In particular, in some warm area or during summer season, temperatures above 20 °C may emerge as a limiting factor in Hericium spp. cultivation. The aim of this research was to assess the ability some isolates of Hericium spp. (Hericium erinaceus, H. coralloides and H.americanum) to produce fruitbodies at different temperatures (15, 20 and 25 °C). In addition, the effect of different fruiting temperatures on the yield parameters of Hericium spp. and the differences between some nutritional components in fruitbodies grown at different fruiting temperatures were also evaluated. Although some H. erinaceus isolates (He-Denizli, He-Erkel), H. americanum and H. coralloides formed pinheads and fruitbodies at 25 °C, other isolates tested in the study required lower temperatures (15 or 20 °C) for fruiting A noticeable decrease in the ash and protein content of all Hericium spp. isolates grown at 25 °C was verified. However, in general, macro-micro element content, antioxidant activity and phenolic content were not affected by fruiting temperatures. According to the results, some of the Hericium isolates tested in the study exhibited good potential for cultivation at 25 °C. Because of their ability to fruit with high yields under various temperature conditions, these isolates may be promising sources for breeding studies. Moreover, we have demonstrated that fruiting temperature is an important factor on yield parameters, protein and ash contents of Hericium spp.

Seedlings are grown in different growth media. The most commonly used medium in seedling growing is peat. Depletion of peat resources and high peat cost increase interest to cheap and local materials that easily supplied. Therefore, studies on the use of composts prepared from different wastes in seedling cultivation are being carried out. This study was carried out to determine usability of compost prepared from rose oil processing wastes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Şencan 9) seedling cultivation and the most suitable seedling growing medium. With this aim, peat (control) and 6 growing media prepared from the mixtures of the rose oil processing waste compost (RC) with vermicompost (V), soil (S) and peat (P) at the different ratios (100%P, 50%RC+50%P, 25%RC+75%P, 50%RC+25%P+25%V, 50%RC+25%5P+25%S, 50%RC+25%S+25%V and 25%RC+50%P+25%S) were compared.

Different inoculum media containing peat and peat:vermiculite mixtures (1:4, 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10 v:v) were also investigated for vegetative inoculum production. The effects of potato dextrose agar, biotin aneurin folic acid agar, malt extract agar, modified Melin-Norkrans agar and modified M40 culture media on mycelial growth of T. terreum were found not to be significant. The best temperature and pH values for the mycelial growth were 25°C and 4.5–6.0, respectively. All carbon sources except for sucrose having statistically significant effects on mycelium growth gave the best results in terms of mycelial growth. Malt extract, peptone and yeast extract were the most suitable nitrogen source...

For this reason, spent mushroom compost (SMC), conventional seedling production medium (CSM) namely a mixture of decomposed farmyard manure, sand and garden soil at a rate of 2:1:1, commercial peat (P), SMC+CSM, and SMC+P were used in the study. Media temperature, seedling height, stem diameter, root length, mean leaf area per seedling, dry weights of leaf, stem and root, total plant dry weight, leaf, stem and root weight ratios, leaf area ratio, specific leaf area, leaf thickness and net assimilation rate were investigated in the study. Significant differences were found between the seedling production media on the examined parameters.

Among these, 51 species were edible, 67 inedible, 28 edible but not worthwhile or best avoided because of possible confusion with poisonous species, and 12 species were poisonous. The edibility of 11 species was unknown.

In the research, compost properties such as pH, moisture, carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and some mineral contents and C:N ratios were determined at the end of the pastorization process. The highest total mushroom yield was obtained from 2TW:2WS ( 227.26 kg/t compost) compost. It was determined that mushroom yields of composts prepared by tea waste alone and it's mixtures of wheat straw were higher than compost prepared by wheat straw (control). It was found that the effects of composts on average mushroom weight, dry matter and protein content were highly significant.

Ganoderma lucidum was obtained from Company of Agromycel in Denizli. In the study, pH, moisture, N and C contents, and C:N ratios of substrates, and also days to first fruiting, yield and some morphological characters were determined. Substrate mixtures of sawdust (OS) and wood-chip (OWC) of oak at the rate of 80% with 18% wheat brain (WB), 1% sucrose and 1% CaCO3 were used as their controls. The highest mushroom yield was obtained from 90 OWC:10 TW (73.07 g/kg substrate) and 75OS:25TW (21.21 g/kg substrate). It was determined that mushroom yields of the substrates, except for the mixtures of 80:20TW, 85:15TW and 90:10TW prepared by oak sawdust with tea waste, were higher than that in control substrate of 80:18WB.

Edible wild mushrooms have been collected and consumed by the people living in Giresun for hundreds of years. Numerous types of edible wild mushrooms are also sold in the local markets for their taste, flavor and nutritional content. The aim of this study was to determine the edible wild mushrooms sold in Giresun local markets and their consumption patterns. In this study, mushroom samples were collected from the local markets of Giresun province during the 2014-2015 years. The habitats, macroscopic and microscopic properties of the mushroom samples were determined. The mushroom species were identified according to the literature. Morchella spp., Agaricus campestris, Boletus aestivalis, B. edulis, Cantharellus cibarius, Hydnum repandum, Lactarius spp., Laetiporus sulphureus, Lepista saeva, Macrolepiota procera, Marasmius oreades, Pleurotus eryngii, P. ostreatus, Ramaria spp., Sarcodon imbricatus and Sparassis crispa were commonly sold mushrooms in the local markets of Giresun. These species are evaluated for food in different recipes as fresh, frozen or pickled. The species such as Morchella spp., B. edulis, Cantharellus cibarius and Hydnum repandum are exported as fresh, frozen and dried. As a result, edible wild mushrooms have high nutritive value and are important as a food and income source for local people in Giresun province.
