“…According to the expression studies by Patyshakuliyeva et al (2015) at least 16 exoenzymes are expressed to degrade lignocellulose. Bechara and colleagues (B echara et al . 2011) experimented with the production of button mushrooms on several grain types.…”

A number of experiments were done to further our understanding of the substrate utilization in button mushroom crops (Agaricus bisporus). An analysis of the degradation of dry matter of the substrate during a crop cycle revealed that for pin formation the upper layer is used, for the production of flush one all layers are involved and for flush two mainly the lower layer is used. A reduction in substrate depth leads to a decrease in yield/m2 but an apparent increase in yield per ton of substrate but with a lower mushroom quality. A short daily interruption of the connection between the casing soil with all the substrate results in a delay of the first flush. Repetitive interruption of the connection with all or only part of the substrate leads to a shift in yield from flush one to flush two but the total yield remains unchanged. The mycelial biomass in the substrate increases from filling up to pinning, a steeper increase during flush one, levelling off during flush two, indicating that in the period of venting and up to/including flush one, enzymes are secreted by growing hyphae generating nutrients to feed a fixed amount of mushroom biomass for two flushes. A sidewise extension of the substrate (without casing soil, thus not producing mushrooms) showed that the substrate at a distance more than 20-50 cm away from the casing soil does not contribute to feeding mushrooms in the first two flushes. The observations are discussed with respect to relevant previous research.

“…Noble and Dobrovin-Pennington [ 28 ] used this information to develop a peat substitute for use in casing soil, based on fine particle coal tailings (a predominantly rock particle by-product obtained from dewatered suspensions in coal washing plants, with similar clay-like texture to sugar beet lime). Bechara et al [ 29 ] tested activated charcoal as a component of casing soil in their efforts to develop a system for mushroom cultivation based on non-composted substrates [ 30 , 31 ]…”

Critical Factors Involved in Primordia Building in Agaricus bisporus: A Review

et al. 2020

The button mushroom Agaricus bisporus is an economically important crop worldwide. Many aspects of its cultivation are well known, except for the precise biological triggers for its fructification. By and large, for most basidiomycete species, nutrient availability, light and a drop in temperature are critical factors for fructification. A. bisporus deviates from this pattern in the sense that it does not require light for fructification. Furthermore its fructification seems to be inhibited by a self-generated factor which needs to be removed by microorganisms in order to initiate fruiting. This review explores what is known about the morphogenesis of fruiting initiation in A. bisporus, the microflora, the self-inhibitors for fruiting initiation and transcription factors involved. This information is subsequently contrasted with an overall model of the regulatory system involved in the initiation of the formation of primordia in basidiomycetes. The comparison reveals a number of the blank spots in our understanding of the fruiting process in A. bisporus.
