For higher basidiomycetes mushrooms grown (as biomass) in submerged culture

摘要

The present invention describes new and distinct horticultural varieties of higher Basidiomycetes mushrooms grown in submerged culture. Specifically, the new varieties of species of the genus Pleurotus offer superior yields of mushroom cell biomass and greater concentrations of the protein rich in essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
