Biology and Nutritional Contents in the Culinary-Medicinal Milky White Mushroom, Calocybe indica (Agaricomycetes), During Cultivation Involving Casing and Scratching Treatments

The Milky mushroom, Calocybe Indica was cultivated on different agricultural substrate, paddy straw, wheat straw, sugarcane trace and mango dry leaves. The spawning was done by sterilization of all the four substrate. The bags were kept in mushroom growing room with the maintenance of temperature and humidity 30̊ c-35̊ c and 70-80 % respectively. The minimum days requires for completion of spawn run (18.4 days), primordial formation (25.2 days) and days for first harvest (32.4 days) was first observed on cultivation with Paddy straw. The maximum yield on fresh weight basis and biological efficiency (134.86 %) was also found to be as the same treatment with the Paddy straw as a substrate. The biological efficiency of wheat straw was at par with Sugarcane trace as substrate which was 85.07 % and 85.02 % respectively.

Việc nghiên cứu ứng dụng bã thải cà phê làm cơ chất trồng nấm Hoàng đế (Calocybe indica) đã giảm bớt vấn đề ô nhiễm môi trường và mang lại hiệu quả kinh tế cao. Kết quả sau 50 ngày thực nghiệm nuôi trồng nấm ở 15 thùng (40 x 30 x 25cm) với 5 nghiệm thức, mỗi nghiệm thức được bố trí lặp lại 3 lần cho thấy, nấm Hoàng đế sinh trưởng và phát triển tốt ở tất cả các nghiệm thức. Đặc biệt, nấm Hoàng đế hoàn toàn sinh trưởng và phát triển được trên nguồn cơ chất 100% bã thải cà phê có khối lượng nấm (0,337c ± 0,055) thu hoạch tương đương với nghiệm thức 100% mùn cưa (0,347c ± 0,023). Khối lượng nấm trung bình cao nhất là nghiệm thức 75%CP và 25%MC (0,793a ± 0,067) có khác biệt thống kê với các nghiệm thức còn lại. Việc áp dụng quy trình trồng nấm Hoàng đế từ bã thải cà phê sẽ hiệu quả hơn nhiều ở những nơi gần các công ty chế biến cà phê hòa tan bởi tận dụng được nguồn cơ chất sẵn có.

Calocybe Indica

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) was used as a model to study anxiety due to its physiological homology to humans. The pathophysiology of anxiety, even though still unclear, has been extensively studied in Zebrafish. Anxiety was induced by withdrawal after exposure to 0.5% ethanol, which proved to be anxiogenic, validated through the novel tank test. The light/dark test revealed that exposure to 0.5% ethanol had anxiolytic effects. The milky mushroom, Calocybe indica was used to treat anxiety since its anti-hypertensive effects have already been reported. Biochemical parameters such as GABA and MAO (A&B) were measured before and after treatment with different concentrations of C. indica and standard anxiolytic drug, Fluoxetine to compare and confirm the anxiolytic effect. The GABA content was found to be 119.9±1.99 mmoles/g tissue weight after treatment with 50 µg C. indica which was comparable to the normal group values (100±4.12). MAO (A&B) activity decreased which in turn increased serotonin levels with 25µg of C. indica. 25µg and 100µg concentration of the extract of C. indica was found to be optimum in reducing the level of anxiety.
