I wanted to begin a discussion on the specific nutrients utilized by growing fruit bodies. Not procedures, special mixtures, or new substrates.
Though, using well known and already established substrates as a basis for discussion may be a good place to start.
So let's begin by discussing the nutrients found in Brown Rice Flour.

The data on this nutritional site shows incomplete proteins (though only missing one type: Hydroxyproline "Trace elements")
Low Amounts (anything under 2 milligrams)
Vitamins and Minerals:
-Vitamin C (Trace elements)-Vitamin E
-Vitamin B6
-Vitamin B12 (Trace elements)
-Alcohol (Trace elements)
-Cholesterol (Trace elements)
-Copper
-Folate (Trace elements)
-Folic Acid
-Retinol (trace elements)
-Riboflavin
-Thiamin
Low in Sugars: (Trace elements)
-Sucrose
-Glucose
-Fructose
-Lactose
-Maltose
-Galactose
--------------------------------------------------
High amount of carbohydrates and proteins.
High Amounts (anything above 2 milligrams)
Vitamins and Minerals:
-Calcium
-Dietary Fiber
-Iron
-Magnesium
-Manganese
-Niacin
-Phosphorus
-Potassium
-Sodium
-Zinc
Fats:
-Monounsaturated Fat
-Polyunsaturated Fat
-Saturated Fat
-Omega-3 fatty acids
-Omega-6 fatty acids
Proteins:
-Tryptophan
-Threonine
-Isoleucine
-Leucine
-Lysine
-Methionine
-Cystine
-Phenylalanine
-Tyrosine
-Valine
-Arginine
-Histidine
-Alanine
-Aspartic acid
-Glutamic acid
-Glycine
-Proline
-Serine
---------------------------------------
It would SEEM that: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are the most important.
But just how important are each of these as well as the other high, low, trace element, and other nutrients perhaps not even mentioned above?
