Cultivation, Preservation and Molecular Regulation of Edible Mushroom

Dear Colleagues,

The edible mushroom industry has witnessed a significant increase in production in recent years due to its close association with the large-scale health industry, the circular economy, and the low-carbon economy. However, simply increasing production volume can no longer meet people's growing needs for nutritional health. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality and efficiency of the edible mushroom industry by optimizing the cultivation mode. This includes driving innovation in the germplasm resources of edible mushrooms, optimizing the substrate in the cultivation process of edible mushrooms, researching preservation technologies for fruiting bodies under pre-harvest and post-harvest interventions, and analyzing the molecular regulatory mechanisms of fruiting bodies before and after harvest using omics technology. This Special Issue aims to collate cutting-edge research papers on improving the nutritional quality of edible mushrooms through the optimization of edible mushroom cultivation techniques, providing advanced technical insights for the production of high-quality edible mushrooms.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Horticulturae is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
