- Edible mushroom cultivation at the Institute of Ecology In Mexico G. Mata D. Salmones Biología products Pleurotus Lentinula Volvariella Latin America Research work on mushroom cultivation at the Institute of Ecology (INECOL) beganin 1989 cultivating Pleurotus spp. At present, these studies have been extended to othergenera including Lentinula and Volvariella. Different agricultural and forest byproductshave been evaluated as substrates for commercial cultivation. More than onehundred strains of Pleurotus have been studied in order to select germplasm suited forcommercial production. Hybrids obtained by crossing selected monokaryons give yieldsgreater than the parents in reduced culture cycles. Some strains of Lentinula edodeshave been cultivated on pasteurized non-conventional substrates, such as coffee pulp,sugar cane bagasse, and wheat straw, showing good adaptation to this process. Thestrain collection (INECOL) has over 300 strains of edible mushrooms, and nearly 100strains of phytopathogenic fungi. More than 60% of them come from wild Mexicanspecimens, mainly isolated from tropical and subtropical regions. Training courses andworkshops have been carried out in order to share practical experience, and to offertechnical support and basic services to growers from Mexico and other countries ofLatin America. Recently, some aspects of enzyme production and physiologicaladaptation have been investigated in Pleurotus and Lentinula. The antagonisticrelations between mushrooms and other fungi (mainly Trichoderma spp.) are alsoimportant topics. Strain selection for greater yields, physiological adaptation todifferent substrates, disease resistance, spawn improvement, and germplasmconservation are basic lines for future research. 2003 artículo científico 1534-2581 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=68515104 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=685 Micología Aplicada International application/pdf Colegio de Postgraduados Micología Aplicada International (México) Num.1 Vol.15
