Abstract:

Agaricus bisporus mushrooms are cultivated on straw compost prepared in the sequence phase I and phase II. Phase I is a process at 70–80 °C for several days up to 2 weeks. Phase II is a controlled process at 45 °C for 6 days. In phase II the thermophilic fungus Scytalidium thermophilum becomes abundant. Its density in finished compost is correlated with the yield of mushrooms. It stimulates the growth rate of mushroom mycelium. Scytalidium thermophilum was inoculated in batches of 1 tonne of pasteurized compost for experimental phase II. Mushroom yields on these composts were twice those of controls (pasteurized, not inoculated). This indicated that S. thermophilum is important for the conversion of straw to compost. The essential actions for mushroom crop productivity of high temperatures during phase I and of S. thermophilum during phase II are unclear. Key words: Agaricus bisporus, button mushroom, Scytalidium thermophilum, solid-state fermentation, processing, review.

Abstract:

The experiment entitled “Efficacy of different types of Composts on growth, yield and quality parameters of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) cv. Kashi Pragati” was conducted during Rabi season of the year 2020-2021 on experimental farm of Department of Horticulture, AKS University, Satna (M.P.). The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replicated 12 treatments viz., T0: Without compost (Control), T1: 100% Vermicompost + 100% Biogas slurry compost, T2: 100% Vermicompost + 100% Mushroom Spent compost, T3: 100% Biogas slurry compost + 100% Mushroom Spent compost, T4: 100% Vermicompost + 100% Biogas slurry compost +100% Mushroom Spent compost, T5: 100% Vermicompost + 50% Biogas slurry compost, T6: 100% Vermicompost + 50% Mushroom Spent compost, T7: 100% Biogas slurry compost + 50% Vermicompost, T8: 100% Biogas slurry compost + 50% Mushroom Spent compost, T9: 100% Mushroom Spent compost + 50% Vermicompost, T10: 100% Mushroom Spent compost + 50% Biogas slurry compost, T11: 50% Vermicompost + 50% Biogas slurry compost +50% Mushroom Spent compost. The results reveal that increase in Composts level had significant response on vegetative growth yield and quality of Okra. The treatment T4-100%Vermicompost +100% Biogas slurry compost +100% Mushroom Spent compost was found to be the best treatment among the different treatments with growth, yield and quality for Okra under satna condition.

Abstract:

Abstract Because wheat straw has a high cost as a feed for livestock, this work aims to use straw of Egyptian pea (Sesbania sesban) in compost preparation as an alternative for the cultivation of Agaricus bisporus. Six composts were used within this study on two mushroom strains A. bisporus (C9 and F599 strains). The type of compost has a significant (p<0.05) effect on the size of button mushroom fruits. WHS1 compost exhibited the best diameter of pileus at 5.28 cm while WCS1 compost showed the lowest diameter reaching 4.68 cm. A. bisporus C9 had the longest stipe while A. bisporus F599 has the greatest cap diameter.A. bisporus F599 showed a larger ratio of the diameter of pileus to the length of stipe (DP/ LS ratio) (1.14) compared with C9 (1.07). C:N ratios of compost decreased significantly (p<0.05) after cultivation of mushrooms because of the high increase of nitrogen content in spent mushroom compost (SMC). Finally, the straw of S. sesban is suitable as a supplement for the cultivation of A. bisporus.

Abstract:

AbstractCommercial mushroom producers grow several varieties of mushrooms on compost. Upon completion of the growing cycle, the spent mushroom compost is often sold as a soil amendment for both agricultural and homeowner use. Mushroom compost ingredients often come from fields infested with weeds, and in turn compost may spread unwanted weed seed. We conducted studies to assess the viability of weed seed following specific stages of the commercial mushroom production process. Weed seed was more likely to survive if the entire production process was not completed. However, no viable hairy vetch, Italian ryegrass, ivyleaf morningglory, Palmer amaranth, or velvetleaf remained at the end of the study. Although the seeds of most species were eliminated earlier in the composting process, ivyleaf morningglory required the complete process to eliminate 100% of the seed. These results indicate that spent mushroom compost is free of many weed species upon removal from mushroom houses and is unlikely to spread weed seed.

Abstract:

The toxicity of boron (B) and copper (Cu) to cultivated mushrooms was tested in 2 experiments. The growth of mushroom mycelium (Agaricus bisporus) on potato dextrose agar in vitro was inhibited by additions of B as H3BO3 and Cu as CuSO4.5H20. Boron was more inhibitory than Cu to mycelial growth. Addition of B to compost at spawning decreased sporophore (i.e. mushroom) production and increased B concentrations in the sporophore. Boron added at 35 mg/kg of fresh compost gave a 10% yield reduction and this was associated with a sphorophore tissue B concentration of 170 mg/kg dry weight. Addition of Cu to the compost had no effect on the final yield of mushrooms but increased Cu concentrations in the sporophores. Boron added at 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg and Cu at 10 mg/kg of fresh compost stimulated sporophore growth at first flush but this was not evident in total mushroom yield from all flushes. There was a significant negative linear effect of mushroom tissue B (r2=0.98) and Cu (r2=0.54) at harvest 1 (day 1) on the change in tissue B or Cu from harvest 1 to 6 (day 17). This suggested that tissue B was buffered around 7 mg/kg and Cu around 73 mg/kg. The results indicate that the levels of B and Cu which are normally contributed to mushroom compost from poultry litter are unlikely to cause significant losses in mushroom production.

Abstract:

Agaricus subrufescens, known as Sun Mushroom, is a high-value mushroom because of its medicinal properties, used as nutraceutical food to stimulate the immune system and to prevent some diseases, including cancer. Mushrooms are generally characterized by their great ability to bioaccumulate heavy metals and other toxic substances from the mushroom compost. Sugarcane bagasse is a common raw material used in mushroom compost production for Agaricus subrufescenscultivation, whereas insecticides, such as fipronil, can be applied to combat several pests in sugarcane crops. For this reason, we aimed to assess mushroom yield and fipronil bioaccumulation in Sun Mushroom, regarding different concentrations added to the mushroom compost (0, 8, 16 and 32 mg kg-1) and casing layer (0, 2, 4 and 8 mg kg-1). Each experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with four replicates. Regression analysis from mushroom production data was applied using SISVAR 5.1 program. Fipronil was quantified using gas-liquid chromatography (HP 6890) with thermionic detector (NPD). Mushroom yield was affected when fipronil was added, decreasing from 12% (compost with 0 mg kg-1 of fipronil) to 4.8% (compost with 32 mg kg-1). However, bioaccumulation was not detected. In contrast, insecticide bioaccumulation was detected when adding fipronil to casing layer, increasing from <0.01 mg kg-1 (casing layer with 2 mg kg-1) to 0.26 mg kg-1 (casing layer with 8 mg kg-1), however, mushroom yield was not affected.

Abstract:

SummarySubstrates for mushroom cultivation were prepared, following a 2 day mixing and blending process, in bulk tunnels under a controlled temperature regime using forced ventilation. The temperature regime was based on a conventional bulk tunnel composting process, i.e. pasteurization at 60 °C for 6 h, followed by a conditioning phase at 47 °C until the substrate was clear of ammonia. With the exception of ammonia, which increased with increasing compost nitrogen content, this process did not result in strong odours. The substrates were ready for inoculation with mushroom ‘spawn’ 7–12 days after the initial mixing of the compost ingredients. Increasing the compost nitrogen content from 1·1 to 2·5% of the dry matter by increasing the quantity of deep litter poultry manure added to straw in the ingredients resulted in a greater subsequent yield of mushrooms. Further increases in the substrate nitrogen content resulted in prolonged tunnel processing times, substrate desiccation, incomplete clearance of ammonia from the substrate and subsequently low or no mushroom yields. Substrate bulk density at the time of spawning decreased with increasing nitrogen content, but was increased by chopping the straw ingredient. Mushroom yields from composts prepared with barley straw were significantly lower than those from wheat straw composts, at equivalent nitrogen contents. Supplementation of prepared substrates with the proprietary protein-rich ingredient, Betamyl 1000, increased yields by 13·6%.

OSIS and Production Unit SMKS IT Marinah Al-Hidayah Medan are two elements that work together in the development of SMKS IT Marinah Al-Hidayah Medan. Production Unit which is media for students to develop creativity, interests and talents as well as place students to add experience and income with entrepreneurship. The activities to be carried out are the cultivation of oyster mushrooms, the utilization of mushrooms baglog waste and agricultural waste as compost raw material for use as a medium in vertical agricultural systems. However, the problem faced is the difficulty of supplying good quality oyster mushroom independently and also limited information about the technical culture of oyster mushroom cultivation, baglog waste handling and agricultural waste and utilization of school land for vegetable cultivation by vertikultur method. To help overcome these problems, the community service team of the Faculty of Agriculture USU through the Garden School Program conducts training on producing good quality oyster mushroom seeds by introducing mushroom seed making tools, press baglog and 20 m2 of growing room. Wastes baglog mushrooms and agricultural waste from around the school environment then processed into compost using compost machine. The resulting compost is used as a medium for planting organic vegetables using vertikulture cultivation system. Students are also trained to process a variety of food products made from oyster mushroom so that the shelf life, nutritional content and economic value of oyster mushrooms can be increased so it can be marketed to train to increase self-reliance with entrepreneurship.

Abstract:

Abstract Purpose The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of compost formulation made from agricultural by-products and thermal treatment of fresh mushrooms on the postharvest quality parameters. Methods Quail manure was evaluated as an alternative ingredient to the broadly used chicken manure for compost preparation. In addition, the treatment of fresh mushrooms by hot water to extend shelf-life was tested. Quality parameters including color (browning due to microbial activity), cap opening and the weight loss (senescence) were evaluated. Results The nature of the manure employed as base material in the substrate can affect the postharvest browning ratio of mushroom. However, no significant differences in Δb value, weight loss or cap opening were noticed between two different substrates during storage of harvested mushrooms. The cap opening ratio was further retarded while applying thermal treatment to the mushrooms at 55 °C. Conclusions The use of chicken manure as base material to prepare mushroom substrate reduces mushroom browning during storage compared to quail manure, although mushrooms from quail compost are whiter at picking. Postharvest treatment at 45 °C for 4 min was the best to minimize the weight loss.

Abstract:

Indonesia is the biggest producer of palm oil in the world. Palm oil empty fruit bunches is the biggest waste generated by the palm oil processing industry. However, utilization of the palm oil empty bunches has been not optimal. The palm oil empty fruit bunches have potential to be developed into a medium for growing mushroom because it has a high cellulose content. However, the high content of cellulose and lignin in palm oil empty fruit bunches is difficult to decompose into organic material that need for mushroom growth. The composting processes of empty fruit bunches can be increased by using Effective Microorganism (EM4). This study aims to understanding the role of Effective Microorganism 4 (EM4) on Volvariella volvaceae cultivation processes that used Empty Fruit Bunches compost. This research was conducted by composted the empty fruit bunch with different concentration of EM-4 there are 0%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. Parameters observed were number of mushrooms, weight of mushrooms and C / N ratio of compost. The results showed that EM-4 had reduce C/N ratio of empty bunch palm oil compost, C/N ratio was not affected mushroom production and EM4 was affected mushroom production, the highest production reached by concentration of 15% that had not significant with concentration of 5%, 10% and 20%. At concentration of 25% mushroom production was decreased. It is probably there are several mechanisms by EM4 microorganisms containing that affected mushrooms production.

Abstract:

Spent mushroom compost (SMC) is an agricultural waste disposed of in an unsustainable and environmentally degrading manner - mainly in landfills. For every 1 kg of mushrooms grown, approximately 5 kg of SMC is produced, where current generation in the UK is 200,000 tJa. Coal tailings, an industrial by-product from coal mining, are also discarded untenably in lagoons; removing these deposits will eliminate the associated environmental hazards. This project aimed to combine these waste materials into a suitable 'green' fuel for industry through thermal treatment, to produce energy from a sustainable source. Not only will this alleviate the issues regarding existing waste management strategies, but will also attempt to mitigate the environmental impacts of energy generation from nonrenewable sources, such as anthropogenic climate change, through the generation of renewable energy. This PhD research has shown that both materials had high moisture contents, which negatively impacted the calorific value (CV). Drying, though expensive, would thus be required prior to pelletisation and thermal treatment. Key pelletisation parameters were identified and manipulated to control product quality. Optimal values were experimentally-determined for pellet composition (50:50 wt% SMC:coal tailing ratio), moisture (10.5 %) and pressure (6000 psi/41 MPa); such pellets had a NCV of 16.11 MJ/kg. As these pellets were still friable, additional studies were carried out to further improve pellet quality, in tenns of density, tensile strength and durability. Elevated temperatures and steam were considered, in addition to the use of starch and caustic soda binders, which were all successful to varying degrees. Combustion, gasification and pyrolysis tests compared the raw SMC to SMC-coal tailing pellets, where pellet combustion performed better than the SMC alone, and fluidised-bed combustion was more efficient than the packed-bed. Although pyrolysis worked well, the CV of the fuel products were low, whereas gasification was unsuccessful. Consequently, in-depth studies into pellet combustion in a laboratory scale fluidised-bed were perfonned, examining: (i) combustionl fluidisation air flowrates (4.9-10.7 kg/hr); (ii) fuel pellet feedrates (2.02-4.58 kg/hr); and (iii) sand bed depths (0.22-0.30 m). The impacts on temperatures, combustion efficiency and gas concentrations, including acid gas species were analysed. The most favourable operating conditions resulted in high temperatures for efficient energy recovery, with minimal pollutants, although the addition of secondary air jets could further improve the already high combustion efficiencies. While gaseous pollutants are unlikely to be an issue, as the emissions produced generally conformed to the Waste Incineration Directive, efficient particulate collection will be required to remove flyash from the gas stream prior to release to the atmosphere. Industrial implications were explored for heat and power generation, where mass and energy balances for a theoretical furnace, boiler and turbine set-up were completed for various fuel throughputs. Excess heat from the process could be utilized to dry the initial materials, but the economic analysis showed this would be costly - totalling 7) of overall pelletisation expenses. Assuming an overall process efficiency of 18.6 %, a steam turbine could generate over 10 MWe, based on an SMC-coal tailing pellet feedrate of 400,000 tJa - to simulate a large, centralised energy-from-waste facility. FLUENT, a mathematical model, was able to effectively replicate the results of the experimentation and was then used to model particle elutriation and entrainment to assess the suitability of the transport disengagement height provided.

Abstract:

In this research spent mushroom compost ash (SMCA), the incinerated product of spent mushroom compost (SMC), was investigated for use in Portland cement (PC) based materials. Characterisation studies found that SMCA contained, among other things, calcium and alkali sulphates. The sulphate content within SMCA was utilised in this investigation as: (A) a set retarder, replacing calcium sulphate in PC and (B) a sulphate activator of pulverised fuel ash (PF A) in PF AlPC blends. Results demonstrated that SMCA was effective at both retarding set in PC and chemically activating PF A in PF AlPC blends. Moreover, in both applications, mineralogical changes and compressive strength results during the fIrst 24 hours of hydration indicated that the presence of SMCA in PC accelerated the early hydration and strength development (lday) compared to PC without SMCA. However, the long-term strength (at 90 days) was detrimentally affected when SMCA was present within either PC or PCfPF A blends. Although the usefulness of SMCA in cement based materials has been demonstrated other factors, such as the presence of alkalis and chlorides in the pore solution, may limit its use and as a result further investigation is required.

Abstract:

This study aimed at seeking for the solution to recover the energy from agriculture waste in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The spent mushroom compost - a residue from the mushroom growing - was chosen for co-digestion with pig manure in anaerobic batch and semi-continuous experiments. The results showed that in case of spent mushroom compost made up 75% of the mixed substrate, the gained biogas volume was not significantly different compared to the treatment fed solely with 100% pig manure. The average produced biogas was 4.1 L×day-1 in the experimental conditions. The semi-continuous experiments remained in good operation up to the 90th day of the fermentation without any special agitating method application. The methane contents in both experiments were around 60%, which was significantly suitable for energy purposes. These results confirm that spent mushroom compost is possibly an acceptable material for energy recovery in the anaerobic fermentation process

Abstract:

Overuse of the chemical compounds and toxic elements leads to problems and transmission of contaminants and pollutants to humans and other living organisms. One of the industries’ byproducts of the agriculture sector is production of various composts from the organic raw materials that the best type of which is so – called Vermicompost. In this study, effects of raw materials on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of Vermicompost are discussed. To do so, sheep manure, pomegranate peels, spent mushroom compost either singly or double, triple or fourfold chopped corn, sugar beet pulp and sawdust were used. This research project was conducted in a completely randomized design experiment with 23 treatments with 3 replications. Results revealed that various bed combinations exert different effects on Vermicompost quality such that, the Vermicomposting process led to a significant decrease in electrical conductivity (EC) and a significant increase in pH in most of the culture (seed) beds. Also, the levels of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium in most treatments increased following completion of the vermicomposting process. As a result, this process can be introduced as an organic fertilizer with complete nutrients for improving chemical characteristics of agricultural wastes to usable fertilizers.

Abstract:

AbstractExpanded polystyrene foams are a petroleum-origin material that is usually used in some applications such as motorcyclist helmets. Despite it notably mechanical properties, it low density and its capability to absorb energy during an impact, it is necessary to find a renewable-origin substitute material. Thus, it has been studied the use of a sawdust and mycelium composite material under quasi-static and dynamic efforts. Sawdust is a waste material that has very small grains that are totally disaggregated so it has very low material properties. The use of oyster mushroom mycelium generates an internal structure that joins grains and, consequently, the resultant material has notably high mechanical properties. Then it has been compared the resultant properties (stress-strain curve, absorbed energy, decelerations, etc.) with the different densities EPS ones and it has been concluded that this composite material, despite it high density, it could be a suitable substitute material and in some cases it has better properties.

Abstract:

The commercial production of mushrooms generates a co-product, a virtually inexhaustible supply of spent mushroom substrate (SMS). It represents an ideal growth medium for plants and plant disease suppressive quality. Here we discussed about the contaminated microbial flora of SMS, potential antifungal and plant growth promoting activities, the results of these findings were also discussed in relation to the usage of SMS as a potential product for organic farming. SMS contained moisture content 72%, EC 1.75 mmho.cm−1 and had pH of 6.1. The cellulose and hemicellulose content of paddy straw substrate were 30.25%, 23.18% and 15.31% dry weight respectively. Growth in terms of root and shoot weight of the seedlings of green gram, black gram, tomato and chili were significantly higher when grown in 60% SMS amended soil. Spent mushroom compost from Pleurotus eous used in this study harbored bacterial population including, Bacillus sp., Clostridium sp., Pseudomonas sp. and E. coli. Bacterial isolate B1 was identified as Bacillus sp., isolate B2 was identified as Clostridium sp., isolate B3 as Pseudomonas sp. and B4 as Escherichia coli. These bacterial strains showed significant antagonistic activity against soil borne pathogenic fungi viz., Fusarium sp., Alternaria sp., Phytophthora sp. and Aspergillus sp.

Abstract:

The mushroom body (MB) in the insect brain is composed of a large number of densely packed neurons called Kenyon cells (KCs) (Drosophila, 2200; honeybee, 170,000). In most insect species, the MB consists of two caplike dorsal structures, the calyces, which contain the dendrites of KCs, and two to four lobes formed by collaterals of branching KC axons. Although the MB receives input and provides output throughout its whole structure, the neuropil part of the calyx receives predominantly multimodal input from sensory projection neurons (PNs) of second or a higher order, and the lobes send output neurons to many other parts of the brain, including recurrent neurons to the MB calyx. Widely branching, supposedly modulatory neurons (serotonergic, octopaminergic) innervate the MB at all levels (calyx, peduncle, and lobes), including the somata of KCs in the calyx (dopamine).

Abstract:

‘Fungal mutualisms’ considers symbiotic relationships in which the fungus and its partner benefit from their biological interaction. Examples of mutualisms with insects include fungi that trap scale insects, fungi cultivated by ambrosia beetles, and leaf-cutter ants and termites that grow mushroom gardens. These highly developed relationships involve substantial structural, biochemical, and behavioural adaptations in the fungi and insects. Fungi in mycorrhizal associations with plants operate as accessory root systems for plants, whereas fungi called endophytes house themselves inside plant tissues without any connection to an external mycelium. Lichens—composite organisms produced by a fungus and a single-celled alga or cyanobacterium—are the best-known mutualisms involving fungi.

Abstract:

This paper presents an experimental investigation to study the thermal and material characterization of an array of composite copper-carbon nanotubes (CNT) micropillars for applications in passive two-phase cooling systems. These novel micropillar structures have a larger spacing at the base of the micropillars to provide a higher liquid permeability and mushroom-like structures on the top surface of the micropillars with a smaller spacing to provide a greater capillary pressure. First, composite copper-CNT micropillars are fabricated by an electrodeposition method on a patterned copper template. Then, cauliflower-like nanostructures are grown on the top surface of the micropillars using chronoamperometry technique to improve the capillary pressure and thermal performance of the micropillars. Finally, a series of tests are conducted to quantify the thermal performance of the fabricated micropillars. The results indicate that the performance of mushroom-like composite copper-CNT micropillars is significantly higher than those of copper micropillar arrays.
