Potential of Spent Pleurotus ostreatus Mushroom Substrate as Compost

International Journal of Science and Management Studies (IJSMS), 2021
Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) cultivation produces waste in the form of mushroom substrate that has passed the production period and contaminated substrate. Non-productive spent mushroom substrates (SMS) still contain nutrients that allow them to be composted. The main goal of this study is to determine the potential of SMS as compost.

Experimental Factors and Techniques for Pool Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement: A Critical Review

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review presents a comprehensive assessment of active strategies for enhancing pool boiling heat transfer, with a focus on techniques that do not rely solely on the boiling surface modification. It examines a broad range of methodologies including fluid additives, external fields, mechanical interventions, and thermal‐geometric tuning that

Earthworm farming for enhanced protein upcycling from spent mushroom substrate

Journal of Environmental Management
Earthworm farming offers a sustainable method to convert organic residual streams into high-quality edible protein, enhancing nutrient recycling and food systems circularity. This study evaluates the effectiveness of earthworm farming in upcycling protein from maize stover through two pathways: directly feeding earthworms on maize stover or feeding ...

Properties of biochar derived from spent mushroom substrates

BioResources, 2019
Spent mushroom substrates, Tremella fuciformis (Tf), Flammulina velutipes (Fv), and Lentinula edodes (Le), were used to produce biochar at different temperatures (300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C). Elemental compositions and surface properties of derived biochar were determined.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Optimal neuromuscular performance requires motor neuron phosphagen kinases

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Motor neuron (MN) terminals in fruit flies, mice and humans contain phosphagen kinases, a key enzyme in their energy storage and buffering system. Here we knocked down the primary phosphagen kinase in fruit fly larvae (arginine kinase 1 (ArgK1)) but were surprised to find that MN endurance was unaffected.
