TL;DR: The substrates cellulose:lignin ratios were found to be positively correlated to mycelial growth rates and to mushroom yield of P. ostreatus and P. pulmonarius and V. volvacea strains and between cellulose content and mushroom yield for V. aegerita and Pleurotus spp.

TL;DR: In this paper, waste bio-diesel derived glycerol was used as the sole carbon source by higher fungi; two Lentinula edodes strains were flask cultured in carbon-limited conditions and displayed satisfactory growth in media presenting weak agitation, pH 4.0 and temperature 25°C.

TL;DR: Crude glycerol, waste discharged from bio‐diesel production, was used as carbon substrate for three natural Yarrowia lipolytica strains (LFMB 19, LFMB 20 and ACA‐YC 5033) during growth in nitrogen‐limited submerged shake‐flask experiments, and all strains presented satisfactory microbial growth and complete Glycerol uptake.

TL;DR: The mycelium extension rates were determined by the ‘race-tube’ technique, and were found to be the highest on cotton gin-trash, peanut shells and poplar sawdust for Pleurotus spp.

TL;DR: The last years there has been a significant rise in the number of publications in the international literature that deal with the production of lipids by microbial sources (the ‘single cell oils; SCOs’ that are produced by the so‐called ‘oleaginous’ micro‐organisms).
