Submerged Fermentation Culture for Stimulating Mycelium to Synthesize Desired Secondary Metabolites (Erinacines, Polysaccharides, Cordycepin, etc.)
Mycelium or Fruiting Body? Is it a false dichotomy? Where does each one serve its function best? How does one best incorporate one versus the other in a product or even both?
Has anybody tried to design and install an outdoor Reishi patch with inoculated logs and/or sawdust blocks? In Florida? USA?
How can we modify the substrate conditions in order to enhance the production of secondary metabolites in the fruiting body? (Manipulate pH, Precursor-Rich Supplementation, Electro-stimulation, etc.)
What are some sustainable alternatives for supplementing sawdust blocks instead of using soy hulls? Can we shift the mushroom farming industry towards a more sustainable system of supplementation that utilizes nearby resources? (One man's trash is another man's treasure)
Ethanol or Methanol? Which should I use for extracting the hydrophobic active compounds in mushrooms?
How do I purge the ethanol from my mushroom extracts?
How do I turn my mushroom water extracts into powder?
What is winterization? How does winterization help with purifying ethanol/methanol-based mushroom extracts?
Has anybody performed or experimented with alkali method extractions for pulling heavier-weight polysaccharides?
