“…Several alternative methods have been developed to grow A. bisporus . They consist in preparing a non-composted sterilized or pasteurized substrate at different temperatures, for avoiding the long composting traditional procedure (Till 1962 ; Mee 1978 ; San Antonio 1971 ; Sanchez and Royse 2001 ; Bechara et al 2005 , 2006 ; Coello-Castillo et al 2009 ). However, none of them have been applied commercially.…”

The aim of this work was to determine if the self-heating pasteurization procedure is technically applicable to the cultivation of Agaricus bisporus. Firstly the substrates alone (corncob, Pangola grass and a mixture of both ingredients with wood shavings) were tested. Two supplementation trials were then undertaken using soybean, wheat bran, sheep manure, sesame seed, black bean and chia. Highest production values (BE = 176.3% and Y = 26.6 kg/m2) were obtained using a 9% supplement, with a formula consisting of 25% each of soybean, black bean, wheat bran and chia, added at spawning and at casing. These results were comparable to those obtained with the Phase II compost traditionally used for A. bisporus cultivation.

Three crops of Agaricus bisporus were grown on non-composted substrate (NCS), spent mushroom compost (SMC), a 50/50 mixture of NSC/SMC, or pasteurized Phase II compost. NCS consisted of oak sawdust (28% oven dry wt), millet (29%), rye (8%), peat (8%), ground alfalfa (4%), ground soybean (4%), wheat bran (9%) and CaCO 3 (10%). Substrates were nonsupplemented or supplemented with Target Ò (a commercial delayed release nutrient for mushroom culture) or soybean meal at spawning or casing, or with Micromax Ò (a mixture of nine micronutrients) at spawning. Mushroom yield (27.2 kg/m 2 ) was greatest on a 50/50 mixture of NCS/SMC supplemented with 10% (dry wt) Target Ò at casing. The same substrate supplemented with Target Ò at spawning yielded 20.1 kg/m 2 . By comparison, mushroom yield on Phase II compost supplemented at casing or at spawning with Target Ò was 21.6 kg/m 2 and 20.6 kg/m 2 , respectively. On NCS amended with 0.74% or 0.9% Micromax Ò at spawning, yields increased by 51.8% (12.9 kg/m 2 ) and 71.8% (14.6 kg/m 2 ), respectively, over non-amended NCS (8.5 kg/m 2 ). Conversely, mushroom yields were not affected when Micromax Ò was added to a 50/50 mixture of NCS/SMC. Mushroom solids content was higher in mushrooms harvested from NCS amended with 0.74% Micromax Ò (9.6%) compared to non-amended NCS (8.3%).
