second assumption was conrmed. This hypothesis was explained as follows: provided
that the nutritional resources and space of the mycelium are completely exhausted,
mycelial growth is delayed, and a forced restructuring of metabolism occurs, which
leads to the reproduction of a hypothetical photoreceptor precursor in mycelial cells
capable of absorbing light energy. When light energy is absorbed, specic substances
that stimulate the formation of fruiting bodies are formed.
An analysis of the study of photoreception mechanisms in fungi gives grounds
to assert that light can participate in the targeted regulation of their morphogenesis
and biological activity, and this, undoubtedly, can be used to create new environmentally friendly intensive technologies for their cultivation. Thus, the question of the
nature of molecules that catch light cannot be considered nally resolved. The variety
of photoreactions in various fungi suggests the presence of a whole group of photoreceptor molecules, which explains the differences in the photosensitivity of fungi and
the different effects of mutations on the phototransduction process.
Although fungal photoreceptors and their associated signaling cascades have been
described in recent years, an unexpected complexity has arisen. Modern knowledge
still needs to allow us to present a unied picture of light signaling in mushrooms.
One major area for improvement may be our limited knowledge of fungal biology, as
most molecular analyses are limited to laboratory conditions. Consequently, the role of
photoreceptors may be overlooked or misinterpreted (Fischer et al., 2016; Yu et al., 2021).
However, an analysis of works aimed at studying the mechanisms of photoreception in
fungi allows us to scientically substantiate the assertion that light can be productively
used for the targeted regulation of their morphogenesis and biological activity and this,
undoubtedly, can form the basis for the creation of new environmentally friendly intensive technologies for their cultivation.
14.3 LOW- INTENSITY ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
SOURCES IN FUNGAL RESEARCH
Micromycetes were mainly model objects when studying the photobiology of fungi.
The rst works devoted to studying the spectral dependence of photoreactions of
macromycetes began to be carried out in the 80s of the twentieth century (Durand &
Furuya, 1985; Leatham & Stahmann, 1987). The main attention was paid to studying the
inuence of light on various aspects of the morphogenesis and metabolism of edible and
medicinal macromycetes, such as the accumulation of secondary metabolites and the
formation of fruiting bodies (Huang et al., 2017; Idnurm & Heitman, 2005; Kanda et al.,
2007; Kojima et al., 2015; Li et al., 2023; Sakamoto et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2022).
The life cycle of macromycetes requires an appropriate light- dark cycle (Kamada
et al., 2010). The mycelium of most mushrooms can grow well with little or no light.
It has been established that the inuence of light on the development of fruiting bodies
varies among species (Kamada et al., 2010). Some species of macromycetes require
light for all stages of development and fruiting (Lentinula edodes, Flammulina velutipes,

Regulation of the Biological Activity of Medicinal Macromycetes 407
Hericium erinaceus, and Pleurotus sp.), and in other mushrooms species, light is not
required for the onset of fruiting but is required for later stages of fruiting body development. For the third species, lighting conditions do not affect fruiting. Coprinopsis
cinerea and Coprinellus congregatus are unique in that a dark period is required in
addition to light periods for the fruiting body primordia to develop into mature fruiting
bodies (Kamada et al., 2010).
It has been experimentally conrmed that blue light is the most stimulating factor
for the induction of fruiting in various species of macromycetes, such as Coprinopsis
cinerea, Coprinus macrorhizus (Morimoto & Oda, 1973), Coprinopsis congregatus
(Durand & Furuya, 1985; Durand & Jacques, 1982), Schizophyllum commune (YliMattila, 1985), Pleurotus ostreatus (Richartz & Maclellan, 1987).
Durand with coauthors (Durand & Furuya, 1985; Durand & Jacques, 1982) studied
the spectral sensitivity of photostimulatory and photoinhibitory effects on the development of the fungus Coprinus congregatus in the range 405– 730 nm. The cultures
were irradiated for 12 hours with a constant number of incident quanta. The spectral
sensitivity of the processes of photoinduction of the formation of primordia, photo
suppression of their development, and photo dosing had similar characteristics, which
gives grounds to believe that the same photoreceptors are involved in the morphogenesis of fruiting bodies. The spectra of the photoinhibitory effect were studied in the
region λ = 407– 690 nm. The most effective waves were in the blue part of the spectrum
(λ = 445 nm). Waves longer than λ = 510 nm were ineffective. The general shape of this
spectrum was similar to that obtained for many types of blue light responses in which the
avoprotein was considered the photoreceptor. The response of Coprinus congregatus
is a typical example of a “blue light response”. Many organisms have various physiological responses to blue and near- UV light. The so- called “blue light response” is
known for many organisms: bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. Although the analytical methods used do not allow the detection of rapid light- induced reactions, their
results may be necessary for understanding the response of fungi to light of different
wavelength ranges. Leatham and Stahmann (1987) studied the effect of light on the
fruiting of Lentinula edodes. It was found that red light (λ = 620– 680 nm) stimulated
and blue light (λ = 400– 500 nm) suppressed fruiting on media with low calcium content. However, blue light stimulated fruiting on media high in calcium. The authors
rst reported that the use of blue light (λ = 400– 500 nm) in the cultivation of L. edodes
induces pigmentation of fruiting bodies at the primary stage (Leatham & Stahmann,
1987). Ellis et al. (1999) demonstrated that primordium formation and fruiting body
maturation in Coprinus stercorarius have different light requirements, showing maximum activity at the wavelength ranging from 440 to 470 nm (Ellis et al., 1999). Also,
Sano et al. (2007, 2009) showed that blue light is one of fungi’s most important envir onmental signals, as it regulates their morphogenesis and metabolism through specic
photoreceptors (Sano et al., 2009). It has also been found that blue light promotes the
development of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies (Sano et al., 2007, 2009). Arjona et al.
(2009) found that blue light induces morphogenesis in Pleurotus ostreatus in vitro.
Induction of fruiting depends solely on control of light intensity and photoperiod and
occurs long before nutrients are depleted in the culture medium (Arjona et al., 2009). To
understand the biological phenomena associated with the photoresponse, it is critical to
control both the wavelength and intensity of light precisely. However, conventional light

408 Wild Edible Plants
sources such as incandescent or uorescent lamps have a wide range of wavelengths,
making it difcult to determine the effect of specic wavelengths.
14.4 USE OF LIGHT- EMITTING DIODES IN THE
CULTIVATION OF EDIBLE AND MEDICINAL
MACROMYCETES
Progress in the development of blue, green, and red light- emitting diode (LED) technology has made it possible to use certain parts of the optical spectrum with precise
control of the emission intensity. When assessing the biochemical impact of light, it
is necessary to consider the energy of the light quantum, the intensity of the light ux
(the number of light quanta per unit area per unit time), the dose, and the spectral composition of light. From this point of view, LEDs can provide, even at low and medium
intensities, spectral density (energy per single frequency interval) that is not available
to thermal sources. Thanks to the light emission of LEDs, efcient irradiation can be
achieved by suppressing unnecessary wavelengths and reducing energy costs by reducing unnecessary heat generation. By combining different types of LEDs, which are
available for a wide range of spectral regions from red to UV, a spectrum can be created
for optimal growth. In recent decades, LEDs have been used to cultivate certain species
of macromycetes to obtain fruiting bodies (Huang et al., 2017; Jang et al., 2013). Lightemitting diodes have a spectral linewidth of 20 to 60 nm, which is much larger than, for
example, an argon laser, which has a linewidth of about 0.005 nm. The monochromaticity
of the source radiation is characterized by the ratio of the spectral line width to the radiation wavelength ‒ the smaller this ratio, the higher the monochromaticity. As can be
seen, the monochromaticity of light- emitting diode radiation is several orders of magnitude lower than laser radiation. To emphasize this difference, we use the term “quasimonochromatic emission” to refer to LED light.
It is widely known that light intensity can positively inuence the photochemical
accumulation of bioactive metabolites (Li & Kubota, 2009). Miyazaki et al. (2011)
studied the spectral sensitivity of six species of cultivated mushrooms (Flammulina
velutipes, Hypsizygus marmoreus, Grifola frondosa, Lentinula edodes, Pholiota
nameko, and Pleurotus eryngii) for growth and fruiting. LEDs in blue, green, and yellow
wavelength ranges were used. Constant illumination with blue light (λ = 429 nm) at
the vegetative growth stage led to a signicant increase in the yield and number of
fruiting bodies of L. edodes, F. velutipes, H. marmoreus, G. frondosa, Ph. nameko, and
P. eryngii. Nakazawa et al. (2008) did a study on the effects of light and a temperature downshift on transcriptional expressions of a variety of developmentally regulated
genes in the initial stages of fruiting- body formation of L. edodes. The authors reported
that blue light (460– 475 nm) induced the formation of fruiting bodies. Jang et al. (2013)
studied the effects of different light sources on the fruiting of Hypsizygus marmoreus.
For this purpose, LEDs of different wavelengths were used: blue (λ = 475 nm), green
(λ = 525 nm), yellow (λ = 590 nm), or red (λ = 660 nm). The use of blue light resulted
in the highest yield of fruiting bodies with high ergosterol content, polyphenols, and

Regulation of the Biological Activity of Medicinal Macromycetes 409
high antioxidant activity (Jang et al., 2013). Later, Huang et al. (2017) reported that the
use of blue LED lights (λ = 460 nm) in the cultivation of Lentinus sajor- caju increased
not only the yield but also the nutritional value of the fruiting bodies. Results of the
biomass measurements of fruiting bodies, as inuenced by the light spectral treatments,
demonstrated that mushrooms showed distinct growth responses to different lightquality treatments. The dry weight (DW) of fruiting bodies grown under blue light
was signicantly higher than those under red, and green treatments. The dry weight of
the fruiting body increased by 50% with blue light treatment compared to the control.
In addition, the relationship between blue light intensity and the antioxidant properties of fruiting body extracts was studied. A correlation has been established between
light irradiation intensity and antioxidant activity. High light intensity led to increased
antioxidant activity of fruiting body extracts. The authors suggested that using LED
blue light in industrial cultivation could help improve the nutritional value of edible
mushrooms grown under controlled conditions, with future use of LEDs on an industrial
scale (Huang et al., 2017). In addition, blue light irradiation can improve the quality,
yield of fruiting bodies, and biological efciency of Flammulina liformis compared
with darkness and other light spectrums (Li et al., 2023).
The spectral sensitivity of fruiting body development during vegetative growth,
morphology, and nutritional quality of Pleurotus eryngii was studied (Yue et al., 2022).
In this research, LED light sources were selected to supplement the light in the production of P. eryngii. The results showed that the yield and nutritional quality of the
red- light treatment fruiting body were higher than those of the white light control, the
commercial properties were good, and the energy consumption of the red LED light
source was the lowest under the same light intensity. Oguntoyinbo et al. (2016) studied
the effect of different wavelengths on the morphogenesis of the fruiting body of the
edible medicinal mushroom Grifola frondosa (maitake). The wavelength range used in
the study was from 360 to 700 nm. Maitake morphogenesis under the inuence of blue
light (400– 480 nm) led to the appearance of large pilei and short stems. Green illumination with a wavelength of λ = 540 nm led to similar morphogenesis and a slightly lower
mass of the fruiting body. However, the color of the resulting fruiting body was much
lighter than that of the control mushroom. Generally, lighter- colored maitake is more
desirable in the market. Based on the results obtained, the authors recommend the use of
green light to stimulate fruiting and obtain high- quality fruiting bodies when cultivating
G. frondosa (Oguntoyinbo et al., 2016). Damaso et al. (2018) studied the effect of LED
on vegetative mycelium growth, fruiting body formation, total phenolic content, and
antioxidant activity of Lentinus tigrinus fruiting body extracts. Mycelium under blue
LED light showed the highest growth rate, while uorescent light showed the lowest
mycelial growth. In addition, when exposed to blue light, the shortest periods of incubation (12.33 days) and primary initiation (17.67 days), the highest number of fruiting
bodies (27.67), yield (37.59 g), and biological efciency (12.53%) were recorded.
Moreover, among color LEDs, the highest phenolic content (25.04 mg gallic acid equivalent per g sample dry weight) and radical scavenging activity (61.29%) were observed
in mushrooms grown under blue and red LEDs, respectively (Damaso et al., 2018).
Tiniola et al. (2021) assessed the effects of LED on biomass accumulation, fruiting
body production, total phenolic content, and antioxidant properties of Lentinus swartzii.
The most signicant effect on the synthesis of the mycelial mass was observed when
the mycelium was irradiated with red light under deep cultivation conditions. When

410 Wild Edible Plants
irradiated with green light, the largest number of primordia were recorded. Ethanol
extracts of mycelium irradiated with green light showed the highest phenolic content
(PC) (34.21 mg GAE g
– 1
sample DW). Ethanol extract of the fruiting body irradiated
with a red LED showed the highest values of radical scavenging activities (73.95%) and
PC (26.08 mg GAE g
– 1
sample DW). Analyzing the results obtained, the authors recommend culturing L. swartzii in a red LED chamber to enhance biomass production and
antioxidant properties of the fruiting body (Tiniola, 2021). A comprehensive investigation has been carried out to study the photobiological effect of LED light on the biosynthetic activity and fruiting body formation of medical mushroom Cordyceps militaris
(Dong et al., 2012, 2013; Kho et al., 2016; Yi et al., 2014). The pharmacological value
of C. militaris is large because the fruiting bodies and mycelium of this species contain
various biologically active components, of which the most important is the powerful
metabolite ‒ cordycepin. This component exhibits potent therapeutic activity against
cancer, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia and acts as a strong immunomodulator. In addition,
cordycepin has high nutraceutical potential (Ashraf et al., 2020). Dong et al. (2012,
2013) reported that light with a short wavelength stimulated the production synthesis
of carotenoids, and cordycepin suggesting that C. militaris is a light- sensitive fungus
and illumination conditions may inuence its growth and metabolite production. Dong
et al., (2013) investigated the inuence of pink (1/ 3 λ = 450– 460 nm + 2/ 3 λ = 620–
630 nm), red (λ = 620– 630 nm), and blue (λ = 450– 460 nm) light on the production of
fruiting bodies and biosynthetic activity of C. militaris in vitro. It was found that using
pink light increased both fruiting and proposed the production of high levels of adenosine, cordycepin, and carotenoids in the fruiting bodies of C. militaris. Kho et al. (2016)
investigated the effect of LED light (blue, green, yellow, red, and white) on the biosynthetic activity (biomass and extracellular polysaccharide production) of C. militaris
strain. The authors used ve LEDs: blue (460– 475 nm), green (515– 545 nm), yellow
(587– 595 nm), red (620– 645 nm), and white (380– 760 nm). It was installed that when
using red light, a maximum biomass concentration of 17.06 g/ L was obtained with a specic growth rate of 1.47 day
(2.4 g/ L) was obtained under blue light. Araújo et al. (2021) investigated the effect of
– 1
, while the highest amount of extracellular polysaccharide
green light on mycelial mass growth and extracellular enzyme activity of Pleurotus
species under submerged culture conditions. The light source was LED. During the
experiment, it was found that green light reduced the growth of mycelial biomass of all
species studied but increased the cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities. The cellulolytic
activity of most strains increased in the presence of green light, ranging from 1.5- fold
to 8- fold depending on the mushroom species. Green light reduces the laccase activity
of most strains. Mykchaylova et al. (2023) presented new data on photostimulatory
modes quasi- monochromatic light of biosynthetic activity for edible medicinal mushroom Hericium erinaceus IBK 977 in vitro. An articial lighting setup based on light-
emitting diode (LED) arrays with wavelengths λ = 470 nm (blue), λ = 530 nm (green),
and λ = 650 nm (red) was used. Authors report that the mycelium of H. erinaceus irradiation by low- intensity light at wavelengths of 470 nm, and 650 nm resulted in the reduction of the lag phase and an increase of the culture’s growth rate. The highest biomass
yield (12.1 g/ L) on the 12th day of cultivation was achieved with irradiation at a blue
light. Irradiation of the mycelium of H. erinaceus by all used wavelength ranges led to
an increase in the synthesis of both extra- and intracellular polysaccharides (Table 14.1).
The modes of irradiation with λ = 470 nm turned out to be the most effective.

In addition, the effect of low- intensity quasi- monochromatic light on the fatty acid
prole of the mycelial mass H. erinaceus was studied. In addition, the effect of low-
intensity quasi- monochromatic light on the fatty acid prole of the mycelial mass
H. erinaceus was studied. Comparative analysis of the lipid fraction of the mycelial
mass of H. erinaceus made it possible to establish that changes in the fatty acid prole
of the mycelium occurred during LED irradiation of different wavelengths. In the
control sample (without irradiation), the content of saturated fatty acids (SFA) was the
highest and amounted to 21.97%. During irradiation in all modes, the content of SFA
decreased. It should be noted that irradiation with all other modes used contributed
to an increase in newly formed polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), i.e., an improvement in the qualitative composition of PUFA. In particular, upon irradiation with green
(λ = 530 nm) and red light (λ = 650 nm), six PUFA absent in the control were identied
in the mycelial mass. When analyzing the data on the concentration of fatty acids
with a chain length of C18, can be noted oscillations in the levels of the content of
saturated stearic acid (С
polyunsaturated fatty acids linoleic acid (С
) and monounsaturated acids (MUFA) oleic acid (С
18:0
) under different light regimes. All the
18:2 ω6
18:1ω9
) and
above uctuations in the content of SFA, MUFA, and PUFA can be considered as the
result of enzymatic reactions of the inducible type. In response to the inuence of such
an environmental factor as irradiation, the cell synthesizes inducible enzymes, in this
case – desaturase (catalyzes the transformation of a single bond between carbon atoms
in acyl chains (C‒C) into double bonds (C= C). Selected modes of photostimulation of
biosynthetic activity can be used in the biotechnology of submerged cultivation of the
edible medicinal macromycete H. erinaceus to intensify the technological stages and
increase the yield of the nal product (mycelial mass, polysaccharides, and the group
of essential fatty acids).
Later, Mykchaylova et al. (2024) reported that irradiation of low- intensity quasimonochromatic light with blue (470 nm) and red (650 nm) LED resulted in a shortening
of the cultivation period and an increase in mycelial mass production for Lentinula
edodes. The accumulation of mycelial mass using blue light (LED) and red light was
12.5 g/ L and 11.9 g/ L and did not differ statistically. The use of green light was the least

412 Wild Edible Plants
effective of all modes, the accumulation of mycelial mass was 9.3 g/ L on the 10th day
of cultivation. Also, irradiation of inoculum with LED in all used wavelength ranges
caused an increase in the synthesis of both extra- and intracellular polysaccharides.
The most efcient modes of irradiation with blue light (470 nm) were found to be the
most effective. Under these regimes, the amount of extracellular polysaccharide accumulation increased compared to control (non- irradiated) by 39.8%. Irradiation with red
and green light induced an increase in the synthesis of extracellular polysaccharides by
37.4% and 22.1%, respectively. The same trend was observed when analyzing the concentration of intracellular polysaccharides in the mycelial mass. In addition, irradiation
with red and green LED light caused an increase in the total amount of fatty acids in the
mycelial mass compared to the control. A signicant difference in the qualitative composition was noticed: short- chain acids С6‒С12 were formed when irradiated with red
light, while with green light irradiation, long- chain acids С20‒С24. The greatest changes
in the aromatic prole of the mycelial mass and culture liquid were recorded upon
irradiation with green light. The content of aromatic components increased 24.6 times
in the mycelial mass and 38.5 times in the culture liquid. The results suggest the possibility of using low- intensity LED light for targeted regulation of L. edodes biosynthetic
activity.
The results of the analysis of literature data and our studies on the effect of light on
fungi of various large taxa (asco- and basidiomycetes) indicate the undoubted regulatory inuence of this factor on the morphogenesis and metabolism of fungi. It is safe to
say that light, especially blue light, can be used to regulate the growth and development
of edible mushrooms. Therefore, uncovering the molecular mechanism of photobiology
is of great importance to enhance the commercial value of edible mushrooms. Despite
certain successes in the practical application of articial light in growing mushrooms,
its use is limited to surface cultivation to increase the yield of fruiting bodies, and the
possibility of photoregulation with articial light during their submerged cultivation is
practically not used.
14.5 USE OF LASERS IN THE CULTIVATION OF
EDIBLE AND MEDICINAL MACROMYCETES
Currently, laser technologies have found great use in biotechnology as one of the most
dynamically developing areas of human activity. The possibility of targeted laser action
on intracellular processes is due to the selective effect of monochromatic light on
electrons of photosensitive structures and photoreceptors in fungi. The advantage of
laser radiation is the ability to create high spectral brightness of radiation, which is not
achieved when using conventional incoherent light sources. Such properties allow us to
discuss the possibility of implementing highly effective biotechnologies for obtaining
cultures with high biological activity and increased intra- and extracellular content of
biologically active substances. At the same time, the practical use of monochromatic
light in biotechnological processes is limited due to the lack of knowledge about the
mechanisms of action of light, effective wavelengths, and irradiation modes. Not all

Regulation of the Biological Activity of Medicinal Macromycetes 413
statements are indisputable; some are only theoretical hypotheses and concepts that
have not been fully conrmed. One of the controversial issues remains particularly the
specicity of low- intensity laser radiation on biological objects. There are currently two
main competing theories. The rst, the most popular, considers laser radiation as one of
the factors activating the body’s non- specic resistance, which should be explained from
the point of view of the integrity of the body. The second theory is based on the inuence of “specic” monochromatic light on certain special photoregulation systems that
exist to indirectly regulate the effect of sunlight on the animal body, i.e., they assume the
presence of photoacceptors (Karu, 1989; Karu et al., 1996).
The practical use of monochromatic light in biotechnological processes is limited
by the lack of information clearly dening the mechanisms of action of light, effective
wavelengths, and irradiation modes. Not all statements made on the biomechanism of
action of low- intensity laser radiation are indisputable; some of them are only theoretical hypotheses and concepts that have not been fully conrmed.
There is a hypothesis that the biostimulation effect of helium- neon laser (He- Ne
laser) radiation is associated with its absorption by the porphyrin- containing enzyme
catalase, which has a light absorption maximum of about 628 nm. Based on this
assumption, the parameters of laser radiation largely determine the body’s response.
The effect of stimulating growth and biological activity under the inuence of lowintensity radiation has been found in some bacteria and yeasts, as well as in many
species of higher plants and animals (Karu, 1994). When cells are exposed to a laser,
photophysical and photochemical reactions occur, associated with the absorption of
light energy and the disruption of weak molecular bonds, as well as the perception and
transfer of the effect of laser radiation by liquid media of the body. The presence of specic photoacceptors in biological tissues, in particular, porphyrins, cyclic nucleotides,
iron- and copper- containing enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase), redox cycle
enzymes, cytochromes, pigments, and other substances), increases the susceptibility of
biological tissues to laser radiation. The laser radiation causes; increased energization
of mitochondria (Atlante et al., 2021; Greco et al., 1991; Pastore et al., 1996; Vacca
et al., 1996); increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) formation; increased activity of
respiratory enzymes (catalase, cytochrome oxidase); activation of cell metabolism and
increase in their functional activity. The nal result of the photobiological process,
which consists of short- or long- term adaptation of the organism, is the response of
a biological object to laser exposure at the cellular and tissue level, and the exposure
itself plays the role of a trigger that starts the entire chain of transformations in the
biological object (Atlante et al., 2021; Scandalios et al., 2005). Therefore, secondary
manifestations and nal results expressed in the body’s reaction are diverse, although
the primary photoacceptor acts are quite simple and few. Stimulation of biosynthetic
processes can be an important point determining the effect of low- intensity laser radiation on the most essential functions of cells and tissues, vital processes, and regeneration (recovery). Low- intensity laser radiation stimulates the production of the universal
energy source ATP in mitochondria, accelerates the rate of its formation, and increases
the efciency of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. At the same time, the amount of
oxygen consumed decreases. Restructurings occur in mitochondrial membranes. Lowintensity laser radiation has an antioxidant effect.
It is known that the intensity of free radical oxidation in the lipid phase of cell
membranes is determined by the ratio of saturated and unsaturated lipids and the

414 Wild Edible Plants
viscosity of the lipid components of membranes, which change during laser therapy, that
is reected in structural changes in the membrane, its functional state, and the activity
of membrane- bound enzymes (Gagliardi et al., 1997). Despite the poor understanding
of the mechanism of the bioregulatory action of laser radiation, its use for practical
purposes has proven to be very successful in crop production (Aslam et al., 2022; Hassan
et al., 2022; Klimek- Kopyra et al., 2021). Among them, pre- sowing seed treatment has
the greatest practical importance. Experiments conducted with various crops suggest
the universality of this method. Some researchers noted the anti- stress effect of coherent
radiation, which was associated with an increase in the activity of respiratory enzymes
(superoxide reductase, glutathione reductase, peroxidase, and catalase).
For the rst time, research into the possibility of using coherent light for the
bioregulation of fungi was started by teams from the Institute of Botany named after
N.G. Kholodny and the Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of
Ukraine, also proving the promise of using articial light (coherent and incoherent) in
biotechnologies for the cultivation of edible and medicinal mushrooms (Mykchaylova
et al., 2023; Poyedinok, 2013; Poyedinok et al., 2015a, 2018). As a result of the authors’
research in this direction, a new direction has been developed for the use of low- intensity
articial light in the biotechnology of cultivating edible and medicinal mushrooms. It
has been established that short- term low- intensity radiation in the visible part of the
spectrum stimulates the growth and biosynthetic activity of macromycetes, which has
a prolonged effect, covering subsequent stages of ontogenesis from spores to mycelium. Based on this, highly effective methods for targeted regulation of the biosynthetic
activity of macromycetes and biotechnological intensication of different stages of their
cultivation using low- intensity light of different coherence and spectral composition
have been proposed, allowing to induce spore germination, reduce cultivation time,
reduce the amount of seed when inoculating substrates, increase the yield of biomass
and biologically active components during deep cultivation and the yield of fruiting
bodies and their quality during solid- phase cultivation.
Laser radiation at doses of 45– 230 mJ/ cm2 activated the process of spore germination in Hericium erinaceus, depending on the strain, by 10– 105 times (Poyedinok et al.,
2000, 2015a). Moreover, the more effective the laser action was, the lower the initial
percentage of spore germination was. A reduction in the germination time of irradiated
spores and the formation of aerial mycelium in various types of edible and medicinal
mushrooms was noted (Table 14.2). The use of low- intensity laser radiation as a stimulator made it possible to triple the growth rate of monosporic cultures of macromycetes.
The conducted studies made it possible to establish the effect of low- intensity laser
light obtained from various sources on the linear growth and accumulation of biomass
of vegetative mycelium by various types of macromycetes (Lentinus edodes, Pleurotus
ostreatus, Hericium erinaceus, Ganoderma lucidum, Inonotus obliquus, Agaricus
bisporus) (Mykchaylova et al., 2023; Poyedinok et al., 2013). It was noted that the
photobiological effect after irradiation of the mycelium is more clearly expressed when
fungi grow in a liquid medium. Irradiation of seed mycelium with blue and red light
leads to activating an increase in the growth rate of vegetative mycelium, reducting fermentation time during submerged cultivation (Table 14.3).
The results presented in Table 14.3 indicate the undoubted inuence of the cultivation method on the processes that determine quantitative changes in growth caused by
