Lentinus edodes may be expected to produce fuel
People are familiar with the delicious taste of mushrooms, but a new study in the United States may give this edible fungus a new mission-one day, mushrooms may gradually move away from people's tables and kitchens, and throw themselves into people's car gas tanks.
It is reported that this delicious mushroom usually grows on fallen trees in the forest. It breaks down the complex organic matter in wood into sugars and uses them as nutrients to sustain its growth. Currently, the USDA Agricultural Research Service and a number of scientists are working to investigate whether this property of mushrooms can contribute to the production of fuel.
Researchers have discovered and replicated the mushroom Xyn 11A gene. It is the Xyn 11A gene that confers the ability of Lentinus edodes to produce xylanases, which can decompose complex organic matter (such as lignin, cellulose, etc.) in wood into glucose and amino acids. After the researchers isolated the gene, they began studying whether it could be used to produce large amounts of xylanases, which are used to break down rice husks or other agricultural residues into sugars that can be used to make ethanol or other types of fuels.
Scientists are now experimenting with transferring the gene into yeast. Moreover, they have produced xylanases in yeast. Next, they would modify the gene so that the yeast could produce more xylanases in less time.

Rapid bud induction of Lentinus edodes
The method of water injection or bubble bag budding in bag cultivation of Lentinus edodes will make the water content in the stick too high and affect the yield, quality and benefit. In this paper, a method of rapid bud induction is introduced. 1. Four iron nails 8 cm ~ 10 cm long were used to pierce the hole, which were nailed on a board with a thickness of 1.5 cm, a length of 45 cm and a width suitable for hand-holding. The "nail row" was used to pierce 8 eyes on the bacterial stick. two。 Soak the pierced stick into a soaking pool or vat to prevent the stick from floating. After that, soak the bacteria stick with 0.3% urea solution. The fungus that overflows the tide mushroom.

Scientific processing method of Lentinus edodes
First, the sun drying method: the sun is the most convenient and easy to do, the method is: the Lentinus edodes harvested in time spread on the sunny grain drying field or cement floor. When drying, first put the mushroom cover up, the mushroom handle down, one by one, after the sun until half dry, the mushroom stalk up, the mushroom cover down, until more than 90% dry. In case of rainy days, use firepower to dry. Second, baking and drying method: Lentinus edodes should be packed in a small basket after harvest, not too much, so as to avoid extrusion, and should be baked on the same day. The general practice is to put the harvested shiitake mushrooms on a roasting sieve.
