Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Edible and medicinal fungi are very important products for human wellness. The production scale of E&M fungi has grown in recent years. Major scientific and technical advancements in the area of E&M fungi are happening, and these efforts need to be integrated to ensure the sustainable production of E&M fungi.
We invite you to share your recent research for this Special Issue. Submissions on the following topics (among others) are requested: (1) strain breeding; (2) substrate formula; (3) cultivation technology based on cultivation physiology in E&M fungi production; (4) control technology for diseases and pests in E&M fungi cultivation management; (5) post-harvest physiology and its application in E&M fungi preservation; (6) chemical components of residues and the application of residues based on its chemical component analysis; (7) bioactivity and competent.
