Summary: In this study, blue emission CDs were prepared by one-step hydrothermal synthesis and applied to oyster mushroom, showing that CDs can enter and transport within the mushroom, provide nutrition for hypha growth, and have no adverse effects on the growth of sporophores at high concentrations, indicating good toxicity tolerance. The research illustrates the relationship between uptake, translocation, and toxicity of CDs on edible fungi, laying the foundation for further application of CDs in edible fungi systems.

Summary: This study reveals the defense mechanism of Pleurotus ostreatus against fungivorous insects and mites by investigating the changes in transcriptome, proteome, and secondary metabolism. P. ostreatus activates specific pathways and synthesizes specific compounds to defend against mite attacks, including the ROS/MAPK signaling pathway, JA regulation, and defensive metabolite synthesis.

Summary: The study found that P. ostreatus has the potential to degrade DBDPE and effectively remove harmful substances from the environment, although coexisting substances like lead may inhibit its degradation efficiency. Enzymatic activity, particularly Lac, played a key role in the biodegradation process, while toxic responses included enhanced SOD and CAT activities.

Summary: This study introduced a novel application strategy to turn conventional spent mushroom substrate (SMS) into renewable biochar SMS in mushroom production. The renewable SMS demonstrated greater mushroom yields and faster fruiting time compared to conventional SMS. Biochar retained substrate moisture and reduced nutrient loss, contributing to the increased mushroom yields. Further analyses confirmed the food safety of oyster mushrooms cultivated using renewable SMS. The economic analyses indicated a higher output-to-input ratio for renewable SMS compared to conventional SMS. Additionally, the basic properties of renewable SMS and its effect on mushroom growth remained consistent even after repeated use.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of white-rot fungi (WRF) on enhancing phenanthrene catabolism in soil over time. The results showed that soils amended with WRF immobilized on spent brewery grains (SBG) had reduced lag phases and increased mineralization rates of 14C-phenanthrene compared to other WRF amendments. Pleurotus ostreatus and Phanerochaete chrysosporium had a stronger influence on biodegradation, while Trametes versicolor showed the best results among the WRF amendments. Fungal enzyme activities increased in all amended soils and were positively correlated with the mineralization extents of 14C-phenanthrene.

Summary: In this study, oyster mushroom was cultivated using hazelnut branches, hazelnut husk, wheat straw, rice husk, and spent coffee grounds. Composts were prepared using different mixtures of these waste materials, and the yield, biological activity, spawn run time, total harvesting time, and mushroom quality were determined. Chemical analysis of the lignocellulosic materials used in mushroom production showed changes in their composition. This study demonstrated that hazelnut branch waste can be used for oyster mushroom cultivation.

Summary: Biorefineries are essential for a sustainable circular bioeconomy, utilizing microbial enzymes to hydrolyze lignocellulosic substrates. Fungal co-cultures have shown enhanced enzyme activities, especially in beta-glucosidase, with Trichoderma reesei being a prominent candidate for future investigations. Further research is needed to explore molecular interactions and optimize enzyme cocktails in controlled environments before industrial application.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of anaerobic digestate from organic household waste as a fertilizer for oyster mushroom production. The results showed that at appropriate concentrations, anaerobic digestate yielded similar productivity and protein concentration as standard mushroom substrate. However, high concentrations of anaerobic digestate inhibited mushroom growth. The use of anaerobic digestate as fertilizer also resulted in differences in elemental composition and micro-pollutant levels compared to standard substrate.

Summary: The biotechnological applications of oyster mushroom (P. ostreatus L.) in myco-remediation of pollutants and bio-fermentation of agro-industrial wastes offer a sustainable approach to environmental protection. Oyster mushroom cultivation substrate serves as a vital source for producing biofertilizers, animal feeds, bioenergy, and bio-remediators. The spent mushroom substrate can be utilized for enzyme production and bioethanol. Further research is needed to explore new biotechnological approaches.

Summary: Consumers are increasingly interested in products with specific nutritional and health-promoting properties. Producers have responded to this demand by developing fortified foods. Mushrooms are one of the raw materials that can be used to enrich food. By isolating crude water soluble polysaccharides (cWSP) from oyster mushrooms, enriched milk yogurts can be produced. However, the addition of cWSP leads to changes in texture and taste, and increases the antioxidant capacity of the yogurt.

Summary: This study assessed the influence of sawdust's chemical composition on the nutritional profile of oyster mushrooms. The pH of the sawdust significantly affected the protein, carbohydrate, fat, and ash content of the mushrooms, while hemicellulose had a significant impact on their mineral, fat, and crude fiber content. The study revealed that using low pH sawdust (slightly acidic to slightly basic) can result in high protein content, and mushrooms grown on hemicellulose-rich substrates have low fat and high crude fiber content.

Summary: Mutational analysis of a mutant with decreased lignin-degrading ability in P. ostreatus revealed that a mutation in the hir1 gene encoding a histone chaperone altered the expression pattern of ligninolytic genes. This suggests that hir1 plays a critical role in regulating lignocellulolytic genes in P. ostreatus.

Summary: The dry matter digestibility of corn stover and kudzu after solid-state fermentation with a white-rot fungus was evaluated in this study. There were significant differences in in vitro dry matter digestibility values among the treatment groups, with treatment 4 showing the highest value on day 77. The treated corn stover and kudzu mixes were comparable with the control, indicating their potential use in ruminant animal feed development.
