Abstract
The cultivation period of shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is approximately 120-150 d, which is longer than that of other edible mushrooms. The development of fruiting bodies in shiitake is affected by light exposure. In this study, we investigated the effects of blue light on the production and ergothioneine contents of shiitake mushrooms. Fruiting body production (yield) on the medium irradiated with blue light increased in both cultivars (L808, 555 ± 60 g/3 kg medium; Sanbackhyang, 1090 ± 106 g/3 kg medium). Additionally, blue light increased the ergothioneine contents and antioxidative activities, and the ergothioneine content of L808 (about 2.8 mg/g) was higher than that of Sanbackhyang (about 1.2 mg/g). These results suggest that blue light is effective in shortening the cultivation period and increasing ergothioneine contents during shiitake cultivation.
期刊介绍:
Mycobiology is an international journal devoted to the publication of fundamental and applied investigations on all aspects of mycology and their traditional allies. It is published quarterly and is the official publication of the Korean Society of Mycology. Mycobiology publishes reports of basic research on fungi and fungus-like organisms, including yeasts, filamentous fungi, lichen fungi, oomycetes, moulds, and mushroom. Topics also include molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, metabolism, developmental biology, environmental mycology, evolution, ecology, taxonomy and systematics, genetics/genomics, fungal pathogen and disease control, physiology, and industrial biotechnology using fungi.
