It can be cultivated on log and a wide variety of agroforestry (by-)products, weeds and wastes for the production of food, feed, enzymes and medicinal compounds, or for waste degradation and detoxification. Many different techniques and substrates have been successfully utilized for mushroom cultivation and biomass production by means of solid-state and submerged liquid fermentation. However, in contrast to submerged liquid fermentation, solid-state fermentation is not often used in large scale due to severe engineering problems.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"t m0 x18 h2 y17 ff1 fs0 fc0 sc0 ls5 ws0\">Various <span class=\"ff2\">Pleurotus <\/span>species have been shown to possess a number of medicinal properties, such as antitumour, immunomodulatory, anti-genotoxic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolaemic, antihypertensive, antiplatelet-aggregating, antihyperglycaemic, antimicrobial and antiviral activities. These therapeutic activities are exhibited by extracts or isolated compounds from <span class=\"ff2\">Pleurotus <\/span>spp. fermentation broth, mycelia and fruiting bodies.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11519\" src=\"https:\/\/goba.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-11-at-12.25.18-300x98.jpg\" alt=\"Reported antimicrobial activities of Pleurotus spp.\" width=\"569\" height=\"186\" \/><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"t m0 x18 h2 y17 ff1 fs0 fc0 sc0 ls5 ws0\">In particular, polysaccharides appear to be potent antitumour and immuno-enhancing substances, besides possessing other beneficial activities.
