Screening for inhibitors of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, considered to regulate important cellular events and linked to serious diseases as well, led to isolation of a new compound, panepophenanthrin, from the fermented broth of a mushroom strain, Panus rudis Fr. IFO 8994. This is the first inhibitor of the ubiquitin-activating enzyme, which is indispensable for the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The structure of panepophenanthrin was determined by NMR and X-ray crystallographic analyses as 1,3a,10-trihydroxy-10c-(3-hydroxy-3-methylbut-1-enyl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,2,3,3a,5,5a,8,9,10,10a,10b,10c-dodecahydro-4-oxa-2,3,8,9-diepoxyacephenanthrylen-7-one.

Introduction: China is rich in straw resources. The utilization of straw in the cultivation of edible fungi partially resolves the resource conflicts between mushroom cultivation and forest industry and also contributes to environmental protection.
Methods: In this study, based on the technology of replacing wood by grass, the straw formula for mycelial culture of was optimized with Simplex-lattice method commonly used in mixture design.

This study determined the effects of the mycelium post-ripening time on the growth of Pleurotus geesteranus and the substrate metabolism. The characteristic indexes and timing reflecting the physiological maturity of P. geesteranus mycelium were identified to facilitate precise cultivation in factories.

Gene editing using CRISPR/Cas9 is an innovative tool for developing new mushroom strains, offering a promising alternative to traditional breeding methods that are time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, plasmid-based gene editing presents several challenges, including the need for selecting appropriate promoters for Cas9 expression, optimizing codons for the Cas9 gene, the unintended insertion of fragmented plasmid DNA into genomic DNA (gDNA), and regulatory concerns related to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). To address these issues, we utilized a Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex consisting of Cas9 and gRNA for gene editing to modify the A mating-type gene of .

The mushroom is consumed worldwide and has high industrial value because of its rich content of bioactive compounds such as ergothioneine and eritadenine. Currently, mainstream artificial cultivation methods for this mushroom typically use synthetic logs. However, browning of the stem's interior (stem browning) has been observed during the cultivation in some strains.
