Pleurotus eryngii-King Oyster Mushrooms

  • Pleurotus eryngii (also known as king trumpet mushroom, French horn mushroom, king oyster mushroom, king brown mushroom, boletus of the steppes,trumpet royale, aliʻi oyster) is an edible mushroom native to Mediterranean regions of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, but also grown in many parts of Asia.

  • P. eryngii is the largest species in the oyster mushroom genus, Pleurotus, which also contains the oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. It has a thick, meaty white stem and a small tan cap (in young specimens).

  •  Its natural range extends from the Atlantic Ocean through the Mediterranean Basin and Central Europe into Western Asia and India.

  •  Unlike other species of Pleurotus, which are primarily wood-decay fungi, the P. eryngii complex are also weak parasites on the roots of herbaceous plants, although they may also be cultured on organic wastes.

  • The Pleurotus Eryngii  mushroom has antioxidants that help to keep disease away. 

  • The antioxidant in this mushroom comes in the form of an amino acid known as ergothioneine. 

  • When a person consumes the mushroom, the ergothioneine finds its way to the vulnerable areas of the body and sets off cleansing them. 

  • These sensitive areas include the eyes, the kidney and the liver. Antioxidants are elements that reverse oxidation. 

  • Oxidation is the process that causes rotting or disintegration of substances. 

  • For instance, the process of oxidation will cause a piece of meat to rot while the same process will cause body cells to disintegrate.

  •  Body cells do not necessarily rot after oxidation, but they create free radicals which essentially are damaged cells. Just like a damaged patch of a fruit causes more of the fruit to rot, so do damaged body cells.

  •  That is how cancerous cells spread. An antioxidant is very precious because it gets rid of these dangerous free radicals and the healthy cells are left in a healthy environment.

  • This mushroom also carries statins, which are disease fighting compounds. 

  • The particular compound found in the mushroom, Pleurotus Eryngii, is called Lovastatin. 

  • It is a compound that helps to clear cholesterol from your circulatory system. 

  • Once the blood is free of cholesterol, blood circulation is enhanced and the body feels healthier. A research done on mice in 2009 indicated that Pleurotus Eryngii has the effect of controlling insulin in the body too.

  • These findings were also confirmed by research done by Richard Sullivan: University of Strathclude; Medicinal Mushrooms –Their Therapeutic Properties, Richard Sullivan, May 2002.

  • Cholesterol accumulates in the body usually due to poor feeding habits mostly through regular consumption of refined foods. Another way is through consumption of fibrous foods that have been cooked over high heat for long spells until the nutritional value is diminished.

  • This mushroom is also an excellent energy booster and many sportsmen are pondering how they can get a regular supply so that they can incorporate it in their diet.

  • Pleurotus Eryngii is also credited with improving blood levels. This is important in an era when the number of people suffering from anaemia is on the increase. The nutrients in this mushroom that help to raise the haemoglobin are considered invaluable in the medical field.

  • It is also reported that the Pleurotus Eryngii mushroom has antibacterial properties. There are very many diseases that are caused by bacteria including cholera and tetanus. So a plant that can fight bacteria is definitely a life saver. It becomes all the more significant because a natural remedy like a mushroom rarely has adverse side effects.

Growing your own mushrooms at home

✔ Growing your own mushrooms at home is easy if you purchase a complete kit or just spawn and then inoculate your own substrate. ✔ However you start them, the question of when to harvest the mushrooms will inevitably come to pass. ✔ Oyster mushroom harvesting should occur 3-5 days after you see the first mushrooms begin to form. ✔ You are looking for the cap of the largest mushroom in the group to go from turning down at the edges to turning up or flattening out at the edges. ✔ Register here for mushroom training event- 26 may 2019: https://imjo.in/F3nHkb 🏭 For Mushroom Cultivation Training, mushroom Spawn Contact- Mushroom Learning Center, jaysingpur-Kolhapur phone: 9923806933, 9673510343 # mushrooms   # spawn   # mushroom  seeds  # sangli   # kolhapur   # maharashtra # mushroomtraining  #mushroom farming #mushroom business  # fresh mushrooms  # dry  mushrooms  # paddy  straw mushrooms
