ABSTRACT:
In this paper, the research status of using Pinus massoniana sawdust for the
cultivation of edible fungi was analyzed and discussed. It was found that Pinus
massoniana sawdust contained the material base of edible fungi with sufficient
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin and a small amount of nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium, calcium, magnesium, other mineral salts, and some vitamins
for the growth of edible fungi. However, the Pinus massoniana wood contained
a significant amount of terpenoids, which are detrimental to the
growth of edible fungus and mycelial. The major and current detoxification
methods for Pinus massoniana sawdust were analyzed, such as steaming method,
distillation method, lime water immersion method, outdoor piling fermentation
method, and chemical method. Their advantages and disadvantages
were discussed and reviewed. Finally, the major issues in the application of
Pinus massoniana sawdust as the cultivation substrate of edible fungi were
analyzed, and the application prospect of Pinus massoniana sawdust as the
substrate for the cultivation of edible fungi was also reviewed.
