The bachelor thesis focuses on the optimization of the cultivation of the lion's mane mushroom on cereal and pseudocereal substrates with the aim of determining nutritional parameters, antioxidant capacity and overall biological activity. Amaranth, barley groats, maize flour, buckwheat, white and red quinoa and wheat bran were chosen as suitable substrates. The theoretical part of this work focused on the description of the rare fungus and especially its bioactive secondary metabolites. The cultivation conditions were also characterized and the substrates used in the experimental part were introduced. Experimentally, the cultivation method with the highest mycelial yield of the lion's mane mushroom was determined. The method that utilized solid mycelium for inoculation was evaluated as the most effective. It was therefore used to culture mycelia on all selected cereals and pseudocereals. The analyzed nutritional parameters were first determined in the substrates themselves and then in substrates enriched with lion's mane mushroom using suitable analytical methods. Similarly, biologically active substances and antioxidant capacity were also determined. The evaluation of the results allowed the characterisation of the enriched substrates and the resulting recommendations for the application of the lion's mane mushroom in the field of nutrition.
