The cultivated mushroom of commerce in the Western hemisphere, Agaricus bisporus, was given p.o. to randomly bred Swiss mice for 3 days and was followed by semisynthetic diet for 4 days each week for life. The mice were 6 weeks old at the beginning of the experiment. As a result of treatment, tumors were induced in the bone, forestomach, liver, and lungs in the following incidences: 16, 38, 8, ...

Fungi are vital to numerous industrial and household processes, especially producing cheeses, beer, wine, bread, they accountable for breaking down organic matter. The remarkable medicinal nutritional values of the mushrooms have increased their consumption. Agaricus bisporus belongs Agaricaceae family, it is a top-ranked cultivated mushroom that well known its edibility. A. rich in nutrients s...

one of the most important steps of agaricus bisporus production is casing. in this step a layer of soil is added on top of compost. peat is the most suitable casing soil for a. bisporus production. the lack of peat in iran is one of the major problems in a. bisporus production for mushroom producers. it seems that peat can be replaced by spent mushroom compost (smc). in order to study the possi...

White button mushroom or (Agaricus bisporus) is known as a healthy foodstuff with several nutrients, polyphenols, proteins, and dietary fibers. Mushrooms have short shelf-life, approximately three to four days at commercial storage about eight under chilling conditions. In the current study, titanium dioxide nanoparticles chitosan films were used novel active coating materials addition of thymo...

the effect of pre-treatments in combination with hot air, vacuum and hot-a microwave drying methods the progress of the drying process, and textural, and colour and rehydration rate on button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) slices were investigated. in this work, one of the following methods: hot air, vacuum drying or microwave-assisted convective drying and also different pre-drying treatments, v...

The fungus Agaricus bisporus is commercially grown for the production of edible mushrooms. This cultivation occurs on compost, but not all of this substrate is consumed by the fungus. To determine why certain fractions remain unused, carbohydrate degrading enzymes, water-extracted from mushroom-grown compost at different stages of mycelium growth and fruiting body formation, were analyzed for t...

The edible mushrooms (basidomycetes) have high nutritional value, promote the immune system, and as a source of natural antimicrobial substances have been used to cure bacterial infections since ancient times.Various kinds of proteins with several biological activities are produced by mushrooms. In this research, in order to evaluate antibacterial activity of edible mushrooms, we isolated prote...
