Production of Vaccine from transgenic Agaricus bisporus in the United States
Researchers in the United States are planning to use genetically modified mushrooms to produce millions of doses of vaccines and other drugs within three months. Professor PeterRomaine from the University of Pennsylvania and his team have patented genetically modified Agaricus bisporus.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Advanced projects Agency awarded Professor PeterRomaine $2.2 million as start-up funding for the project. Homeland Security officials say that if the research project goes well and succeeds, the entire project budget will reach $5.9 million.
"our medium-term goal is to achieve efficient expression of biopharmaceuticals in mushrooms, and then extract and purify these drugs from mushrooms in an efficient and economical way." Romaine said.
Vaccines or drugs will eventually be extracted from mushrooms and transformed into forms that can be used by humans. In the third year after the launch of the project, the researchers hope to demonstrate its large-scale commercial production capacity to produce millions of vaccines or other drugs on a mushroom platform over a period of 12 weeks.

Prevention and treatment of mushroom "freak"
Deformed mushrooms are prone to deformed mushrooms when the ventilation is poor and the carbon dioxide content in the mushroom exceeds 0.3%. The mushroom part is too deep, and the mushrooms that grow between the cracks in the coarse soil are often deformed. Preventive measures, we should focus on the ventilation of mushroom rooms. Pleurotus ostreatus culture material into the mushroom room humidity is too high, coarse soil water transfer mushroom room ventilation is too long, covering fine soil too late, low temperature, easy to produce Pleurotus ostreatus. Preventive measures should be mastered to spray appropriate amount of water, timely ventilation, so that the mycelium hanging above the clay, under the fine soil.

Green Mushroom should develop eight measures to prevent Diseases
Establish the concept of "large-scale prevention" of comprehensive prevention and control. The occurrence or even epidemic or outbreak of edible fungus diseases has its certain law of development, which is scientific and can not tolerate any carelessness. On the surface, the disease only appears in a certain production link, but the occurrence of the disease requires quite a lot of conditions. if a certain condition can not be met, the occurrence of the disease may be reduced, reduced, or even unable to occur. or even if it happens, it can't cause harm. Therefore, the disease should not be prevented or treated only in the occurrence of the disease, but from the source.
