Abstract

The basis for the production of any food comes from the simple choice of the variety to be used and which method of cultivation should be adopted to achieve the highest economic yield, producing foods of the highest quality without causing environmental damages. This saying also serves the cultivation of mushrooms, a recent activity in the country and with great potential for exploration. The mushroom Agaricus subrufescens, has Brazilian natural origin being rich in minerals, proteins, polysaccharides and other biomolecules. Because it is a medicinal mushroom used to recover patients, with the immune system low, the production method of A. subrufescens must follow an intense process of traceability and quality control. Thus, we intend to define the main processes that influence productivity (productivity, number of mushrooms, time for the 1st flow and precocity) and the quality (²-glucan content and ergosterol) of the final product. In order to do so, we will evaluate the whole production system, which will use 6 different strains, starting from a field crop (low technological level) to a climatic chamber culture, specific for the mushroom production (high technological level), which in both the situations the evaluated product will be the mushroom. At the end of the project, the aim is to elucidate the mechanisms of production of biomolecules, which may even result in processes and prototypes of "sustainable production principle", valuing a national product, produced in a differentiated way, which will make it unique and extremely valuable in the market International.
