The study titled “Effects of Different Growing Media Containing Celery on Pleurotus Ostreatus”, prepared by our 11th graders Eren Alp GÜMÜŞ and Deniz ÖZDEMİR, made it to the Türkiye finals of the 30th Dr. İbrahim Arıkan MEF Educational Institutions Research Projects Competition. This time, our students’ study was selected for the V. International Conference on International Agricultural, Biologıcal and Life Sciences at AGBIOL 2023 Conference and was presented online.
Their aim was to contribute to the mushroom production industry by increasing both sustainability and efficiency through the use of food waste in different growing environments. In the study, the effects of different growing environments on the size and volumetric properties, the development period of mycelial , the formation period of primordium, the period of harvest, fertility and biological activities of P. ostreatus mushroom (Oyster mushroom) were examined. As a result of this study, they succeeded in increasing the development, fertility and biological activities of oyster mushrooms.
We congratulate Eren Alp GÜMÜŞ and Deniz ÖZDEMİR for their study, and thank our advisor teacher Duygu KESER and our families for supporting our students.
