Isolation and mycelial growth of Diehliomyces microsporus: effect of culture medium and incubation temperature

Abstract

The false truffle is one of the main problems in the production of the Agaricus brasiliensis in

Production of Agaricus blazei ss. Heinemann (A. brasiliensis) on different casing layers and environments

“…As a result, composting, spawning, casing layers and colonization, control of pests and contaminants have been studied and adapted from A. bisporus (Donini et al 2006;Kopytowski Filho et al 2006;Andrade et al 2007;Freire et al 2007;Nascimento and Eira 2007;Silva et al 2007;Kopytowski Filho et al 2008;. Other studies are also cited too about cytological and genetic characterization of this mushroom (Colauto et al 2002;Dias et al 2008).…”

Effect of Agaricus brasiliensis and Lentinula edodes mushrooms on the infection of passionflower with Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus

“…Heinem. ) are very cultivated in Brazil (Nascimento and Eira, 2007). They produce antiviral substances against viruses that infect animals, such as Human immunodeficiency virus -HIV (Tochikura et al, 1988), and against viruses that infect plants, such as Tobacco mosaic virus -TMV (Hiramatsu et al, 1987).…”

Cultivation of Agaricus blazei on Pleurotus spp. spent substrate

“…The aim of this work was to evaluate the possibility of using the P. ostreatus and P. sajorcaju spent substrate to grow Agaricus blazei. According with Eira and Nascimento (2007) Brazil is one of the main producers of A. blazei, recently named as A. brasiliensis (Murrill) S. Wasser and popularly denominated "Royal-sunAgaricus" in Brazil and Himematsutake in Japan. The growth of this mushroom started in Brazil in the 1990s, raising great interest in the Asian and North American markets due to its medicinal properties, especially its anti-oncogenic activity that adds a great value to this species.…”
