{Abstract}: The study deals with the cultivation of Pleurotus citrinopileatus on the sludge of handmade paper and cardboard industrial waste. These industrial wastes are rich in cellulosic and lignocellulosic pulp residues which can be used as a novel substrate for the cultivation of mushrooms. These industrial wastes were used alone and in combination with wheat straw for the cultivation of mushroom. To assess suitability of mushroom (carpophores) for consumption, cultivated carpophores analyzed for nutritional content and genotoxicity by standard AOAC methods and Ames test, respectively. A significant decrease in the biological efficiency, protein and fat of the said mushroom (only in the mentioned sludges) was observed, nevertheless, carpophores possessed a high amount of frameshift mutagens and thus being non-consumable. Contrastingly, the carpophores that were developed on the absolute equal combination of industrial sludge and wheat straw were found to possess high biological efficiency, protein, carbohydrate and fat content whereas decrease frameshift mutagens. On boiling the aqueous extract of mushroom, a further decrease in frameshift mutagens was observed. In conclusion, the use of combination of sludge and wheat straw not only increased the biological efficiency but also provided less mutagenic carpophores and mutagenicity of these carpophores further reduced on boiling.

{Abstract}: Macromycetes have been part of the human culture for thousand years, and have been reported as food in the most important civilizations in history. Many nutraceutical properties of macromycetes have been described, such as anti-cancer, anti-tumour, cholesterol lowering, antiviral, antibacterial, or immunomodulatory, among others. Given that production of mushrooms by traditional cultivation and extraction of bioactive metabolites is very difficult in some cases, biotechnology is essential for the development of profitable and productive techniques for obtaining these metabolites. It is the development of this technology, and the ease in which it enables the use of its variables that has allowed mycelium to be cultivated in liquid medium of macrofungi, with a significant reduction in time and an increased production of metabolites. This increased production has led to the study of compounds that have medicinal, nutriceutical and quasi-farmaceutical potential, in the exhausted media and the mycelium. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the use of liquid-state fermentation as a technological tool for obtaining edible fungi, and the study of these and their metabolites, by describing the different cultivation conditions used in recent years, as well as the results obtained. The relevance of Agaricus, Flammulina, Grifola, Pleurotus and Lentinula genera, will also be discussed, with emphasis on the last one, since Shiitake has been always considered as the ultimate medicinal mushroom.

{Abstract}: pH is an impotant factor for good production of Oyster mushroom. Most of the mushrooms grow and perform well at pH near to neutral or light basic. Lime (CaCO3) is an important constituent in mushroom cultivation, commercial cultivation of mushroom depends upon proper adjustment of pH of substrate. Most of the substrates used for the cultivation of mushroom have pH approximately near to neutral i.e., 7 in Pakistan. In this study, Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sp.) was grown on cotton waste with different levels of lime in substrate like 0%, 2%, 4% and 6% of substrate weight at pH 7.2, 7.8, 8.2 and 8.7 respectively, to find out the most suitable pH/level of lime for mycelial growth and fructification of mushroom. Data regarding number of days for mycelial growth, number of days taken for initiation of primordia, number of pinheads, number of days taken to reach at harvesting stage after primordia initiation, number of days taken to reach at harvesting stage, total number of fruiting bodies, yield of mushroom in 1st flush (g), yield of mushroom in 2nd flush (g) and total yield of mushroom (g) was recorded. It was observed that treatment containing 2% lime completed mycelial growth after 18 days of inoculation of spawn, number of days taken for initiation of primordia (3 days), number of days taken to reach at harvesting stage after primordia initiation (3 days), number of pinheads (30.8), time taken to reach picking stage after spawning (25 days), yield of mushroom in 1st flush (41.02g), yield of mushroom in 2nd flush (15.3g) and total yield of mushroom was recorded 56.32g and 9.57g on fresh and dry weight basis, respectively. In conclusion use of 2% lime is good for the production of Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.) using cotton waste as a substrate. The Oyster mushroom grows well and give best yield at pH slightly basic in nature.
