Development of a Real-Time 3D Mushroom Vision System for Autonomous Mushroom Harvesting
… and constrained environments. An example is the mushroom harvesting industry as it requires an indoor, dark, and highly humid environment for the rapid growth of mushrooms on narrowly stacked compost beds. Manual labour is currently the only acceptable method of harvesting mushrooms, but …

Incorporation of mushroom powder into cereal food products
… of bioactive phytochemicals. On the other hand, mushrooms are the source of many nutrients, for example, the proportion of essential amino acids of most mushrooms is comparable to that of egg, especially lysine, which is an abundant essential amino acid in mushrooms, and is deficient in most …

Dopaminergic Modulation Shapes Sensorimotor Processing in the Drosophila Mushroom Body
… and learned associations. In Drosophila, the mushroom body is a prominent neural structure essential for olfactory learning. Dopaminergic neurons convey salient information about reward and punishment to the mushroom body in order to adjust synaptic connectivity between Kenyon cells, the …

Mushroom body expansion and the cognitive ecology of Heliconius butterflies
… of an insect brain structure called the mushroom bodies (MBs), which are 3-4 times larger than in other Lepidoptera, including closely related Heliconiini genera. MBs are known to play a role in learning and memory, particularly in olfactory contexts, however the relative cognitive …

Studies on the production, chemical composition and nutritional value of mushroom
… with freeze-dried samples of the cultivated mushroom Agaricus brunnescens. Dried fruitbodies were subjected to proximate analysis, and protein, carbohydrates, fat, moisture, ash, and amino acid contents were determined. Diets containing 10% mushroom protein resulted in PER of 1.5 and NPR of …

The Octopaminergic Modulatory Circuitry of the Drosophila Larval Mushroom Body Calyx
… and genetically amenable Drosophila larval Mushroom Body (MB) calyx, a higher order processing area involved in learned odour discrimination, as a model to map octopamine (OA) neuromodulatory circuitry. I first identified olfactory projection neurons (PNs), a GABAergic feedback neuron and …

The effect of spent mushroom compost on soil conditions and plant growth
Spent mushroom compost (SMC), a byproduct of the mushroom industry, is used widely by horticulturalists and home gardeners. However, no studies have been reported that evaluate SMC as a soil amendment in New Zealand, and work in other countries has been of limited scope. Therefore the objectives of …

Characterising the molecular response of Agaricus bisporus to mushroom virus X infection
… with the outbreak of a novel commercial disease, mushroom virus X (MVX). MVX constitutes a virome of 18 distinct single-stranded RNA viruses, of which select members cause detrimental disease phenotypes in infected mushrooms of A. bisporus. Scant focus has been placed on the molecular responses …

Development of an Imaging Tool for Commercial Mushroom Yield and Quality Estimation
Cultivation and production of mushrooms has increased during the previous decade. The production increase is due to the development of farms combined with the rise in consumer’s general understanding of the medicinal and dietary benefits of mushrooms consumption. Improvements in mycology and …

Laskagomba fajtaspecifikus termesztéstechnikájának fejlesztése = Development of oyster mushroom variety-specific growing technology
Mára már az új technológiai és gazdasági problémák hatásaként a korábbi szakmai ismeretek modernizálására van szükség a laskagomba termesztésben. Többek között elterjedtté vált a hibridek termesztése, a megbízható magyar nemesítésű HK35 fajta mellett egyre több új hibrid jelenik meg. …

Listeria monocytogenes in the mushroom production environment: biofilm formation and control measures
Mushrooms are Ireland’s most valuable horticultural crop and as such, proactive steps must be taken to prevent association with foodborne pathogens which can cause reputational and economic loss to the industry. Listeria monocytogenes is one of the major foodborne pathogens and while it has a …

The casing layer in the culture of Agaricus bisporus, the cultivated mushroom
… Equipment is described for use in experiments in mushroom culture, based on a scaled-down version of normal growing technique, allowing the analysis of both weights and number of fruitbodies forming, which was useful in assessing the effects of different casing treatments. The basic steps in the …

Experience-Dependent Plasticity in the Mushroom Bodies of the Honey Bee Brain
… that travel from the antennal lobes to the mushroom bodies. Previous work has shown that forager bees have an increase in volume of the neuropil associated with the mushroom bodies, a region of the insect brain implicated in learning, memory, and multimodal sensory integration. To study this …

Octopaminergic Regulation of Olfactory Discrimination in the Drosophila Larval Mushroom Body Calyx
The mushroom bodies of insect brains are essential for memory formation. The sensory input region of the mushroom bodies, the calyx, processes information received from stereotypic olfactory input channels, the Projection Neurons (PNs). Mushroom body neurons, Kenyon cells (KCs), integrate these …

Workers against Institutions: Power Relations and Political economy in the Irish Mushroom Industry
… between labour and capital in the Irish mushroom industry in the context of global capitalism and the Irish national institutional framework. This is reflected at a theoretical level in the opposition between the political economies of labour and capital. At a more concrete level, this …

Characterization of the pleiotropic effects of the Drosophila gene mushroom body miniature B
The mushroom body miniature B ( mbmB) mutation has documented defects in adult mushroom body anatomy, olfactory memory and female fertility. In this thesis I report that mbmB mutants also have reduced viability and growth rate. I further demonstrate, using the mushroom body cell marker dachshund, …

Characterization of Mycochemicals and Bioactivities of a New Zealand Native Mushroom Hericium novae-zealandiae
… the Māori name for a New Zealand native edible mushroom now known as Hericium novae-zealandiae. There is little to no published scientific data available on this mushroom. The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical constituents in H. novaezealandiae and their biological activities. …

Postembryonic Development and Adult Plasticity of the Mushroom Bodies in the Honey Bee Brain
The mushroom bodies are distinctive, paired neuropils in the insect brain. Convergence of numerous sensory modalities in the mushroom bodies indicates that they may be a center for sensory integration. Ablation and lesioning experiments have also established a role for this brain region in …
