Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention pertains to the field of biotechnology, specifically relating to a Boletus edulis culture medium and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Boletus ( Boletus Boletus edulis (spp.) is a group of large fungi widely distributed in global forest ecosystems, highly favored by consumers for its delicious flavor, rich nutrition, and various bioactive components. my country possesses abundant wild Boletus edulis resources, with Yunnan province being particularly concentrated, earning it the title of "Kingdom of Wild Mushrooms." However, the artificial cultivation of Boletus edulis has long faced numerous technical bottlenecks. On the one hand, some Boletus edulis are mycorrhizal fungi, traditionally believed to require symbiosis with specific trees for growth, making artificial cultivation virtually impossible. On the other hand, even for Boletus edulis species that can be cultivated saprophytically, current cultivation techniques still suffer from slow mycelial growth, long fruiting cycles, and unstable yields. In recent years, with the accelerated industrialization of edible fungi, the development of novel edible fungi culture media using agricultural waste has become a research hotspot in the field of ecological agriculture. The preparation of solid culture media for edible fungi using byproducts such as bagasse, scum, and filter mud from sugar factories has attracted widespread attention. Against this backdrop, exploring new, efficient, low-cost culture media that can improve the yield and quality of Boletus edulis has significant economic and ecological value.

[0003] Currently, the culture media commonly used in the artificial cultivation of Boletus edulis mainly consist of sawdust, cottonseed hulls, corn cobs, and rice straw, supplemented with nutrients such as wheat bran and corn flour. However, existing culture media have the following shortcomings in practical applications: First, the mycelial growth rate is slow, and the cultivation cycle is long. Traditional cultivation media suffer from problems such as slow mycelial growth, inconsistent strain quality, and easy degeneration, which have become obstacles to the industrialization of Boletus edulis.

[0004] Secondly, the fruiting efficiency is low, and the biological conversion rate is not high. Existing culture medium formulations fail to adequately match the physiological needs and growth patterns of Boletus edulis, resulting in prolonged mycelial colonization time, difficulty in primordia formation, uneven fruiting, and low yield per unit area. The cultivation biological efficiency of some Boletus edulis varieties is far lower than that of commercially viable edible mushroom varieties, severely restricting the large-scale development of the industry.

[0005] Third, the nutritional quality of the fruiting bodies needs improvement. Boletus fruiting bodies are rich in crude protein, polysaccharides, and active ingredients such as ergothioneine. Among these, Boletus polysaccharides exhibit significant immunomodulatory and antioxidant activity; studies have shown that Boletus fruiting body polysaccharides can significantly increase the mass of the thymus and spleen, and promote the body's immune function. However, under current cultivation conditions, the content of these active ingredients in the fruiting bodies is often lower than in wild individuals, limiting the high-value-added development and utilization of Boletus.

[0006] In conclusion, developing a cultivation culture medium and its preparation method that can simultaneously improve the mycelial growth rate, fruiting rate, and nutritional quality of Boletus edulis is of great significance for promoting the quality improvement, efficiency enhancement, and sustainable development of the Boletus edulis industry.

[0025] Comparative Example 1 The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that the fermented sugarcane bagasse is obtained by drying it after the first stage of fermentation is completed and the water content is 10-12%.

[0026] Comparative Example 2 The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 lies in the first stage of the preparation of fermented sugarcane bagasse: sugarcane bagasse is crushed to a particle size of 0.5-1.5 cm, water is added to adjust the moisture content to 60%-65%, and urea (dissolved in water) at 0.8% of the dry weight of the sugarcane bagasse is added before inoculating with only halophilic Helicobacter pylori.

Myxococcus xanthus Seed liquid fermentation, and after fermentation, drying until the water content is 10-12% yields fermented sugarcane bagasse.

[0028] Comparative Example 4 The difference between Comparative Example 4 and Example 1 is that unfermented sugarcane bagasse was used as the culture medium material instead of fermented sugarcane bagasse.

[0029] Comparative Example 5 The difference between Comparative Example 5 and Example 1 is that cottonseed hulls were used as the culture medium raw material instead of fermented sugarcane bagasse.

[0030] Experimental Example The culture media from Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were bagged (15cm*35cm polypropylene bags), sterilized, cooled, and inoculated with Boletus edulis spawn (10 bags per treatment, three replicates). They were then cultured indoors at 33-35℃, 80%-85% humidity, and 12h / 12h light-dark alternation. Mycelial growth was observed and the growth rate was measured. After the mycelium filled the bags, the bags were opened and covered with 3-4cm of paddy soil, maintaining a soil moisture content of 40-45%, relative humidity of 75-85%, and temperature of 26-28℃. Fruiting was then carried out in a fruiting house. Fruiting bodies were harvested before the caps fully expanded. Yield was tallied, and the crude protein, polysaccharide, and ergothioneine content in the fruiting bodies of each treatment were measured. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0031] The crude protein content in 100g of dried Boletus edulis was determined by the Kjeldahl method, the polysaccharide content in 100g of dried Boletus edulis was determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method, and the ergothionein content in 100g of Boletus edulis was determined by high performance liquid chromatography.
