Synthesis and structural characteristics analysis of melanin pigments induced by blue light in .

, a highly sought-after edible mushroom worldwide, is evaluated based on its cap color as an essential commercial property indicator. In the present study, the effects of blue light on cap pigmentation in , as well as the synthesis and structural characteristics of melanin pigments within the cap were examined. The results showed that an increase in the proportion of blue light within the lighting environment promoted melanin synthesis and melanization of the cap.

Mechanism Underlying Light Intensity-Induced Melanin Synthesis of Revealed by Transcriptome Analysis.

is a traditional edible and medicinal mushroom, which is widely used in biochemical research and is regarded as a good dietary supplement. The color of the ear-like fruiting body is an important indicator of its commercial quality. However, the mechanism by which light intensity influences the melanin synthesis of remains unclear.

Transcriptome Analysis Revealed the Mechanism of Inhibition of Saprophytic Growth of by Excessive Oxalic Acid.

, a highly valued edible fungus, is a crucial medicinal and food resource owing to its rich active ingredients and pharmacological effects. Excessive oxalic acid secreted on a pine-sawdust-dominated substrate inhibits its mycelial growth, and severely restricts the wider development of its cultivation. However, the mechanism underlying the relationship between oxalic acid and slow mycelial growth remains unclear.
