Large scale cultivation of macrofungi is possible with
fermentation, using easily accessible lignocellulosic agricultural
residues utilising economical methods to generate substantial
biomass, food and biofuels. Bioconversion of lignocellulosic wastes
by macrofungi generates value-added fungal nutritional biomass for
humans and livestock. Besides commercial cultivation techniques,
other topics covered include healing potential of mushrooms,
industrial opportunities, mycelium-based products, forest wild
mushrooms and industrial applications of white rot fungi. This book
addresses the various applications of macrofungi. It encourages
readers to explore non-conventional sources of nutrition as well as
bioactive metabolites to serve as nutraceuticals. The volume
emphasizes the significance of macrofungi as source of bioactive
compounds to remedy human lifestyle diseases especially cancers and
cardiovascular ailments along with immunostimulation potential by
Cordyceps. This book also emphasises on the role of mushrooms as a
source of cosmeceuticals, source of flavors, essence, scents and
perfumes.
