Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cultivation of mushrooms is an environmentally friendly biotechnology to recycle organic byproducts from agrobusiness into for with high nutritional quality or bioactive products and compounds having medicinal properties or utility in plant protection. It may contribute to the development of a new agriculture by addressing the challenges of food security and the demand for natural products. Research is required to improve the processes for the cultivated species and to increase the range of the species that will be cultivated in the coming years and the range of raw materials that can be used.
Please share your research in mushroom production and development within the diversity of regional and local conditions and approaches around the world. Submissions on the following topics (but not limited to these) are invited to contribute to this Special Issue. (1) Valorization of the biodiversity and genetic improvement for addressing new properties in cultivated strains; (2) new cultivation substrates using new raw materials and innovative techniques for their production; (3) integrated protection against pests and diseases and biocontrol; (4) new opportunities for the use of the produced mushrooms; (5) up-to-date data on markets and mushroom growers.
