This paper presents the results of granulometric analyses of sawdust of unmodified and thermally- modified ash wood (Fraxinus exelsior L.) sawed on a narrow-kerf sash gang saw. The sawdust of dry thermally-modified ash produced in the sawing process on a frame sawing machine PRW15-M at a feed speed in the range of 0.36-1.67 m·min-1 has chip granularity ranging from 33.5 μm to 9.9 mm; whereas unmodified ash wood sawdust consists of chips in a granularity range from 35.6 μm to 13.8 mm. It was observed that thermally-modified ash sawdust is finer, with a distinctly larger share of the fraction in the granularity range a = 125-500 μm and a slightly increased share of the fraction in the range a = 32-125 μm. Changes in mechanical characteristics of modified wood were also observed in the technological usefulness of a part of dry sawdust chip in the granularity range a = 250 μm-2.4 mm. While the homogenous share of chips in sawdust produced in the process of sawing of dry ash wood was HSCha = 81-84 %, the demonstrated homogenous share of chips in ash sawdust formed in the process of sawing of dry thermally-modified wood was lower by 4-6 %.
The objects of our investigations were two strains of H. erinaceus, HI and D5, grown on substrates from beech, oak and birch sawdust. The following parameters were determined in the carpophores of examined mushrooms: contents of dry matter, protein, fat and carbohydrates as well as concentration of volatile compounds.Contents of dry matter, protein and fat did not differ in carpophores of the examined H. erinaceus strains. However, in comparison with the carpophores of the D5 strain, carpophores of the HI strain had higher content of carbohydrates. The type of sawdust used as a substrate influenced the content of dry matter, protein, fat and carbohydrates in the carpophores. The carpophores developed on beech and oak sawdust substrates contained more mentioned components than those which grew on birch substrate. This was characteristic for both of examined mushroom strains.The total of nine volatile compounds was identified in the carpophores of H. erinaceus. The dominant compound was l-octen-3-ol which constituted 56-60% of their total amount.
