“…While M. nigra was found on many fungus species among five different families [45], M. halterata feeds on few species, and its presence was noted on Pleurotus spp. farms [29,46,47] and on Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach and Agaricus bitorquis (Quél.) Sacc crops [48].…”

Diptera are among the most serious arthropod pests affecting mushroom crops. Phorid flies, especially Megaselia halterata, have traditionally been globally considered as a minor pest, although they are a very important problem on Spanish mushroom farms. The concerns with respect to the phorid fly populations have recently increased, notably jumping from being a minor to major pest in India, UK and the USA, where yield losses ranging between 10 and 40% were reported. This review updates and summarizes the available literature regarding mushroom phorid populations, stressing the natural distribution of phorids and their seasonal distribution, their biology within the growing substrates and the initial sources of infestation on mushroom farms. Moreover, the review also highlights the scarce available tools for their control and the current alternatives to chemical products.

“…This can be achieved either by nitrogen supplementation or by providing a substrate that is protein-rich for its growth or by adjusting the carbonto-nitrogen ratio (C:N ratio) to the optimal range of 20:1 to 80:1. 7,8 The effect of supplementation on the growth profile of the pink oyster mushroom has been studied only with countable supplements so far, such as urea, 9 wheat bran, 10 pulse flour 11 and some organic salts. 12 Exploring economic supplements for augmented yield is necessary to meet the demands of growing mushroom consumption.…”

BackgroundAn attempt has been made to explore the nutritional profile of pink oyster mushrooms that have been grown in various agricultural residues, like sugarcane bagasse, rice straw, coconut coir, sawdust, along with other nutrient supplements such as Defatted mustard and Chickpea powder, for appropriate growth and fruiting body formation in a short span of time. The spawn production was experimented with five different grain varieties. The study became interesting when the observation was a bit different from the traditional practices where the addition of defatted mustard was supplemented and resulted in a positive correlation in reducing the fruiting time, improved yield, and the nutritional profile of Pleurotus djamor.ResultsAn elevated yield of 651.93 g/kg was recorded in the medium where the RS and DM were used in the ratio of 1: 0.01 (Rice straw +1% w/w Defatted mustard) bag, whereas in terms of protein content, a maximum yield of 32.57 ± 0.79 mg/g was observed when SB: DM was in the same ratio (Sugarcane bagasse +1% w/w Defatted mustard) bag.ConclusionTo confer the best outcomes from the screened substrates, a series of experiments were performed by varying the concentration of RS, SB, with 1% w/w DM. It is worth mentioning that the highest protein content of 32.76 ± 0.38 mg/g was obtained along with the total yield of 702.56 ± 2.9 g/kg of mushroom when the ratio of RS: SB was 0.7: 0.3.This article is protected by copyright.
