Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of forest understory edible fungi cultivation technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a forest understory edible fungi cultivation substrate using crop straw and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Forest-grown edible fungi refer to large edible fungi that naturally occur or are cultivated in a simulated ecological manner on substrates such as humus layers, fallen leaves, and fallen logs in natural or artificial forests. They rely on extracellular enzyme systems such as ligninase, cellulase, and hemicellulase secreted by their mycelium to decompose the lignocellulose in forest litter and fallen logs, converting it into their own nutrients. This achieves efficient reuse of forest litter while simultaneously completing the rapid cycling of elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Common examples include matsutake, porcini, chanterelle, rutabaga, pine lacteus, and tiger paw mushrooms. These fungi form ectomycorrhizal symbiotic relationships with specific tree species. Their fruiting bodies are mostly umbrella-shaped, trumpet-shaped, or kidney-shaped, with colors ranging from golden yellow and bright red to dark brown. They have rich and layered flavors and only require simple washing after harvesting before stir-frying, stewing, making porridge, or adding soup. This method preserves the unique rich aroma of wild fungi while providing high-quality protein, polysaccharides, vitamins, and minerals for daily diets, making them forest delicacies that combine ecological value with high-end taste.
[0003] These fungi not only possess a unique flavor but also boast rich nutritional and health benefits: they are rich in high-quality plant protein, dietary fiber, various amino acids, and minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc, effectively supplementing the body's daily nutritional needs and compensating for deficiencies in some nutrients found in grains and vegetables. Some species, such as Ganoderma lucidum and matsutake, contain polysaccharides and triterpenoids, which also have immune-regulating and gastrointestinal-protecting effects, holding an important position in traditional dietary therapy and health preservation systems. Furthermore, the growth characteristics of edible fungi make them highly valuable in the resource utilization of agricultural and forestry waste. Many species can efficiently degrade lignocellulose, allowing for artificial cultivation using crop straws such as wheat straw, corn straw, and cotton stalks, as well as forestry logging residues and wood processing waste as substrates. This reduces cultivation costs and achieves the recycling of agricultural and forestry waste, aligning with the concept of green development.
[0004] However, current technologies for the degradation of crop straw by edible fungi still face numerous bottlenecks. Currently, straw is often simply crushed and dried before being used directly as a cultivation substrate, failing to adequately meet the growth requirements of edible fungi. This is because the cell walls of crop straw are primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin tightly bound together by covalent bonds, forming a dense three-dimensional network structure. This not only significantly increases the difficulty for edible fungi to decompose and utilize the straw through their secreted enzyme systems but also hinders the absorption of nutrients by the mycelium. Furthermore, most edible fungi are extremely sensitive to environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and pH. If the straw substrate is poorly compatible with the fungal strain or if environmental parameters are not properly controlled, problems such as slow mycelial growth, incomplete substrate consumption, delayed fruiting time, large yield fluctuations, and inconsistent fruiting body quality are highly likely to occur. More importantly, during the open-air storage of crop straw, changes in temperature and humidity make it highly susceptible to the growth of toxin-producing fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium. The toxins produced by these fungi are not only difficult to remove, but may also accumulate in the fruiting bodies of edible fungi, endangering human health. At the same time, straw that has not been thoroughly inactivated may also carry pathogens such as damping-off fungus and root-knot nematode eggs, as well as harmful insect eggs. These harmful organisms will compete with edible fungi for nutrients and may even cause diseases and pests, severely inhibiting the growth and reproduction of edible fungi, significantly reducing the straw degradation efficiency and the economic benefits of edible fungi cultivation, and restricting the large-scale promotion of this resource utilization model. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Technical Problem to be Solved: To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention discloses a method for preparing a cultivation substrate for edible fungi under forest cover using crop straw and its application. The method involves first crushing crop straw, adding water, and then subjecting it to ultrasonic cavitation and photocatalytic pyrolysis treatments, followed by drying to obtain pretreated straw. Simultaneously, chitosan and poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid are reacted to form a prepolymer, which is then added to a composite bacterial solution for cross-linking and drying to obtain a composite bacterial agent. Finally, the pretreated straw, composite bacterial agent, and auxiliary materials are mixed and packaged to obtain the cultivation substrate. This method effectively breaks down the dense surface structure of straw and the connections between lignin and cellulose / hemicellulose, forming a loose and porous substrate structure. This provides ample sites for the growth of edible fungi. The composite bacterial agent not only significantly improves the degradation efficiency of straw and provides sufficient nutrition for the growth of edible fungi, but also inhibits the proliferation of pathogens, reduces disease occurrence, effectively promotes mycelial growth and fruiting body development of edible fungi, optimizes the nutritional quality of edible fungi, and achieves efficient resource recycling of crop straw.
[0006] Technical solution: A method for preparing a cultivation substrate for edible fungi under forest cover using crop straw includes the following steps: S1. Crop straw is crushed and mixed with water to prepare a straw solution. Trehalose, calcium lactate and diethyl malonate are added to the straw solution in sequence and mixed evenly. Then, ultrasonic cavitation treatment is performed to obtain a pretreated straw solution. S2. Add riboflavin to the pretreated straw solution, stir to dissolve, then perform photocatalytic pyrolysis treatment, and dry to obtain pretreated straw; S3. Chitosan and poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid are dispersed in acetic acid solution, and 1,3-diacrylate is added and reacted at 40-60℃ for 10-30 min to form a prepolymer. Then, the composite bacterial solution is added and crosslinked at 20-40℃ for 1-6 h. After washing and drying, the composite bacterial agent is prepared. S4. The pretreated straw prepared in S2 and the compound microbial agent prepared in S3 are mixed with auxiliary materials to adjust the pH to 5.5-7.5 and the moisture content to 50-70%, and then packaged to obtain the cultivation substrate for edible fungi under forest.
[0007] Preferably, in step S1, the solid-liquid ratio of crop straw to water is 1:(5-20) g / mL; the crop straw is selected from one or more of corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw, reed straw, and bean straw.
[0008] Preferably, in step S1, the amount of trehalose added is 1-5 wt%, the amount of calcium lactate added is 0.5-2%, and the amount of diethyl malonate added is 1-10%, all based on the mass of crop straw; the conditions for ultrasonic cavitation treatment are ultrasonic frequency 20-80 kHz, power density 100-300 W / L, treatment temperature 25-60℃, and treatment time 30-60 min.
[0009] Preferably, the amount of riboflavin added in step S2 is 0.1-0.5 g / L; the conditions for photocatalytic degradation treatment are light irradiation intensity of 1000-5000 lx, irradiation time of 2-8 h, light source of visible light or ultraviolet light, and light source wavelength of 365-650 nm.
[0010] Preferably, in step S3, the mass ratio of chitosan to poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) is 1:(0.5-3), and the amount of 1,3-diacrylate added is 5-10% of the total mass of chitosan and poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid).
[0011] Preferably, in step S3, the volume ratio of the composite bacterial solution to the prepolymer is (1-5):1; the composite bacterial solution is prepared by mixing Bacillus thuringiensis bacterial solution and Bacillus tekirae bacterial solution at a volume ratio of 1:(0.5-2); the bacterial concentration of the composite bacterial solution is (1-7)×10⁻⁶. 8 CFU / mL.
[0012] Preferably, the concentration of the Bacillus thuringiensis bacterial solution is (1.5-4) × 10⁻⁶. 8The bacterial concentration of Bacillus tegmentata in the culture was (2-5.5) × 10 CFU / mL. 8 CFU / mL.
[0013] Preferably, in step S4, the amount of compound microbial agent added is 5-15% of the mass of pretreated straw, and the auxiliary material is composed of humus and wheat bran in a mass ratio of 1:(1-1.5), and the amount of auxiliary material added is 10-50% of the mass of pretreated straw. Beneficial effects
[0014] 1. This invention utilizes high-frequency ultrasound to generate a large number of microbubbles in a crop straw solution system. Under the periodic changes of ultrasound, the microbubbles undergo a stage of expansion-compression-collapse. The instantaneous high temperature and high pressure environment, strong shock wave, and micro-jet effect formed at the moment of collapse can directly destroy the dense structure of the surface layer of crop straw, break the covalent bonds such as ester bonds and ether bonds between lignin and cellulose and hemicellulose, and form a large number of microcracks and pores inside the straw. Trehalose lipids can reduce the surface tension of the crop straw solution system, stabilize the microbubbles generated by ultrasound to prolong their existence time and improve the uniformity of bursting. The fluid disturbance generated by the bursting of microbubbles can accelerate the penetration of various components into the internal pores of the straw, so that the subsequent modification treatment can extend from the surface layer to the internal matrix.
[0015] 2. This invention utilizes diethyl malonate to modify crop straw with β-dicarbonyl enol via an enolization reaction. The hydroxyl groups in diethyl malonate can undergo dehydration condensation reactions with the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose and hemicellulose molecular chains of straw, and simultaneously form hydrogen bonds with the aromatic ring hydroxyl groups of lignin and undergo substitution reactions. This introduces a large number of enol oxygen groups onto the surface of the straw, while also reacting with the Ca in the soaking solution. 2+ Stable coordination bonds are formed to expand the molecular chain spacing of straw cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, further expanding the pores formed by ultrasonic microbubbles, breaking the lignin encapsulation barrier of cellulose and hemicellulose, providing more action sites for photo-media pyrolysis treatment, and laying the foundation for electrostatic adsorption and colonization of composite fungal hyphae.
[0016] 3. In this invention, riboflavin is added to an exogenous crop straw solution system. Under light irradiation, riboflavin is excited to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The stable aromatic ring structure of lignin in straw can be attacked by ROS. After the conjugated structure is destroyed, it is cleaved into small molecules. At the same time, ROS can also precisely destroy the bonding bonds between lignin and cellulose, achieving efficient dissociation of the two. Through photo-mediated cleavage, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in straw are deeply treated to form a loose and porous matrix structure, which improves the mycelial penetration efficiency and enzymatic contact area during subsequent compound fungal fermentation, ensuring the high efficiency of fermentation degradation.
[0017] 4. In preparing the composite microbial agent, this invention utilizes chitosan and poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid to form β-hydroxy ester bonds and β-amino ester bonds through Michael addition under the cross-linking effect of acrylate molecules. The molecular chains connected by β-hydroxy ester bonds and β-amino ester bonds intertwine to obtain a three-dimensional loading network with a porous structure. The pore diameter of the network is controlled to precisely match the spore diameter of Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus tekirae, which can not only achieve efficient embedding and fixation of the two Bacillus species, but also provide unobstructed channels for the diffusion of nutrients and the conduction of metabolites in the straw substrate. At the same time, the ester groups of the β-hydroxy ester bonds can form hydrogen bonds with the polysaccharide molecular chains, and the amino groups of the β-amino ester bonds can form ionic bonds with the peptidoglycans of the cell walls of the two Bacillus species, further consolidating the embedding effect and improving the stability of the strains in the cultivation substrate.
[0018] 5. When inoculating edible fungi under forest cover, Bacillus thuringiensis secretes cellulase to ensure the continuous and efficient degradation of cellulose. The degradation product, glucose, provides a carbon source for the mycelium of *Matsutake*. The mycelium of *Matsutake* secretes a variety of enzyme systems to further degrade the residual components of pretreated crop straw, generating easily absorbed substances and promoting the growth of *Matsutake* fruiting body primordia. The lysin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis and the specific antimicrobial metabolites secreted by Bacillus tekirae decompose the cell wall components of root rot pathogens, destroying the cell structure and causing them to lyse and die, thus inhibiting the proliferation and infection of pathogens. The antimicrobial peptides and phenolic substances secreted by *Matsutake* act on the cell membrane of pathogens, increasing membrane permeability and inactivating them, thereby enhancing the resistance of *Matsutake* to root rot pathogens. In addition, Bacillus tekirae promotes the conversion of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium elements in the cultivation substrate into absorbable forms. Small molecule sugars produced by straw degradation are absorbed by the mycelium of Matsutake mushrooms and converted into energy and precursors, effectively improving the absorption and utilization rate of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium elements by the mycelium of Matsutake mushrooms, optimizing the nutrient content of Matsutake mushroom fruiting bodies, and improving nutritional quality.

[0028] (1) Average particle size Accurately weigh 0.05g of the compound bacterial agent sample and place it in 5mL of sterile physiological saline. Add 1 drop of Tween-80 and ultrasonically disperse it for 10min at 200W in an ultrasonic cell disruptor. Turn on the laser particle size analyzer and calibrate the instrument with standard particle size calibration solution. After successful calibration, set the measurement parameters as follows: measurement temperature 25℃, dispersion medium sterile physiological saline, and stirring speed 200r / min. Slowly inject the pretreated sample suspension into the sample cell of the laser particle size analyzer. After the instrument shows that the particle dispersion is stable, start the measurement program. Each measurement time is 30s.
[0029] (2) Embedding efficiency Accurately weigh 0.1g of the compound bacterial agent sample and place it in 9mL of sterile physiological saline. Dilute it serially to an appropriate concentration (10). -6 -10 -8(1) Take 100 μL of the diluted solution and spread it evenly on LB agar plates. Set up 3 replicates for each dilution gradient. Incubate at 30℃ for 24 h. Count the number of colonies on the plates and calculate the total viable count of the compound bacterial agent according to the dilution ratio. Take 9 mL of the suspension corresponding to the above 0.1 g compound bacterial agent sample and centrifuge at 8000 r / min for 10 min. Collect the supernatant and dilute it to the appropriate concentration. Take 100 μL of the diluted solution and spread it on LB agar plates. Set up 3 replicates for each dilution gradient. Incubate at 30℃ for 24 h and count the number of free viable bacteria. Calculate the encapsulation efficiency: Encapsulation efficiency (%) = (total viable bacteria - free viable bacteria) / total viable bacteria × 100%.
[0030] Table 1. Average particle size and encapsulation efficiency of the composite microbial agents prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3.
[0031] As shown in Table 1, the composite bacterial agents prepared in Examples 1-5 exhibit excellent overall performance, uniform particle dispersion, and good carrier encapsulation effect. This is because the interaction between chitosan, poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid, and 1,3-diacrylate forms a stable and dense carrier structure, effectively achieving efficient encapsulation of Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus tekirae. In contrast, Comparative Examples 1-3 lacked one of these three components, resulting in the inability of the carrier to form a stable cross-linked structure, thus affecting the encapsulation performance. Consequently, the composite bacterial agents prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 were prone to particle agglomeration, leading to a significant decrease in encapsulation effect. Example 6

[0044] A cultivation experiment was conducted using *Matsutake*, an edible fungus grown under forest cover, as an example. The experiment was conducted in broad-leaved forest areas with flat terrain, good ventilation and light penetration, soil pH of 6.0-7.0, and organic matter content ≥2.0%. The experimental plots were uniformly divided into four groups: Example 6, Example 7, Example 8, Example 9, Example 10, Comparative Example 4, Comparative Example 5, Comparative Example 6, Comparative Example 7, Comparative Example 8, Comparative Example 9, and Comparative Example 10. The cultivation substrate for each experimental group was moistened by spraying water 12 hours in advance. Sowing was carried out using a spot-sowing method. The inoculum amount of *Matsutake* was uniformly 5% of the dry weight of the cultivation substrate, and the sowing density was 20cm × 20cm. After sowing, a 5cm layer of sterile humus soil was covered and gently compacted. A small amount of sterile water was sprayed to keep the soil moist. During the experiment, the forest environment was uniformly controlled, with the temperature maintained at 25℃ and the relative humidity at 85-90%. Ventilation was carried out twice a day for 30 minutes each time (9-10 am and 4-5 pm). Weeds and bacteria in the plots were regularly removed to ensure the normal growth of red matsutake mushrooms. The management conditions of each group were completely consistent. When the fruiting bodies of *Matsutake* matured, the material conversion rates of each group's cultivation substrate were measured (including cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, referring to "NY / T 3494-2019 Determination of Cellulose, Hemicellulose, and Lignin in Agricultural Biomass Raw Materials"). The agronomical traits of *Matsutake* were recorded. The cap diameter, cap thickness, stipe diameter, and stipe length were measured using vernier calipers, and the weight of a single mushroom was measured using an electronic scale. The biological efficiency was defined as the ratio of the total fresh weight of the fruiting bodies to the dry weight of the cultivation substrate. Nutritional indicators of the *Matsutake* fruiting bodies were also measured: protein was determined according to "GB 5009.5-2025 National Food Safety Standard - Determination of Protein in Food"; polysaccharides were determined according to "NY / T 1676-2023 Determination of Crude Polysaccharides in Edible Fungi - Spectrophotometric Method"; flavonoids were determined using the sodium nitrite-aluminum nitrate-sodium hydroxide colorimetric method; polyphenols were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method; and sterols were determined according to "NY / T 4724-2025". The determination of ergosterol and ergosterol peroxide in edible fungi and their products.

[0046] Table 3. Agronomic traits of red matsutake mushrooms in Examples 6-10 and Comparative Examples 4-10
[0047] Table 4. Nutritional indicators of red matsutake fruiting bodies in Examples 6-10 and Comparative Examples 4-10
[0048] As shown in Tables 2, 3, and 4, the conversion rates of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in the forest understory edible fungi cultivation substrate of Examples 6-10 were all superior to those of Comparative Examples 4-10. This indicates that the compound microbial agent in the forest understory edible fungi cultivation substrate can work synergistically with the mycelium of *Matsutake* to efficiently degrade and utilize cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Furthermore, the agronomic traits, single mushroom weight, biological efficiency, and nutritional indicators of the fruiting bodies of *Matsutake* in Examples 6-10 were all superior to those in Comparative Examples 4-10. This demonstrates that the method described in this invention, through a three-stage synergistic treatment system of ultrasonic cavitation, photocatalytic lysis, and compound microbial agent, significantly improves the degradation efficiency of lignocellulose in the cultivation substrate, promotes the conversion and utilization of nutrients in the cultivation substrate by *Matsutake*, thereby significantly improving the agronomic traits of the fruiting bodies and enriching them with functional nutrients such as proteins, polysaccharides, and flavonoids. This invention provides an effective way to achieve high-value utilization of crop straw and promotes the development of the forest understory edible fungi industry towards high efficiency, high quality, and ecological sustainability.
