Features: This book systematically elaborates on the basic theories and production techniques of edible fungi. It is divided into two main parts: General Theory and Specific Topics. The General Theory consists of nine chapters, primarily introducing the morphology, life cycle, strain selection, growth and development, nutritional physiology, ecology, classification, disease and pest control, storage and processing, deep fermentation, identification and preservation of edible fungi, as well as basic knowledge of medicinal recipes and mushroom identification. The Specific Topics cover thirteen chapters, focusing on the cultivation theories and production techniques of various edible fungi such as Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Volvariella volvaceae, Flammulina velutipes, Auricularia auricula, Hericium erinaceus, Ganoderma lucidum, Tremella fuciformis, Dictyophora indusiata, Pleurotus tuberosus, Grifola frondosa, and Boletus edulis. This book can serve as a textbook for universities and colleges, a teaching material or reference for secondary vocational schools and training classes, and can also be used as a reference for researchers, producers, and self-learners in the field of edible fungi.
