Fruiting of Agaricus bisporus Spawn on Non-kernel Medium

This experimentation compared the fruiting of Agaricus bisporus spawn from wheat kernel and non-wheat kernel media by cultivating the mushrooms on an expanded perlite based bed.Time for mycelia running,fruiting bodies occurrence and mushroom production in the compost-and-casing-soil bed were observed.The results showed that the A bisporus spawn from non-kernel medium grew normally with a similar productivity as its counterpart.
