Two experiments were performed, and the results indicate that the greatest contribution to the variation in beta-glucan content was the strain (35.8%), followed by the casing layer (34.5%), the cultivation environment (15.7%), and the type of compost (9.9%). On the other hand the variation in yield was affected most by the cultivation environment (82.1%), followed by the strain (81.3%), casing layer (49.1%), and compost type (15.2%). These findings underscore the importance of developing a production protocol that employs specific cultivation practices for improving mushroom yield as well as beta-glucan content.41-49engalmond mushroommedicinal potentialstraincompostyieldArtigo10.1021/jf403584gWOS:000329586800005Acesso restrito
