The Biology and Cultivation of Edible Mushrooms by S. T. Chang,W. A. Hayes Pdf

The Biology and Cultivation of Edible Mushrooms emphasizes the biological and cultivation aspects of edible mushrooms. This book refers to edible mushrooms as epigeous and hypogeous fruiting bodies of macroscopic fungi that are commercially cultivated or grown in half-culture processes or potentially implanted under controlled conditions. The topics discussed include the morphology and classification of edible mushrooms; cryogenic freezing of mushroom spawn; spawning and mycelium growth; and cultivation of Pleurotus. The geographic distribution of truffles; potential cultivation of various edible fungi; and economics of cultivated mushrooms are also elaborated. This publication is intended for experienced mushroom specialists, seasoned commercial growers, and biology students who are interested in edible mushrooms.

The Biology and Cultivation of Edible Mushrooms by Triloki Nath Kaul,B. L. Dhar Pdf

The book besides outlining the biological features of three important cultivated edible species viz., Agaricus bisporus, Volviariella volvacea and Pleurotus; provides their state-of-theart cultivation techniques, including infrastructural needs and crop management practices. The most important feature of the book, which is not available in other books of similar nature, is the chapter on Molecular Biology, introducing a highly important emerging discipline, to both the laymen and subject matter specialists. Its relevance to the improvement of mushroom crops and methodology followed therein (including genetic engineering), is elaborated in the text. The role of molecular techniques for taxonomic determinations is also highlighted for some species.

Mushroom Biology by Philip G Miles,Shu-Ting Chang Pdf

The discipline of Mushroom Biology, created by the authors of this book, has now been legitimized by references in the scientific literature and by two International Conferences devoted to the subject. This book sets the parameters of Mushroom Biology in a concise manner and also emphasizes trends and points out future directions which will lead to a greater utilization of mushrooms and mushroom products. The discipline was established to bring together persons who have in common scientific or commercial interests involving mushrooms. The authors' definition of mushroom is more broad than the usual mycological definition so that macrofungi other than Basidiomycetes can be included. Mushrooms may be edible, non-edible, poisonous or medicinal species, with hypogeous or epigeous fruiting bodies, and their texture may be fleshy or non-fleshy. Many aspects of Mushroom Biology are presented, including nutritional and medicinal uses, the role of mushrooms in bioremediation, biotechnology, and in the bioconversion of waste organic materials into forms that can enter the major nutrient cycles. Basic scientific studies involving mushroom species are also considered with an emphasis on genetics and breeding.

Biology, Cultivation and Applications of Mushrooms by Arun Arya,Katerina Rusevska Pdf

The edited book consolidates information for profitable commercial cultivation of medicinal mushrooms. The book suggests a large number of substrates to the growers for use in commercial cultivation of Mushrooms. It also elucidates the conservation of wild endangered medicinal mushrooms. Mushrooms are the fungal fruiting bodies which can be seen by naked eyes and collected by hands. These are extremely heterogeneous organisms characterized by high levels of species diversity and are widespread in all environments. Researches conducted by score of mycologists and biotechnologists, have resulted in the continuous discovery of new species and the variability of environments where fungi can be harvested, including air, space the seabed. The fields of applications are unfolding a panorama of uses in varied fields, ranging from agriculture, bioremediation, forestry, food, cosmetics, medical, and in pharmaceutical sectors. The book comprises of three parts, first mentions their applications in Ayurvedic and traditional system of Chinese medicine for the cure of ailments. The truffles are delicious, while many others are recommended, as cure in deadly diseases like cancer, COVID-19, and HIV, as well as memory and longevity enhancer. Lentinus, Ganoderma, and Cordyceps are considered good as antioxidant and cure for inflammation. Second part deals with their occurrence in different habitats and seasons and their biology. Enzymes and mechanisms involved in biodegradation and anatomical details of rotting wood. The third part brings about the need of mushroom technology in improving rural economy. This book is a useful read for researchers and students in agriculture, agronomy and researchers working on mushrooms. ​

Genetics and Breeding of Edible Mushrooms by A.C. Chang Pdf

Explores the breeding programs for the button mushroom in the context of the wide range of edible mushrooms now being cultivated worldwide. The 15 papers, from a UNESCO workshop in Hong Kong, July 1991, discuss topics such as the background and general objectives of culture collection and breeding, the genetic systems, and biological approaches to breeding. In addition to providing foodstuffs, the applications include producing high-value fungal metabolites and upgrading lignocellulosic wastes, and wastewater treatment.
