“…The high protein contents of the P. pulmonarius fruit bodies cultivated on the various substrates confirms the assertion by several workers that mushroom protein is intermediate between that of animals and vegetables, but superior to most other foods, including milk and contains all the nine essential amino acids required by man (Chang and Miles, 2004;Kurtzman, 2009). Protein is an important nutritional component and protein deficiency, the world's most serious human nutrition problem, especially in third world countries like Nigeria.…”

“…The high protein contents of the P. pulmonarius fruit bodies cultivated on the various logs confirms the assertion by several workers that mushroom protein is intermediate between that of animals and vegetables, but superior to most other foods, including milk and contains all the nine essential amino acids required by man [15][16][17]. Low fat content of the mushroom shows that the mushroom could be good for people with cardiac problems.…”

“…Pleurotus species are good source of protein, vitamins and minerals [8,14]. Mushroom protein is intermediate between that of animals and vegetables, but superior to most other foods, including milk and contains all the essential amino acids required by man [15][16][17]. Mushrooms contain appreciable quantities of crude fibres although little information exists on the total dietary fibre (TDF) content of mushrooms.…”

IntroductionMushrooms are unique biota which assemble their food by degrading enzymes and decompose the complex food materials present in the biomass where they grow [1]. Oyster mushrooms can be grown on various substrates due to its strong enzymatic features. Different substrates are used in each region depending on their availability [2]. Wheat straw, sawdust and other agricultural by-products resulting after processing of waste paper, Hazelnut and Tilia have been used in Oyster mushroom cultivation [3]; maize, corn, rice, elephant grass [4], sugarcane [5], coffee [6] have been examined as alternative substrates for its cultivation. These substrate materials are usually by products from industries, households, agriculture etc., and are usually considered as wastes [7]. However, these wastes are actually resources in the wrong place at a particular time and mushroom cultivation can harness them for its own benefit [8].Kadiri and Aizai [9] showed that Lentinus subnudus could be cultivated on wood logs of tropical trees. According to Hyunjong and Seung [10], hard woods such as poplar, willow, beech, elm and alder are the most commonly used tree species in oyster mushroom cultivation. He noted that unlike shiitake, Oyster mushrooms do not grow well on Oak tree logs. Hyunjong and Seung [10] reported that since mushroom feed primarily on sapwood, any tree trunk selected for inoculation must have a larger sap wood area. The lighter or outermost wood of a log is the sapwood and the darker or inner wood is the heartwood.The desirability of a food product does not necessarily bear any correlation to its nutritional values instead, its appearance, taste and aroma, sometimes can stimulate one's appetite [8]. Mushroom has been used as a food and medicine by different civilizations since immemorial AbstractThis study was conducted to determine the nutritional and bioactive compounds composition of Pleurotus pulmonarius fruit bodies cultivated on tree logs of Dacryodes edulis, Mangifera indica and Treculia africana. Pure mycelium culture of P. pulmonarius was aseptically bulked in sorghum grains. Logs were cut into average length of 18 cm with inoculation holes of 3 cm × 15 mm diameter; using high speed drill (HSD) of 5 drill bit and allowed to decompose for 8 months. During mushroom cultivation, logs were soaked in tap water for 24 hrs and pasteurized at 80°C in an improvised metallic drum (IMD) for 1 hour; using cooking gas as heat source and allowed to cool overnight. 10 g of grain based spawn was inserted into 2/3 of each hole by way of inoculation and sealed with sterile polybag for mycelium incubation. Polybags were cut open after spawn run following primordial initiation. Fruit bodies were harvested at maturity, sundried ground and packed in airtight container prior to further analysis. Data was analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and mean separation by Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) while levels of significance were determined at 5%. Results indicate that P. pulmonarius fruit bodies harvested from variou...

“…Oyster mushroom is rich in proteins, vitamin and minerals ad popularly called the vegetarian's meat because it has same nutrients with meat. Mushrooms proteins are considered to be intermediate between that of animals and vegetables (Kurtzman 1976) as they contain all the nine amino acids required for human body (Hayes and Haddad, 1976). Essential trace elements like Fe2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Ca2+ etc.…”

Nowadays, the oyster mushrooms can be cultivated successfully under semi controlled conditions in a customized space by using agricultural as well as industrial waste and other refuse as substrate. In the Albania, for the first time we conducted grown of Ploreatus Ostreatus mushrooms in the farm in the favorite conditions (like natural conditions) from applied high technology, automatic control for each parameter. This study present content of metals and nutrient in the "Pleurotus Ostretus" mushrooms samples that was cultivated on wheat straw substrate compositions using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. We are collected a total of 20 samples where 10 samples are edible mushrooms and 10 samples are substrate samples. The mean concentrations of the elements K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb, Cr, Ni and Pb were determined in mushrooms cultivated on wheat straw substrate and we have calculated bioaccumulation factor substrate to edible mushrooms. All results are presented in table and graphical forms. Also we have determined protein, carbohydrates, fat, acidity and humidity, in the Pleurotus Ostreatus mushrooms.
