Evaluation of Biomass and Chitin Production of <i>Morchella</i> Mushrooms Grown on Starch-Based Substrates

Evaluation of Biomass and Chitin Production of <i>Morchella</i> Mushrooms Grown on Starch-Based Substrates

<i>Morchella</i> sp. is one of the most expensive mushrooms with a high nutritional profile. In this study, the polysaccharide content of <i>Morchella</i> species was investigated. Specifically, mycelium growth rate, biomass production, sclerotia formation, and glucosamine an...
