“…In contrast to the present experiments where no effect of 0 2 concentration during pasteurization on subsequent mushroom mycelial growth and sporophore yield was found, Houdeau et al (1991) found that an anaerobic phase in the high temperature composting process developed by Laborde et al (1986Laborde et al ( , 1989 significantly increased mushroom yield. However, they could not exclude the possibility that the air supply in the aerated control treatment was too strong.…”

“…However, mushroom yields from such short duration substrates have generally been lower than those from traditional Phase 1/Phase II composts (Smith 1983;Miller et al 1990;Noble and Gaze 1994). Laborde et al (1986) developed a system w ith an initial controlled high temperature (70-80°C) phase, as an attempt to simulate the temperatures found in Phase I stacks and to produce a high yielding substrate. Compost processed at a lower temperature (45-47°C) was used as a microfloral inoculum since temperatures above 65-680C for several hours destroy the microflora (fungi and actinomycetes) necessary to produce a compost selective for mushroom growth (Fermor et al 1985).…”

Conventional composting for mushroom cultivation involves a largely uncontrolled phase in which there are wide variations in temperature and oxygen level, resulting in the production of odor pollutants. The experiments reported in this paper investigated environmental conditions for compost preparation in an attempt to minimize odor production. Substrates for mushroom culture were prepared in flasks under controlled temperature and aeration. The temperature (48 to 72°C), 0 2 concentration (0.6 to 8.7 percent v /v) and duration (6 or 20 h) of an initial pasteurization phase were varied before all the substrates were given a standard aerated conditioning period at 47°C Compost decomposition, initial mineralization rates of 14 C labelled glutamic acid (a measure of microbial activity) and actinomycete and fungal populations all decreased as the pasteurization temperature increased from 48°C to 72°C The duration and 0 2 concentration of the pasteurization treatment did not affect the overall decomposition of the substrate, mineralization of 14 C labelled glutamic acid and subsequent mushroom mycelial extension rate and yield from the substrate. Under the controlled temperature conditions, the optimum pasteurization temperature for mushroom mycelial extension rate and sporophore yield was 60°C but possible benefits of higher temperature zones in a large stack situation were identified: 1) a higher concentration of ammonia which may assist substrate degradation over a prolonged period; 2) the development of high populations of intercellular bacteria following pasteurization at 72°C, 0.6 percent 02; 3) the recovery of low rates of mineralization of 14 C labelled glutamic acid following the pasteurization of substrate at 72°C to rates above those of the 48°C and 60°C pasteurization treatments.

“…I n mushroom composting, high temperature (75-80°C) has been traditionally viewed as necessary to induce Maillard reactions (browning reactions of carbohvdrates: referred to as 'caramelisation' in older mushroom literature) and the fixing of free ammonia through reaction with carbohydrates and lignatious polymers Hauser 1950, 1953;Laborde et al 1987). Sinden and Hauser (1953) even proposed that Phase I was predominantly a chemical, rather than a biological, process.…”

Mushroom compost was prepared using an enclosed, environmentally controlled composting (ECC) method, designed to promote rapid substrate d e c o n~p o s i t i o n and subsequent establishment of ecological conditions favourable to mushroom culture. Composting aerobically. usually at 54OC early in processing followed by 47OC for the majority of processing. produced a compost ready for spawning in 6-8 days. Final c o m p o s t had a bulk density of 486 kg/ni.i (range 440-510 kg/ni3) at 70.4% moisture (range 66-75%) and produced average fresh mushroom yields of 19.4 kg per bed m2 (range 22.7-17.3/m2), or 0.66 kg per kg dry compost, in a 3 flush cropping cycle. Disease, or growth of competitive fungi, was not observed. Composting odours were greatly reduced compared to traditional methods. The processing control and uniformity of the ECC method offer much potential for detailed investigation into compost production and ecological and chemical factors in mushrooni nutrition.

“…In the present case it involved two phases. The first phase, adapted from Laborde et al (1986) and Gerrits and van Griensven (1990), consists of two steps: 1) a low temperature treatment (45-47°C) designed to ensure the rapid development of thermophilic microflora (fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes) in fundamentally aerobic conditions of high humidity; this flora breaks down the organic matter to release large quantities of sugars and amino acids, and 2) treatment at 70ºC; this allows chemical reactions to occur that contribute to the ultimate selectivity of the compost towards the cultivated mushroom (Laborde et al, 1986). Phase II follows the conventional practices of pasteurisation and subsequent thermophilic conditioning.…”

This paper describes a new technique for producing high quality, low cost organic substrates for use in the cultivation of the most widely consumed edible mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach. With production, economic and environmental concerns in mind, the aim of this work was to provide fresh impetus to the edible fungus industry by introducing alternative materials to those traditionally used in substrate production: in this case waste products from grape growing and wine making (vine shoots, grape stalks and grape pomace). These were composted under controlled conditions. While no more biologically efficient than traditional compost, the agronomic assessment of the alternative indoor substrates (performed using different proportions of grape stalks and vine shoots as base materials and using two varieties of Agaricus bisporus) showed them to be economically viable (their use reduces costs) and environmentally advantageous (their use reduces the emission of volatile compounds).
