Proximate analysis of Pleurotus florida influenced by magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) in submerged and solid-state cultivation ANJALI KOSRE, SANDEEP SAHU, S. K. JADHAV, NAGENDRA KUMAR CHANDRAWANSHI Research on Crops, 2024 Pleurotus florida is a widely consumed and easily cultivated mushroom, valued for its high nutritional content. This study aimed to enhance its mineral content through substrate fortification, specifically using magnesium sulfate, to create more nutrient-rich food products. Since minerals are crucial for mushroom growth, supplementing substrates can significantly improve both incubation and fructification, addressing the need for higher-quality mushrooms in functional foods and dietary supplements. Therefore, an experiment was conducted at the Mushroom Technology Laboratory, School of Studies in Biotechnology, Pt Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur, India, to examine the effects of Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on P. florida during the rainy season (July–October 2022) in both submerged and solid-state cultivation. Different concentration of MgSO4 (Control, 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, 600 mg/kg, 800 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg) was supplemented to PDA media and paddy straw for cultivation of P.floridamushroom. The study assessed fruiting body production, mycelial biomass yield, protein content, and antioxidant activity. Results showed that MgSO4 significantly increased biomass production (28.67mg/100ml and 89.06g/500g of substrate for T3 for both mycelia and fruiting body), antioxidant activity (88.90 and 96.86% for control), and bioactive content (protein 20.28and 20.72 mg/100g for both mycelia and fruiting body respectively at treatment T4), notably affecting the mushrooms' metabolic profile (p less than 0.05). These findings suggest that mineral-fortified P. florida mushrooms are rich in essential nutrients and have potential as valuable pharmaceutical products.
Evaluation of Bioadsorption Efficiency of the Spent Mushroom Substrate of Calocybe indica for removing Iron from some contaminated Water Samples Jhameshwar Prasad Sahu, D. Koreti, Nagendra Kumar Chandrawanshi Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment, 2024 Heavy metal contamination in drinking water causes serious health issues. The hazards of heavy metals, especially iron contamination affect human health such as skin roughness, the stickiness of hair, weakness of teeth etc. The objective is to study the heavy metals contaminated water remediation process by mushroom cultivated bags. The mushroom cultivation used agro wastes; the cultivated residues were known as spent mushroom substrates. In the present experiment, Calocybe indica spent mushroom substrates to treat heavy metal contamination from drinking water. The iron-contaminated water concentration rapidly decreased from 0.231±0.01 to 0.134±0.00 with maximum exposure periods. The time exposures, or contact time, have increased and removal efficiency has improved along with the incubation time. The study data inferred more heavy metal adsorption than untreated water samples. An initial pH range of 4.0 to 5.0, a contact duration of 10 minutes, an initial iron (III) concentration of 50 mg/L and an absorbed dose half-saturation constant of 0.4 g were used. The current study showed that the increasing pH of the medium enhanced the adsorption capacity of the spent mushroom substrate. Similarly, the time exposures, or contact time, have increased and removal efficiency has grown along with the incubation time. These findings underscore the potential of utilizing spent mushroom substrates as an economical and portable biosorbent for rural water treatment applications.
