About
Pleurotus eryngii, conocido comúnmente como el Hongo Ostra Rey, es un hongo comestible muy apreciado por su tamaño, textura y sabor excepcionales. Nativo de las regiones mediterráneas de Europa, el Medio Oriente y el norte de África, y también encontrado en partes de Asia, este hongo ha ganado popularidad en todo el mundo debido a su versatilidad culinaria y su sustancial perfil nutricional. Los Hongos Ostra Rey se distinguen por sus gruesos y carnosos tallos blancos y sus relativamente pequeños sombreros color beige, a diferencia de otros hongos ostra que suelen tener sombreros más grandes y tallos más pequeños. Su robusta estructura les permite mantener la textura y el sabor al cocinarlos, lo que los convierte en un ingrediente favorito en una variedad de platos. Pueden ser salteados, a la parrilla, asados o salteados en wok, y a menudo se utilizan como sustituto de la carne en recetas vegetarianas y veganas debido a su consistencia sustanciosa y sabor umami.

Species: Omphalotus olearius
Edibility: ligeramente tóxico
Key Differences: El hongo Jack O'Lantern tiene un color naranja brillante, en comparación con el color blanco a beige del hongo King Oyster. Además, las branquias del hongo Jack O'Lantern son bioluminiscentes y pueden brillar en la oscuridad, una característica que no está presente en el hongo King Oyster. Es crucial señalar que, mientras que el hongo King Oyster es comestible y muy apreciado, el hongo Jack O'Lantern es venenoso y puede causar un grave malestar gastrointestinal si se consume.

Pleurotus spp. is one of the most important cultivated mushrooms in the world. The relationship between mycelial growth and production yield of Pleurotus strains collected from southern Viet Nam was determined.Total 10 of both wild and cultivated strains including 6 phoenix and 4 oyster strains were used in this study. The mycelial growth rate was conducted by 4 models such as the acreage of mycelial colonies on potato dextrose agar, the dried weight of mycelia in potato dextrose broth, the area of mycelial colonies on sawdust plates and the depth of mycelial colonies on sawdust testubes. The volume of mycelial colonies was estimated based on the area of mycelial colonies and their depth on sawdust plates.

Pleurotus eryngii produces various functional molecules that mediate physiological functions in humans. Recently, we observed that P. eryngii produces molecules that have antidepressant functions. An ethanol extract of the fruiting body of P. eryngii was obtained, and the extract was purified by XAD-16 resin using an open column system. The ethanol eluate was separated by HPLC, and the fraction with an antidepressant function was identified.

Promotion of mushroom growth by means of biological agents replacing chemicals is an emerging and highly demanded issue in the sector of mushroom cropping. The present study was aimed to search for a novel bacterium potentially able to enhance mushroom growth and yield. A total of 2165 bacterial isolates purified from different samples were scrutinized through various growth-promoting attributes.

Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are very important because they are used in biotechnological applications in different industrial areas. The aim of the study was to determine the best EPS producer Pleurotus sp., to optimize EPS production and to perform partial purification and characterization of the produced EPS.

Mushrooms can be used as a source of cosmeceutical ingredients. Agaricus bisporus and Pleurotus ostreatus ethanolic extracts present important bioactive properties, but with some compounds showing easy oxidation and degradation. In the present work, microencapsulation by atomization/coagulation technique was used to protect the extracts. The obtained microspheres were characterised in terms of morphology, particle size distribution and encapsulation efficiency.
