Impact of Artemisia argyi and Stevia rebaudiana substrate composition on the nutritional quality, yield and mycelial growth of L. edodes addressing future food challenges.

ABSTRACT: Shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes), the second-largest edible fungus globally, boasts high nutritional value and medicinal benefits. The increasing planting scale has led to a shortage of traditional wood chips. Using agricultural waste as a substitute substrate can solve the resource shortage and environmental problems in China's mushroom production industry. An experimental study on Shiitake mushroom strain 868 explored the effects of various cultivation substrates through stages like spawn production, synthetic log preparation, and incubation to fructification, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for mushroom production. Optimal solid and liquid media for biomass production were identified, with potato sucrose agar (PSA) and potato sucrose broth (PSB) being most conducive. Temperatu
