What makes for healthy mushroom crop production?

Can substrate microbiomes be manipulated to improve mushroom growth and development?

Eoin O’Connor is a postdoctoral scholar at the Penn State University Hockett Lab, where he studies mycology and the microbiomes of commercial mushroom substrates.

Tune in to learn:

  • The difference between metaproteomics and metagenomics, and why one is better in some ways than the other
  • The relationship between phases of compost, microbiomes, and mushroom growth
  • What pseudomonas is, how it interacts with VOCs, and how it impacts mushroom health
  • How to “passage” material in casing layers to improve commercial mushroom production
