Editor wanted for academic book on commercial mushroom cultivation
Wageningen Academic Publishers is an independent publishing house (NL) in the field of life sciences, focusing mainly on animal and plant sciences, human consumption and health, agribusiness and sustainable agriculture.
We would like to publish a book on mushroom cultivation worldwide and are looking for potential editors. Preferably the editorial team would be international, and the authors chosen from both, science and industry. The content should:
- cover commercial breeds around the globe, both for consumption and health
- be written with a strong scientific and technical background (with references)
- contain clear and well-explained examples/case studies
- address scientists, industry, and consultants
- combine results from the newest research
- plus developments in the industry, and
- eventually case studies of successful and unsuccessful operations.
Several scientists from Europe agreed to contribute a chapter.
Our books and publications can be found onwageningenacademic.com.In case you are interested in such a project, please contact Mascha Sappok, from Wageningen Academic Publishers:[email protected]
ISMS participating at International Mushroom Days – July 6-8, Den Bosch, The Netherlands
In just a few months, the world’s biggest trade fair, The International Mushroom Days, will open its doors. The event will take place from 6 to 8 July 2022 in the Brabanthallen in 's-Hertogenbosch where it has been held for many years now.

COVID 19 has caused the cancellation of many international, national and regional mushroom industry events over the past couple of years. The Mushrooms Days Foundation and the exhibitors who support it, are to be commended for the courage they have shown to make this important event happen in these uncertain times.
As Foundation Chairman, Piet Lempens, commented, “We all feel the need to meet up again. As an organisation we will do our outmost best to make everyone feel at home with plenty of moments to catch up with friends within the industry. As much as Corona allows us, we will use the Mushroom Days to make this possible. So, keep an eye on our websitewww.mushroomdays.com”.
