Context 1
... mushroom farming is a crucial biological decomposer with a short payoff that is necessary for converting waste into goods that are valuable. The following are some efficient mycoremediation procedures for pollutant removal: mycoacumulation, mycodegradation, mycovolatilization, mycostabilization, and mycostimulation ( Figure 1). The use of fungus mycelia and mushrooms in bioremediation are highlighted in this review literature. ...

Mushrooms are known to possess bioactive metabolites with active pharmacological properties. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus sajor-caju was performed. Studies on extracts of Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus sajor-caju revealed the presence of some essential phytochemicals which include proteins,...
Pleurotus eryngii (DC.) Quél.is a nutritious mushroom. Efforts have been made by modifying cultivation conditions to increase the yield of P. eryngii. However, the effects of these changes on its flavor and nutritional characteristics are not well understood. This study measured the nutritional content and free amino acid (FAA) levels of P. eryngii...
Background
L-ergothioneine (EGT), an antioxidative and anti-inflammatory amino acid, is abundant in various mushroom fruiting bodies. Meanwhile, the effects of EGT-containing mushrooms on human skin are unknown. This study investigated the effects of oral ingestion of a novel EGT-rich strain of Pleurotus species (hiratake) on skin conditions in hum...
Mushrooms play a vital role in our diet providing many essential macro and micro nutrients. In this
present study, pollution causing wastes such as plastic bottles and fishery wastes were effectively utilized
and recycled for the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus. The fishery wastes such as crab shells, fish scales,
shrimp shells were processed and use...
