“…This commercial mushroom is a whiterot fungus, which belongs to the family Tricholomataceae (Ma et al, 2010;Saritha et al, 2012) and a diverse group of Basidiomycetes that attack the biologically stable polymer of plants, lignocellulose (Dorado et al, 2001;Jurado et al, 2011;Pandya and Albert, 2014). The ability of white-rot fungi to degrade plants essentially depends on the type and ecology of the fungus involved (Bisen et al, 2010;Tanesaka et al, 2004). Generally, P. ostreatus grows in conditions that would allow for the enzymebased conversion reactions to take place, and such conditions include carbon source, substrate, temperature, light, pH, and humidity (Jurado et al, 2011;Kerem et al, 1992;Patel et al, 2009;Tien and Kirk, 1983).…”
