Patentes sobre cogumelos

[KClO3]

Olá!

Costumo pesquisar patentes online de vez em quando, para auxilio em pesquisas para trabalhos acadêmicos da universidade e com o tempo percebi que servidores de patentes são uma ótima fonte de informação sobre qualquer tipo de informação técnica que você queira, inclusive sobre cogumelos, fungos e assuntos relacionados.

Tópico relacionado: 6 passos para registrar patente de seu produto no Brasil

Vou apresentar aqui algumas patentes que encontrei (pdf em anexo).. As primeiras são do Brasil e podem interessar a algumas pessoas (em especial Mortandello):

Pat. n° BR08021192A

Título: Kit para sistema de cultivo de cogumelos.

Kit para sistema de cultivo de cogumelos. Possibilitando que interessados consigam a produção em nível pessoal ou residencial de cogumelos de variadas espécies, sem a necessidade de profundos conhecimentos técnicos nessa área, sendo um kit composto por um pote mantido hermeticamente fechado, porém com meios para receber, em seu ambiente interno, a inoculação de esporos da espécie desejada, esperando tempo determinado para o aparecimento dos fungos, para que, após a colonização, os fungos sejam transferidos para bandejas com adição do substrato e, em seguida, para sacos plásticos, formando estufas em ambiente propício para o desenvolvimento dos cogumelos. Com o sistema, mesmo sem profundos conhecimentos, em 20 dias pode ser efetuado o cultivo de até 600 gramas de cogumelos frescos das mais variadas espécies, além do sistema favorecer o aprendizado no processo de crescimento dessas plantas.

Pat. n° WO/1989/005574

Título: METHOD FOR THE CULTIVATION OF MUSHROOMS

A method is provided for the cultivation of mushrooms and other edible fungi. The method involves seeding a compost layer with a mushroom inoculum and covering discrete areas or patches of the c ompost layer with a casing material. It is preferred that the areas of the compost layer not covered with the casing material are covered with a non-casing material. The method results in a substantial reduction in the amount of casing material used with no substantial decrease in the quantity of mushrooms produced. The method also enables the mushrooms to be cultivated in an orderly arrangement which assists in the production of a higher quality crop.

Pat. n° EP0407142A1

Título: Method for promoting mushroom growth

A method of improving the yield of mushrooms which comprises supplementing the compost with an effective amount of a salt of an aliphatic, alicyclic or heterocyclic carboxylic acid, said salt being a calcium salt and/or a salt with an aliphatic, alicyclic or heterocyclic amine.

Pat. n° EP0572671A1

Título: Process for producing artificial bed log for shiitake

A process for the industrial mass-production of a high-efficiency artificial bed log for cultivating high-quality "shiitake" stably in a high yield, which process comprises cultivating shiitake hyphae in a culture vessel and taking the resultant mycelial pellets from the vessel when the hyphae spread in the culture medium in such a manner that the surface of the medium becomes smooth and whitened the oxygen concentration in the vessel exceeds 6.0 %.

Pat. n° US3335521

Título: Method for cultivation of champignons

The invention relates to a method of cultivating champignons from pasteurized compost by mixing nutrient medium of organic nature being vaccinated or injected with champignon mycellium, applying of a covering layer on the thus developed substratum for stimulating of a fruit-knot formation, as well as storage at a given temperature, until such fruit-knot formation; furthermore the invention relates to devices for performing such method.

Pat. n° US3865695

Título: Culture of mycelium

A method and means for keeping a culture of mycelium in a sterilized container, constituted by a plurality of bags nesting within one another and the edges of which are pleated together repeatedly in substantially bellow shape. The innermost bag is advantageously a perforated bag of yielding transparent plastics carrying the mycelium and inserted in one of two outer bags of paraffin-impregnated paper enclosed in a strong paper bag. Such a bag system may be stored for subsequent delivery.

Pat. n° US4027427

Título: Method and apparatus for the production of spawn

A method and equipment to implement said method for the production of microbes on a solid or liquid substrate, particularly mushroom mycelium growing on a grain substrate, the latter known as "mushroom spawn", are provided wherein the spawn is grown in a transparent, heat sterilizable plastic bag with a temporary screw-on closure thereon. The finished spawn is prepared for market merely by removing the reusable temporary closure and closing the top of the plastic bag container.

Pat. n° US4313278

Título: Mushroom growing

A mushroom growing method and apparatus in which a tray is filled with compost mixed with mushroom spawn, and the compost is covered with a layer of casing medium. The tray is supported horizontally while the mycelium colonizes the casing medium, and is then supported in an upright disposition under mushroom growing conditions so that the mushrooms grow from the upright face of the consolidated casing medium. Two trays may be supported back-to-back in an upright disposition against a stanchion. Alternatively, the trays may be hinged together and lifted to rest against each other back-to-back. The casing medium layer is watered by wicks dipping into water containers.

Pat. n° US4852297

Título: Method and article of manufacture for producing mushrooms from self contained vessels

A method and system for growing tree mushrooms indoors, from within self contained vessels. An enclosed cylindrical container houses a colony of mushroom mycelium and rehydrated nutritive substrate. Said container is surrounded by cloth/fabric with water absorbent properties. When holes are made through the fabric and container the mycelium colony is stimulated to produce mushrooms. The apparatus is then partially submerged in a shallow reservoir of water. Moisture absorbed from the fabric then supplies the mushrooms with required moisture for development. The method consists of filling the container with a substrate (such as whole grain), adding an appropriate volume of water through a hole in the container, and covering the hole with an adhesive membrane, then sterilizing the container and contents. After cooling, appropriate fungus is inoculated to the substrate and is incubated at a required temperature for an appropriate time period. Water absorbent fabric is then attached to the external circumference of the container.

Pat. n° WO1998054948A1

Título: SELENIUM ENRICHMENT OF MUSHROOMS

Addition of selenium in the growth substrate of mushroom results in the accumulation of selenium in the mushroom. The postharvest shelf life studies show that the selenium-rich mushrooms were whiter and resisted browning more than control mushrooms.
