| Abstract |
Shiitake mushroom Lentinis edodes is an edible and medicinal mushroom that is highly appreciated and has a commercial potential in mony countries especially China, Japan and United States This type of mushroom was newly introduced to Egypt from China. L. edodes mushroom was grown using different media substrates during three consecutive seasons.Incubation period, early of harvesting,yield and biological efficiency were estimated as well as drying parameters for fruit bodies.The incubation period ranged from 36 to 57 days and was effected mainly by media type. Sawdust recorded the shortest incubation time and first harvesting day time, while bagasse showed the longest ones. Also, Sawdust produced the maximum yield 297g/kg wet media with the highest biological efficiency %, while bagasse recorder the lowest values. Rice straw and corn cobs lies in between. The shiitake fruit bodies contained (86.37-87.52%) moisture content, (21.49-23.17%) crude protien, (3.62-4.15%) ether extract and (7.2-8.35%) ash content. The shiitake fruit bodies were used for drying process. Drying time was affected mainly by drying method and pre-drying treatments which ranged between 40-60 hrs. for sun drying and 10-16hrs. for oven dehydration. Moisture content of dried mushroom ranged from 5.16 to 8.96% depending upon drying and pre-drying treatments. Rehydration ratio of dried shiitake was greatly affected by pre-drying treatment. Steam blanched dried samples attained the lowest rehydration ratio, while dried control sample had the highest rehydration ratio.
