Science & Technology articles.

Mushroom News publishes a series of peer reviewed scientific articles entitled, "Science and Technology" which deals with all aspects of adaptive and basic research on edible mushrooms. Papers to be published in this category are reviewed for scope, merit, originality and style by a panel of scientists knowledgeable in the discipline. Only those research papers judged to be of the highest quality and scientific merit will be accepted for publication.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Since the inception of the series in January 1996, 17 papers have been reviewed. Researchers from Argentina, Canada, England and the United States have published works on topics that range from pest control to spent mushroom substrate (SMS) disposal.

We hope the original papers presented in the Science and Technology series help scientists working in the field share information and help growers improve production techniques.
