Effect of Substrate Formulas on Growth & Yield of Two Species of Oyster Mushrooms

https://youtu.be/Xmq-lhUZPAg Transcript While mushrooms grow on all sorts of organic substrates to cultivate them profitable, the substrate must be optimized. Hence, today's research paper investigated different substrate formulas for the two mushrooms Pleurotus florida and Pleurotus sajor caju. The authors used fermented sawdust, added different amounts of rice bran to it, and sterilized the mixture … Continue reading Effect of Substrate Formulas on Growth & Yield of Two Species of Oyster Mushrooms

Influence of High Temperature on the Growth Rate of Agaricus bitorquis

https://youtu.be/I_y718MbjS8 Transcript Agaricus bitorquis is widespread in nature. This species grows at higher temperatures than the strain of Agaricus bisporus. Besides, it is resistant to the virus that causes the dreaded dieback and it is resistant to pressure and bruising. As many mushroom farmers have the problem of cooling down the fruiting rooms during the … Continue reading Influence of High Temperature on the Growth Rate of Agaricus bitorquis

How the C/N ratio affects the Yield

https://youtu.be/3WMssVbzc1g Transcript Mushrooms can decompose various lignocellulosic substrates. As these substrates have different carbon-nitrogen ratios, today’s research paper studies the effect of the carbon-nitrogen ratio on the yield and size of Pleurotus pulmonarius. For the primary substrate, the authors used corncobs, wastepaper, and sawdust. These substrates had the following carbon-nitrogen ratios—120 for wastepaper, 400 for … Continue reading How the C/N ratio affects the Yield
