{Abstract}: The objective of this study was to find optimum rice bran (RB) and food waste compost (FWC) contents in culture medium for mycelial growth rate and fruit body yield of oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus. RB (0–20%) and FWC (20–40%) contents significantly affected the fruit body yield of P.  ostreatus. Within the design boundaries, the optimum conditions for maximum mycelial growth rate (14.8  cm  20  d−1) were 9.3% RB and 24% FWC. The optimum conditions for maximum fruit body yield (91  g  bottle−1) were 12% RB and 25% FWC, which was 153% higher than value (36  ±  11  g  bottle−1) at the control condition of 80% w/w sawdust and 20% w/w RB. Our results proved a good potential of FWC to serve as an alternative growth medium for cultivating oyster mushroom, P.  ostreatus. This may improve the production efficiency of edible mushrooms to help minimize production costs and maximize farm profits.

{Abstract}: Total phenolics, radical scavenging activity (RSA) on DPPH, ascorbic acid content and chelating activity on Fe2+ of Pleurotus citrinopileatus, Pleurotus djamor, Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus flabellatus, Pleurotus florida, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus sajor-caju and Hypsizygus ulmarius have been evaluated. The assayed mushrooms contained 3.94-21.67 mg TAE of phenolics, 13.63-69.67% DPPH scavenging activity, 3.76-6.76 mg ascorbic acid and 60.25-82.7% chelating activity. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed that significantly higher total phenolics, RSA on DPPH and growth/day was present in P. eryngii whereas P. citrinopileatus showed higher ascorbic acid and chelating activity. Agglomerative hierarchical clustering analysis revealed that studied mushroom species fall into two clusters; Cluster I included P. djamor, P. eryngii and P. flabellatus, while Cluster II included H. ulmarius, P. sajor-caju, P. citrinopileatus, P. ostreatus and P. florida. Enhanced yield of P. eryngii was achieved on spent compost casing material. Use of casing materials enhanced yield by 21-107% over non-cased substrate.   2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

{Abstract}: The potential of Agaricus subrufescens strains to colonize and transform horse manure and wheat-straw-based mushroom compost under the physico-chemical conditions typically used for Agaricus bisporus was assessed. Lignocellulolytic activities, HO production and substrate transformation (assessed via CP/MAS NMR of C) for certain A. subrufescens strains were similar or even greater than those obtained for an A. bisporus strain used as control. Moreover, the functional diversity of the microbial communities of the substrate was not altered by the growth of A. subrufescens after 2weeks. These findings obtained with mesocosms simulating the incubation phase of the mushroom production process hold promise for the improvement of cultivation of this tropical Agaricus species on European standard mushroom compost.
