{Abstract}: <em class="a-plus-plus">Pleurotus ostreatus</em> is the second most cultivated edible mushroom worldwide after <em class="a-plus-plus">Agaricus bisporus</em>. It has economic and ecological values and medicinal properties. Mushroom culture has moved toward diversification with the production of other mushrooms. Edible mushrooms are able to colonize and degrade a large variety of lignocellulosic substrates and other wastes which are produced primarily through the activities of the agricultural, forest, and food-processing industries. Particularly, <em class="a-plus-plus">P. ostreatus</em> requires a shorter growth time in comparison to other edible mushrooms. The substrate used for their cultivation does not require sterilization, only pasteurization, which is less expensive. Growing oyster mushrooms convert a high percentage of the substrate to fruiting bodies, increasing profitability. <em class="a-plus-plus">P. ostreatus</em> demands few environmental controls, and their fruiting bodies are not often attacked by diseases and pests, and they can be cultivated in a simple and cheap way. All this makes <em class="a-plus-plus">P. ostreatus</em> cultivation an excellent alternative for production of mushrooms when compared to other mushrooms.

{Abstract}: Mushroom industries generate a virtually in-exhaustible supply of a co-product called spent mushroom substrate (SMS). This is the unutilised substrate and the mushroom mycelium left after harvesting of mushrooms. As the mushroom industry is steadily growing, the volume of SMS generated annually is increasing. In recent years, the mushroom industry has faced challenges in storing and disposing the SMS. The obvious solution is to explore new applications of SMS. There has been considerable discussion recently about the potentials of using SMS for production of value-added products. One of them is production of lignocellulosic enzymes such as laccase, xylanase, lignin peroxidase, cellulase and hemicellulase. This paper reviews scientific research and practical applications of SMS as a readily available and cheap source of enzymes for bioremediation, animal feed and energy feedstock.

{Abstract}: Although oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.) is a valuable food, cultivated worldwide on an industrial scale, still very little is known about the microbial dynamics during oyster mushroom substrate preparation. Therefore, the characterization of the microbial dynamics by chemical and biological tools was the objective of this study. During substrate preparation, enzymatic digestibility of the substrate improved by 77%, whereas the cellulose and hemicellulose to lignin ratios decreased by 9% and 19%, respectively. Fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis reached its minimum value at the temperature maximum of the process during the composting phase and exceeded the initial level at the end of the process. Fungal species played part in the initial mesophilic phase of the substrate preparation process, but they disappeared after pasteurization in tunnels at constant elevated temperatures. Changes in the microbiota showed a marked bacterial community succession during substrate preparation investigated by 16S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid-based terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP). Mature samples represented the least variance, which indicated the effect of the standardized preparation protocol. The relation between mushroom yield and the bacterial community T-RFLP fingerprints was investigated, but the uniformity of mushroom yields did not support any significant correlation.

{Abstract}: A white-rot basidiomycete Ganoderma spp. has long been used as a medicinal mushroom in Asia, and it has an array of pharmacological properties for immunomodulatory activity. There have been many reports about the bioactive components and their pharmacological properties. In order to analyze the current status of Ganoderma products, the detailed process of cultivation of Ganoderma spp. and development of their products are restated in this review article. These include the breeding, cultivating, extracting bioactive component, and processing Ganoderma products, etc. This article will expand people's common knowledge on Ganoderma, and provide a beneficial reference for research and industrial production.
