second assumption was conrmed. 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, specic 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 unied 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 scientically 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 inuence 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 inuence 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 conrmed 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 specic 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 difcult to determine the effect of specic 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, efcient 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 inuence 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 signicant 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 inuenced 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 signicantly 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 efciency 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 inuence 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 efciency (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 signicant 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 inuence its growth and metabolite production. Dong et al., (2013) investigated the inuence 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 spe­cic growth rate of 1.47 day (2.4 g/ L) was obtained under blue light. Araújo et al. (2021) investigated the effect of

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 articial 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 prole of the mycelial mass H. erinaceus was studied. In addition, the effect of low- intensity quasi- monochromatic light on the fatty acid prole 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 prole 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 identied 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 inuence 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 (CC) 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 efcient 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 signicant 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 prole 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 inuence 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 articial light in growing mushrooms, its use is limited to surface cultivation to increase the yield of fruiting bodies, and the possibility of photoregulation with articial 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 conrmed. One of the controversial issues remains particularly the specicity 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- specic resistance, which should be explained from the point of view of the integrity of the body. The second theory is based on the inu­ence of “specic” 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 dening 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 conrmed.
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 inuence 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 spe­cic 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 efciency 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 reected 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 articial 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 articial 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 intensication 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 inuence of the cultiva­tion method on the processes that determine quantitative changes in growth caused by
