Mushroom production converts the raw natural ingredients into mushroom tissue, most notably the carbohydrate chitin. [1] An ideal substrate will contain enough nitrogen and carbohydrate for rapid mushroom growth. Common bulk substrates include several of the following ingredients: [11] [13] Wood chips or sawdust
Tissue culture is an important tool for the study of the biology of cells from multicellular organisms. It provides an in vitro model of the tissue in a well defined environment which can be easily manipulated and analysed. In animal tissue culture, cells may be grown as two-dimensional monolayers (conventional culture) or within fibrous ...
The mushroom tissue turns purple when a drop of 3% potassium hydroxide (KOH) is applied. In mass, the spores are a reddish-brown or deep mahogany colour. [4] The edibility of the fruit body is unknown. [6] Scanning electron micrograph of the hymenium showing the warty spores with the prominent germ pore. Scale bar = 10 μm
The rehydrated mushroom can also be stuffed and cooked. [53] Phallus indusiatus has been cultivated on a commercial scale in China since 1979. [49] In the Fujian Province of China—known for a thriving mushroom industry that cultivates 45 species of edible fungi—P. indusiatus is produced in the counties of Fuan, Jianou, and Ningde. [54]
Smith reports the mushroom tissue to have no distinctive taste or odor, [13] while Aronsen says the odor is "very conspicuous; sweet, fruity, often experienced as farinaceous or faintly of anise". [14] Like many small Mycena species, the edibility of the mushroom is unknown, as it is too insubstantial to consider collecting for the table. [16]
In the broad sense, it is the inner, fleshy portion of a mushroom's basidiocarp, or fruit body. It is distinct from the outer layer of tissue, known as the pileipellis or cuticle, and from the spore-bearing tissue layer known as the hymenium. In essence, the trama is the tissue that is commonly referred to as the "flesh" of mushrooms and ...

The milk, or latex, that oozes when the mushroom tissue is cut or broken (a feature common to all members of the genus Lactarius) is also indigo blue, but slowly turns green upon exposure to air. The cap has a diameter of 4–15 cm (2–6 in), and the stem is 2–8 cm ( 3 ⁄ 4 – 3 + 1 ⁄ 8 in) tall and 1–2.5 cm ( 3 ⁄ 8 –1 in) thick.
