“…Most Basidiomycota strain culture begins from the tissue culture method or spore print method. In addition, they are also isolated from dead trees, soil, and other organic wastes [ 80 ]. The optimum temperature and humidity for most fungi mycelium development are 25–30°C [ 26 ] and 60–65% [ 81 ].…”

Because of the alarming rate of human population growth, technological improvement should be needed to save the environment from pollution. The practice of business as usual on material production is not creating a circular economy. The circular economy refers to an economic model whose objective is to produce goods and services sustainably, by limiting the consumption and waste of resources (raw materials, water, and energy). Fungal-based composites are the recently implemented technology that fulfills the concept of the circular economy. It is made with the complex of fungi mycelium and organic substrates by using fungal mycelium as natural adhesive materials. The quality of the composite depends on both types of fungi and substrate. To ensure the physicochemical property of the fabricated composite, mycelium morphology, bimolecular content, density, compressive strength, thermal stability, and hydrophobicity were determined. This composite is proven to be used for different applications such as packaging, architectural designs, walls, and insulation. It also has unique features in terms of low cost, low emission, and recyclable.

“…The ability of edible fungi to utilise different wastes plays a key role in the decomposition of organic substances, formation of simple organic byproducts and enrichment of soil microbes leading to soil fertility (Heilmann-Clausen & Boddy 2005, Pavlík & Pavlík 2013. Hence, the degrading enzymes in mycelia of Pleurotus spp.…”

Cultivation of edible fungi, notably Pleurotus species, have been considered as alternative food supplement due to their functional qualities. In this study, the effect of different substrates on the yield, biological efficiency and proximate composition of Pleurotus spp. was evaluated. Proximate analysis of the substrates and cultivated mushrooms was carried out using standard methods. Pleurotus ostreatus harvested from Terminalia ivorensis and Triplochiton scleroxylon had the highest yield of 46.97 g and 45.81 g, respectively, with a biological efficiency (BE) of 48.83% and 48.40%, which were significantly different from other mushrooms cultivated on wood dusts. Pleurotus pulmonarius cultivated on T. ivorensis and Gossypium hirsutum had a BE of 43.54 % and 42.28%, which are similar values to the BE of P. "florida" (43.09 %) cultivated on Ceiba pentandra. Pleurotus ostreatus cultivated on Terminalia ivorensis and Alstonia congensis have the highest protein and crude fibre contents of 30.09% and 21.06%, respectively. Pleurotus "florida" harvested from Gossypium hirsutum, Persea americana and T. ivorensis have the highest values of moisture (4.91%), fat (3.96%) and ash (13.98%), respectively, while P. pulmonarius cultivated on Ficus mucuso has a carbohydrate content of 57.66%. The cultivated Pleurotus mushrooms on wood dusts are means of providing foods that are richly endowed with nutritive components, which can be supplemented to low dietary foods to eliminate malnutrition.

“…ostreatus which was detected on black poplars in Square A and Amur maples in Square C, was identified based on the structure of its fruiting body, i.e., the cap, hymenophore, and stipe. It is an edible fungus with fleshy annual shelving conks, sessile or with a short eccentric stalk (Pavlik and Pavlik 2013;Grzywacz and Staniszewski 2003;Szczepkowski 2012). P. ostreatus is a saprotrophic fungus accelerating wood decomposition (Pavlik 2005).…”

Key message Comprehensive management of urban greenery is a key approach to control fungal diseases of trees and shrubs to avoid the deterioration in their health status. Abstract Preliminary investigations on the health status related to fungal diseases of trees and shrubs growing in four green squares in Warsaw were conducted in 2017–2019. The examined plants were affected by diseases that are commonly identified in urban greenery, e.g., powdery mildew (causal agents: Sawadaea tulasnei, S. bicornis, Podosphaera leucotricha, Podosphaera sp., Erysiphe alphitoides, E. magnifica, E. berberidis, E. flexuosa and E. adunca), rusts (Gymnosporangium sabinae, Melampsora laricis-populina), apple scab (Venturia inaequalis), tar spot of maple (Rhytisma acerinum), and oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). The causal agents of the diseases were identified based on their morphological (macro- and microscopic) features. Preventing and managing fungal plant diseases and reduction of their effects are the key tasks in conscious management of urban greenery. To address this issue, the study presents basic guidelines based on the application of various recommended actions and good practices, which constitute a comprehensive and sustainable strategy for integrated protection of trees and shrubs against these diseases. The implementation of the strategy for complex management of urban greenery is a crucial measure aimed at maintenance of a high health status of urban plants.
