Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biology, specifically to a high-polysaccharide strain of Auricularia auricula-judae and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Auricularia delicata (Mont. ex Fr.) Henn., belonging to the phylum Basidiomycota, class Agaricomycetes, order Agaricales, and family Auriculariaceae, is an edible fungus used for both food and medicinal purposes. It is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, South America, and Asia. It is believed to enhance the body's immune function and has preventative and therapeutic effects on coronary heart disease. In Manipur, India, it is used as a traditional medicine to treat gastrointestinal and liver diseases.
[0003] Wrinkled wood ear mushrooms are one of the emerging edible fungi industries in my country, with large-scale production in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Jilin, and other regions. They are a specialty edible fungus in Southwest and Northeast China. Due to their unique mushroom flavor and texture between fleshy and gelatinous, and the reticulated wrinkles on the underside of their fruiting bodies, they offer a multi-layered taste and help retain the flavor compounds of cooked ingredients, making them a highly sought-after premium edible fungus. However, there are relatively few cultivated varieties of wrinkled wood ear mushrooms; all reported varieties are derived from the domestication and systematic breeding of wild germplasm resources. There is a need for wrinkled wood ear mushroom strains with superior nutrition and texture. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
[0028] Example 1: Screening of the *Auricularia auricula-judae* strain of the present invention
[0029] Wild *Auricularia delicata* fruiting bodies collected from Mount Emei in Sichuan Province were isolated from wild material tissue to obtain wild material strains. These strains were then purified through pure culture, and the *Auricularia delicata* strain of this invention was obtained using systematic selection methods. Morphological and ITS sequence analysis confirmed it as *Auricularia delicata* (Fr.) Henn. The basidiospores of this strain are elliptical to oval, with translucent, filamentous hyphae and clamp connections. The colonies are dense and uniform, with brown patches on the agar. Figure 1-2 ).
[0030] The strain was named Adel25 (Auricularia delicata) and was deposited on November 7, 2024, with accession number CCTCC NO:M 20242465. The depository institution is the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), located at Luojia Mountain, Bayi Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province.
[0031] Example 2: Field trial study of the wrinkled auricularia strain of the present invention
[0032] The field experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the experimental base in Shifang City, Sichuan Province, using the wrinkled black fungus Adel25 of this invention for two consecutive years of regional variety trials.
[0033] Potato glucose agar medium (PDA): contains 200g potato, 20g glucose, 20g agar and 1000mL distilled water; take 20mL of medium and put it into a test tube (test tube diameter 20mm×200mm), sterilize at 121℃ for 30min, cool, and you will get a test tube containing PDA solid medium.
[0034] Preparation of wrinkled auricularia mycelial culture: The wrinkled auricularia strain Adel25 of the present invention was placed in a test tube (20mm in diameter × 200mm) containing PDA solid medium and cultured at 25℃ for 15 days to obtain the culture.
[0035] Cultivation bags (200mm×480mm×0.28mm) containing 1000g of cultivation material: The cultivation material, by weight ratio, consists of 330g sawdust, 100g cottonseed hulls, 300g corn cobs, 200g wheat bran, 20g corn flour, 40g lime, 10g gypsum, and 600g water. The cultivation bags are sterilized at 121℃ for 2.5 hours and then cooled before use.
[0036] The experimental method was as follows: tiered bag cultivation, with no fewer than 60 bags and 3 replicates. Bags were prepared in December, and fruiting bodies emerged from May to September of the following year. Cultivation bags inoculated with 10g of *Auricularia auricula-judae* mycelial culture per bag were placed in a cultivation room at 18-26℃ in the dark for 30 days for fruiting management. During fruiting, the temperature was maintained between 14℃ and 33℃, and the relative humidity inside the cultivation room was kept at 85%–95%. Light intensity should not exceed 310 lux on sunny days. Good ventilation was essential; the greenhouse doors were opened for ventilation in the morning and evening for 15–30 minutes per day. Fruiting bodies were ready for harvest when the edges of the fruiting bodies slightly curled upwards.
[0037] Cultivation results showed that the yield was 87.1 g / bag dry and 696.8 g / bag fresh. Mature fruiting bodies are single-lobed and clustered, with smooth edges. Fresh auricles have vein-like wrinkles on the ventral side, are brownish-red, and brownish-gray on the dorsal side; dried auricles are dark brown on the ventral side and gray on the dorsal side. Figure 3When the ears emerge from both ends during long-stick cultivation in the greenhouse, the fresh ear pieces should be 60.3–66.4 mm long, 71.3–76.8 mm wide, and 2.0–3.4 mm thick, with a dry-to-wet ratio of 1:8.
[0038] Routine nutritional analysis of mature dried fruiting bodies revealed that per 100 grams, there were 49.5 g of crude polysaccharides, 5.32 g of protein, and 4.1 g of total amino acids. The texture was crisp and elastic, with a hardness value of 344.12 ± 22.058 and an elasticity value of 0.91 ± 0.013.
[0039] Furthermore, statistics showed that the contamination rate of the wrinkled fungus mycelium cultivation spawn was only 3.5%, and the contaminating fungus was a common edible fungus contaminant, *Vibrio vulgaris*, caused by damage to the cultivation bags. No specific diseases or pests were observed during the fruiting period, indicating that the wrinkled fungus of this invention has strong resistance to contamination.
