Abstract Fungi of the genus Trichoderma are a very large group microorganisms that play significant role in environment. They use variety mechanisms to colonise various ecological niches. Several spp. positively affect plants by stimulating plant growth, and protecting from fungal bacterial pathogens. used biological protection as biofungicides well bioremediation. Members also utilised industry branches – mainly production enzymes, antibiotics, other metabolites, but biofuel. Moreover,...

In the present study, we reinvestigate diversity of Trichoderma in Poland utilizing a combination morphological and molecular/phylogenetic methods. A total 170 isolates were collected from six different substrata at 49 sites Poland. These divided among 14 taxa as follows: 110 identified to species level by analysis their ITS1, ITS2 rDNA sequences as: T. harzianum (43 isolates), aggressivum (35), citrinoviride (11), hamatum (9), virens (6), longibrachiatum (4), polysporum (1), tomentosum (1);...

Abstract There are about 40 species in the Pleurotus genus, including those with high economic significance, i.e. P. ostreatus and pulmonarius . The fruiting bodies of oyster mushrooms nutritional health-promoting value. In addition, many belonging to genus have been used as sources substances documented medicinal properties, such high-molecular weight bioactive compounds (polysaccharides, peptides proteins) low-molecular (terpenoids, fatty acid esters polyphenols). contained mycelium...

There is an ongoing interest in the production of mushrooms as food, and with their consumption on rise, there a need to establish different safety measures. In present study, six mushroom species (Agrocybe cylindracea, Clitocybe maxima, Flammulina velutipes, Ganoderma lucidum, Lentinula edodes Pleurotus eryngii) were cultivated two commonly used substrates (A—based alder beech sawdust; B—based oak sawdust flax shives). The aims determine growth accumulation 70 elements fruiting bodies, 33...

Quantitative determination of polysaccharides in <em>Ganoderma lucidum </em>fruit bodies from different sawdust cultivation substrates and their antibacterial activity was done. Thirty six samples were analyzed. Four strains </em>(GL01, GL02, GL03 GL04) cultivated on the growth three types: birch (Bo), maple (Kl) or alder (Ol) amended with wheat bran concentrations: 10, 20 30% (w/w). Even though richest GL01 strain, highest yields determined GL04Kl3 sample 112.82 mg/g dry...

The aim of this work was to compare 10 mostly edible aboveground and wood-growing mushroom species collected near a heavily trafficked road (approximately 28,000 vehicles per 24 h) in Poland with regard their capacity accumulate 26 trace elements (Ag, Al, As, Au, B, Ba, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, In, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb, Re, Sb, Se, Sr, Te, Tl, Zn) fruit bodies order illustrate diversity element accumulation. All analyses were performed using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission...

The aim of this study was to evaluate Cd, Co, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn accumulation in six edible mushroom species assess their risk benefits human consumers. Mushrooms (Leccinium aurantiacum, Xerocomus badius, Lactarius deliciosus, Boletus edulis, Cantharellus cibarius Suillus luteus) were collected from selected regions Poland during 1990-2010. highest diversity between studied observed terms Cu accumulation. Significant differences the efficiency found among examined. most efficient...

The aim of the study was to (i) investigate potential edible mushroom Boletus badius (Fr.) Fr. accumulate 53 elements from unpolluted acidic sandy soil and polluted alkaline flotation tailing sites in Poland, (ii) estimate low-molecular-weight organic acid (LMWOA) profile contents fruit bodies, finally (iii) explore possible relationship between LMWOA content mushrooms. most fruiting bodies collected tailings significantly higher than mushrooms soils. occurrence determined B. has been varied...

The aim of the study was to analyse levels 17 trace elements and 5 major minerals in 11 Boletus badius fruiting bodies able grow extremely polluted waste (flotation tailings) soil southern Poland. presented data widen limited literature about abilities wild-growing mushroom species on heavily contaminated substrates. Content waste, mushrooms analysed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) cold vapour (CVAAS - Hg). industrial areas differed greatly as regards content flotation...

<em>Hericium erinaceum</em> (Bull.: Fr.) Pers. is an edible fungus of great significance in medicine. It rarely found Europe, contrast, it common Japan and North America. Its fruitbodies have been well-known for hundreds years traditional Chinese medicine cuisine. A cradle <em>H. cultivation Asia. In Eastern Europe rare natural habitats, but can be successfully cultivated. Both mycelia are rich active, health promoting substances. Tests substances extracted from this...

The present study includes the molecular characteristics of Trichoderma pleurotum and pleuroticola isolates collected from green moulded cereal straw substrates at 47 oyster mushroom farms in Poland. screening 80 was performed by morphological observation using multiplex PCR assay. This approach enabled specific detection strains T. 2 pleuroticola. Initial identifications were confirmed sequencing fragment internal transcribed spacer regions 1 (ITS1 ITS2) rRNA gene cluster including fourth...

The contents of 16 minerals and trace elements (Ag, As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Pt, Ti Zn) were analyzed in edible mushrooms (Leccinum scabrum, Boletus edulis badius) collected southwest Poland. Content Ni Pb was similar all tested mushroom species, while content Ag, Hg significantly higher B. than L. scabrum badius. largest differences between these species observed for Fe Zn accumulation. highest noted badius bodies (202 ± 88 137 24 mg kg−1 dry matter, respectively),...

The aim of this study was to determine the elemental composition, phenolic content and composition antioxidant properties Imleria badia (Fr.) Vizzini (former names Boletus badius Fr., Xerocomus E.-J. Gilbert) fruiting bodies collected from sites with different levels pollution. relatively tolerant soil contamination toxic elements able grow in As, Cd, Hg Pb concentrations exceeding 15, 2.9, 0.4 77 mg kg−1, respectively. concentration reflected element I. badia. polluted exhibited...
