2. Mushrooms are a type of fungi; Fungi are living
organisms that are distantly related to plants, and
more closely related to animals, but rather different
from either of those groups.
All mushrooms are fungi, but not all fungi are
mushrooms.
A mushroom is the reproductive structure
produced by some fungi. It is somewhat like the
fruit of a plant, except that the “seeds” it produces
are in fact millions of microscopic spores that form
in the gills or pores underneath the mushroom’s
cap.
3. • Edible mushrooms are consumed for their
nutritional value and they are occasionally
consumed for their supposed medicinal
value. Mushrooms consumed by those
practicing folk medicine are known as
medicinal mushrooms.
• In a 100 gram (3.5 ounce) amount, raw
mushrooms provide 22 calories.
6. Historical Background of
Mushroom Culture in
the Philippines
• A long time ago mushrooms were believe
to be a fruit of thunderbolt
• The Chinese introduce mushroom culture
in the Philippines and it started in
Pampanga in the early 1900’s
7. UP College of agriculture
developed scientific
method by using spawns
in 1916
The National Science and Development
Board (NSDB), the National Research
Council of the Philippines (NRCP) and
Philippines Council for Agriculture
Resources Research and Development
(PCARRD) were financed research of
Department of Plant Pathology in UPLB
to improve the technology of mushroom
culture
