Program Interests
My research program is directed toward improving the production efficiency and quality of edible mushrooms to help minimize production costs and maximize farm profits. My research efforts are focused on the species as follows:
Agaricus bisporus (Button mushroom, Portobello, Crimini)
One emphasis of our work on A. bisporus is to develop alternative substrates to eliminate environmental problems such as odor generation and surface and ground water contamination associated with traditional composting. Another area of interest is to identify specific nutrients, such as polypeptides and micronutrients, that are depleted during the production cycle and that limit mushroom yield. Our work is focused on re-supplementing and re-casing 搒pent?mushroom compost for the production of a second crop of mushrooms. We are also cooperating with faculty in the Department of Food Science to improve the nutritional and medicinal qualities of these mushrooms.
Grifola frondosa (Maitake)
We have assembled a large collection of cultures of this species from worldwide sources and are evaluating them for yield potential and quality characteristics. We are also investigating the influence of various micronutrients and supplements on mushroom yield.
Lentinula edodes (Shiitake)
Our work on this species focuses on the development of improved synthetic substrates and utilization of 搒pent?shiitake logs for animal feed. We are investigating alternative materials, such as wheat straw, as a replacement for wood chips in substrate formulae. We also are evaluating the interactive effects of substrate moisture content, log weight and bag filtration porosity on mushroom yield and quality.
Pleurotus spp. (Oyster mushrooms)
Our research efforts on various species of these mushrooms include genetic improvement though selective breeding, based on a better understanding of the genetic life history of the mushroom. Standard methodologies used in these studies include PCR, DNA sequencing, determinations of phylogenic relationships, and assessments of genetic diversity and population structure.
