In India, Button mushroom (Agaricusbisporus)is the most followed Pleurotus(Shah et al., 2013). Mushrooms are mainly subjected to bacterial, fungal and viral diseases. production of fruiting bod...

Research for new improved varieties, with high increase in yields and quality with disease resistance is required today to make mushroom production highly productive.Increasing the yield and quality of crops as well as resistance to diseases are the primary goals for mushroom breeders and mushroom research. Breeders now use DNA molecular markers to identify and select specific genes to locate s...

Green mould disease, caused by Trichoderma species, is a severe problem for mushroom growers worldwide, including Croatia. Trichoderma strains were isolated from green mould-affected Agaricus bisporus (button or common mushroom) compost and Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) substrate samples collected from Croatian mushroom farms. The causal agents of green mould disease in the oyster mushr...

Button mushrooms are considered one of the most sensitive agricultural products due to mechanical damages that can significantly decrease their quality and color. Our study aimed evaluate effect aloe vera gelatin edible coatings containing Shirazi thyme essential oil nanoemulsion on shelf life, enzymatic browning, physicochemical, microbiological, textural, sensorial properties a button mushroo...

The prevalence and mycopathogenic potential of Enterobacteriaceae (especially Ewingella americana) in cultivated mushrooms were studied. A total of 95 samples of Agaricus bisporus, Lentinula edodes and Pleurotus ostreatus were analyzed to quantify the Enterobacteriaceae and to identify the species isolated. The host pathogenicity test was used to verify their mycopathogenic potential. The genus...

The Himalayas, the Western Ghats, and highlands of northeast India are all temperate areas where mushrooms have been successfully grown. Recently, mushroom farming has become a popular kind self-employment for many unemployed people. It is past time that growers consumers in learned about therapeutic dietary benefits both farmed wild kinds mushrooms. majority white button mushrooms, accounting ...

Exotic mushrooms have been used in ancient Chinese medicine due to their immunomodulatory properties for the treatment and/or prevention of chronic diseases. However, only limited data exist on the health benefits of white button mushrooms (WBM), the most common in the American diet. In the current study, we investigated the effects of WBM and shiitake mushrooms (SM) on collagen-induced arthrit...
