a 4x3 factorial scheme, corresponding to: briquetting pressure (2, 4, 6 and 8 ton-force) and substrate humidity (40, 60 and 80%), respectively. The scientific research states that the substrate humidity for cultivation of edible mushrooms should range from 60 to 75%, otherwise there is unproductivity due to inappropriate supply of water to microbial metabolic activity (Zied et al, 2011). Therefore, in this study, values not included in the optimum range recommended by the aforementioned authors were selected, aiming precisely to evaluate the effect of water stress on the productive yield of oyster mushroom cultivated in briquettes, since there is no literary information available to respect to such phenomena associated with briquetting.…”

AXENIC CULTIVATION OF Pleurotus ostreatus var. Florida IN SUPPLEMENTED SUGARCANE BAGASSE BRIQUETTES

Articles on the applicability of briquetting to the production of mushrooms are rare. Therefore, this research provides the scientific community and, mainly, producers, unpublished technical information regarding the productive yield of oyster mushroom cultivated in sugarcane bagasse briquettes supplemented with bioproducts of cereals. In 30 days of axenic cultivation, 6 tons-force briquettes with 80% humidity resulted in higher productivity (30.4%), and generated the lowest physical volume of exhausted compound (44.8%), thus, overcoming the technical performance of the other briquetting matrices tested, and even of methods traditionally used for the preparation of substrate for P. ostreatus cultivation on a commercial scale. The conclusion is, therefore, that the axenic cultivation of P. ostreatus var. Florida in sugarcane bagasse briquettes, supplemented with bioproducts of cereals, has technically qualified as an original and efficient method for the production of high biological value protein by the recycling of agricultural residues and can therefore guarantee multiple economic benefits to the agribusiness of the oyster mushroom, in addition to allowing reduction of environmental impacts by the restricted generation of exhausted compound in the post-harvest stage.

“…The cultivation of edible mushrooms is actually an alternative biotech which is fast, environmentally friendly and feasible to recycle organic byproducts from agribusiness into high nutritional and medicinal quality food both with respect to the amount of protein or minerals and selected substances with medicinal and pharmacological properties, for example the presence of β-glucans like lentinan, and thus it can contribute significantly in feeding human.

A study was conducted to examine the utilization of seafood processing wastes for artificial cultivation of edible mushroom Pleurotus flabellatus in laboratory condition. Utilizing bioconversion technology such as the slow release of nutrients for agricultural based activities like producing mushroom will profitably reduce seafood waste and also enhancing environmental quality. The selected agro-industrial wastes such as coir pith, woodchips and sugarcane bagasse were mixed with cooked fish waste (CFW) in the ratio of 1:1 (500 g : 500 g). The substrates which were not mixed with CFW were treated as control. All the above materials were allowed to decompose partially for about 15 days. The partially composted materials were placed in heat resistant transparent sterilized polyethylene bags. Each sterile bag was then aseptically inoculated with P. flabellatus. The bags were then incubated under ambient temperature and controlled humidity. The maximum biological yield per bed was obtained with sugarcane bagasse control bed 58.05±0.88 g/bed. The lowest yield was observed in the substrate woodchips: CFW (1:1) 24.43±0.30 g / bed. Based on the mass obtained for P. flabellatus, the best substrates were in the ordered of woodchips>coir pith>sugarcane. This could be used to cultivate an edible mushroom while at the same time promoting environmental sustainability and increase soil fertility.
