“…A number of these species have appeared as mushrooms products on the shelves in supermarkets (S1 Fig) and been cooked in the daily life (S2 Fig). In recent years, artificial cultivation of edible mushrooms with the benefits of short growing times, very low inputs requirements for production, prevailing external climatic and easy production technologies has become more and more popular in many regions due to an increasing awareness on the usage of them [4–6]. The quality of cultivated edible mushrooms is becoming an object of public concern.…”

Nowadays, Wolfiporia extensa as a popular raw material in food and medicine industry has received increasing interests. Due to supply shortage, this species of edible and medicinal mushroom has been cultivated in some provinces of China. In the present study, cultivated W. extensa collected from six regions in Yunnan Province of China were analyzed by an integrated method based on Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and ultra-fast liquid chromatography (UFLC) coupled with multivariate analysis including partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) in order to investigate the differences and similarities in different origins and parts. In the tested mushroom samples, characteristic FT-IR spectra were obtained for acquiring comprehensive fuzz chemical information and pachymic acid was determinated as a biomarker in the meantime. From the results, the comparison of samples was achieved successfully according to their geographical regions and different parts. All the samples displayed regional dependence and the inner parts showed better quality consistency. In addition, the chemical constituents of cultivated W. extensa could be also affected by the cultivation methods. Meanwhile, there was an interesting finding that the soil properties of cultivation regions may have a relationship with the chemical constituents of the epidermis of soil-cultured W. extensa, rather than the inner parts. Collectively, it demonstrated that the present study could provide comprehensive chemical evidence for the critical complement of quality evaluation on the cultivated W. extensa. Moreover, it may be available for the further researches of complicated mushrooms in practice.

“…Di Malaysia, terdapat ramai usahawan menceburi perusahaan cendawan atas dasar minat yang begitu mendalam dan untuk menjana sumber pendapatan namun tahap kejayaan kebanyakan daripada mereka adalah kurang menyerlah. Ini disebabkan oleh kekurangan ilmu pengetahuan berkaitan pengurusan tanaman dan pengurusan lepas tuai; kurang inovasi; tidak bersifat kreatif; dan skop industri yang tidak bersifat komersil (Rosmiza et al, 2016). Justeru, kepentingan penyertaan institusi kerajaan mahupun swasta dilihat sangat relevan memandangkan kebanyakan usahawan kekurangan modal dan kemahiran untuk menguasai pasaran (Rosmiza et al, 2015).…”

AbstrakSenario permintaan di pasaran global semakin meningkat terhadap tanaman cendawan disebabkan kelebihannya dalam pembangunan industri farmaseutikal, nutraseutikal, kosmeseutikal serta potensinya dalam pembangunan industri hiliran lain. Lantas, mendorong penglibatan agropreneur untuk menceburi industri herba ini. Namun, kadar penawaran cendawan di pasaran tempatan masih lagi rendah lantaran kekurangan pengusaha. Dalam usaha meningkatkan kadar penawaran cendawan di pasaran tempatan dan galakan penyertaan agropreneur, Dasar Agromakanan Negara (2011-2020) telah menetapkan industri cendawan sebagai salah satu industri bernilai tinggi negara. Tumpuan diberikan oleh pihak kerajaan sebagai dorongan untuk meningkatkan penyertaan agropreneur menceburi tanaman cendawan. Justeru, kajian dilakukan untuk mengkaji jenis cendawan yang ditawarkan serta menilai faktor kecenderungan penglibatan agropreneur dalam industri cendawan di Johor. Pemilihan Johor sebagai kawasan kajian memandangkan kadar penglibatan agropreneur dan pengeluaran hasil cendawan di wilayah ini adalah tertinggi di Malaysia. Rekabentuk kajian bersifat kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Kaedah triangulasi melibatkan kaji selidik, temubual dan pemerhatian telah dilaksanakan ke atas 42 orang responden. Kajian mendapati keseluruhan agropreneur di Johor menawarkan cendawan tiram kelabu (Pleurotus pulmonarius) kerana permintaan di pasaran tempatan adalah tinggi selain turut mengusahakan cendawan kukur (Schizophyllum sp.) dalam skala kecil. Kajian menonjolkan kecenderungan utama penglibatan agropreneur dalam industri tanaman cendawan adalah disebabkan oleh faktor minat terhadap tanaman herba ini. Selain itu, ia turut didorong oleh pulangan pendapatan lumayan dalam jangka masa singkat; pengaruh rakan perniagaan yang berjaya; pengaruh dasar kerajaan; serta mengambil alih perusahaan keluarga. Kesungguhan minat agropreneur untuk mengusahakan tanaman cendawan perlu didorong secara bersepadu, efektif serta holistik oleh pihak kerajaan melalui penawaran pelbagai insentif serta khidmat nasihat. Peningkatan penyertaan agropreneur dalam industri herba ini akan meningkatkan penawaran cendawan di pasaran malah berupaya mengurangkan kebergantungan import serta mensasarkan kepada jualan eksport negara.

“…The second is that inadequacy of technological performance influencing yield productivity (Nugroho, 2013 ;Arminsyurita, 2014 ;Iriantinah, 2014). By using the same tool of analysis, outside Indonesia, other authors also stated that mushroom industry such as in Malaysia and Turkey experience similar weakness (Celik & Peker, 2009 ;Rozmiza et al, 2016). Eventually these previous studies suggested to expand the scale and also to enhance technological aspect for gaining quality and quantity of production.…”

Mushroom farming has become attractive business in agricultural sector due to its simplicity and flexibility of cultivation and quite profitable. Health awareness of Indonesian people about mushroom gives a positive impact to mushroom business. Behind the good aspects, several evidence argued that production performance of mushroom business is not optimal related to less capacity and deficiently appropriate knowledge. This paper aims to learn the unique strategy and innovation from local mushroom enterprise which is very famous in Cianjur distric, West Java, Indonesia in order to improve the business performance. Using technological (innovation) approach and qualitative method, this study concluded that there are two types of strategies, one relating to the technological part, and the other relating to the organization part. The technological focuses on attracting market and enhancing the yield productivity. The organization part focuses on developing capacity to fulfill the demand by making a contract agreement resembling contract farming with local society. For local society, the contract agreement has benefit to minimize both market failure and production problems under supervison support and without monopoly action. The strategies were capable of being successful innovation by interacting and cooperating with external sources, and performing certain adjustment with local condition.
