INTRODUCTION Edible and medical mushrooms have been cultivated very popular in Vietnam Edible mushrooms Medical mushrooms Improvement of Vietnamese farmers’ income Increase of exported agricultural products Enhancement of the value of agricultural wastes

Simple and backward technologies INTRODUCTION Problems of mushrooms cultivation in Vietnam Simple and backward technologies Mushrooms farms Backward technologies Low efficiency Small scale High labor and energy consumption Environmental pollution

INTRODUCTION Lingzhi mushroom cultivation in Vietnam Advantages A high valuable medical mushroom Containing active ingredients to prevent cancer diseases A high economic value: High price Lingzhi Mushroom

INTRODUCTION Difficult for the poor Problems of Lingzhi mushroom cultivation in Vietnam Big investment in the facilities Consumption of so much energy Consumption of so much labor Difficult for the poor

High rate of infection with harmful molds: black , yellow, blue INTRODUCTION Problems of Lingzhi mushroom cultivation in Vietnam Yellow mold Black mold Blue mold High rate of infection with harmful molds: black , yellow, blue Low profit

AIMS OF PROJECT Development of effective microorganisms (EMs) Results of inhibit harmful molds’ growth tests Inhibit harmful molds’ growth Not inhibit Lingzhi’s growth Production of enzyme cellulase

ADVANTAGES OF THE EMs Lingzhi and other mushrooms cultivation without autoclaving biomass Reduction of facilities investment Saving energy Saving labor cost Environmental pollution Reduction Extension of Lingzhi cultivation in Vietnam Helping the poor can cultivate this valuable mushroom Reduction of the environmental pollution
