Button mushrooms are widely produced edible basidiomycetes. Commercially, they are cultivated on substrates containing fermented horse manure and chicken feces. Since pharmacologically active substances (PAS) might be introduced into the food chain via animal treatment, their residues may be present in manure used for mushroom growth. Previous studies in plants have demonstrated an uptake of PAS from the agricultural environment. The present study was performed to investigate the presence of PAS in button mushrooms. For analysis, a multi-analyte method for the detection of 21 selected PAS using liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry was developed, successfully validated and applied to commercially available button mushrooms. Traces of chloramphenicol were detected in two of 20 samples. Additionally, in a mushroom cultivation experiment an uptake of ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol and praziquantel was conducted. Throughout the whole experiment, praziquantel was present in quantifiable amounts in mushrooms and in high quantities in soil.

Evidence suggests that the gut microbiome may play a role in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the majority of the studies have focused on gut bacterial communities; none have examined the fungal microbiota (mycobiota) in persons with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS). We examined the gut mycobiota in persons with and without POMS through a cross-sectional examination of the gut mycobiota from 46 participants' stool samples (three groups: 18 POMS, 13 acquired monophasic demyelinating syndromes [monoADS], and 15 unaffected controls).

An efficient modified QuEChERS procedure was established for the simultaneous determination of 37 pesticide residues in fresh and processed edible button mushroom by employing GC/ GC-MS and LC-MS/MS. The effectiveness, reliability and accuracy of the method were assessed through validation parameters such as linearity, LOD, LOQ, precision, accuracy, uncertainty, and matrix effect. The linearity calibration for all the selected pesticides at standard concentrations (0.

Productive cultivation of the button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) relies on the use of selective substrates and effective disease management. In extending our previous work on manipulating the developmental microbiome (devome), this study employs the strategy of substrate passaging to explore its effects on crop outcomes and disease dynamics. Here we subjected the casing substrate to ten cycles of passaging.

Organic foods are among the most susceptible to fraud and mislabeling since the differentiation between organic and conventionally grown food relies on a paper-trail-based system. This study aimed to develop a differentiation model that combines nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), statistical approach (principal component analysis - PCA and partial least square discriminant analysis - PLS-DA), and classification artificial neural network (cANN). The model was tested for hydrophilic and lipophilic extracts of Agaricus bisporus.
