Abstract
Esta monografía revisa el papel de los hongos comestibles en la agricultura, enfocándose en su capacidad para controlar plagas agrícolas además de producir alimentos saludables. Los hongos, pertenecientes al reino Fungi, son organismos heterótrofos que descomponen la materia orgánica y se dispersan a través de esporas y fragmentos de hifas. Los insecticidas sintéticos presentan limitaciones y riesgos para el medio ambiente y la salud del ser humano. Por esto, se busca utilizar hongos comestibles como alternativa biocida segura. Estos hongos no solo son nutritivos, sino que también tienen actividad insecticida y nematicida, siendo una opción no tóxica de control. Además, los hongos comestibles pueden descomponer contaminantes, lo que los hace valiosos para la biorremediación. En resumen, se presenta una lista de hongos comestibles con actividad insecticida y nematicida incorporando sus mecanismos de acción y metabolitos secundarios con propiedades biocidas, los convierten en una alternativa prometedora para disminuir el uso de agroquímicos y fomentar la sostenibilidad en la agricultura.
This monograph reviews the role of edible fungi in agriculture, focusing on their ability to control agricultural pests in addition to producing healthy foods. Fungi, belonging to the kingdom Fungi, are heterotrophic organisms that decompose organic matter and disperse through spores and hyphal fragments. Synthetic insecticides present limitations and risks to the environment and human health. For this reason, we seek to use edible mushrooms as a safe biocidal alternative. These fungi are not only nutritious, but also have insecticidal and nematicidal activity, making them a non-toxic control option. Additionally, edible mushrooms can break down contaminants, making them valuable for bioremediation. In summary, a list of edible mushrooms with insecticidal and nematicidal activity is presented, incorporating their mechanisms of action and secondary metabolites with biocidal properties, making them a promising alternative to reduce the use of agrochemicals and promote sustainability in agriculture.
