Transcript As mushrooms consist of up to 98% water, maintaining the proper humidity is crucial. In the button mushroom industry, this is achieved by providing a water reservoir in the form of a casing layer on top of the compost. As the mushrooms grow, the casing layer is getting dryer and dryer. Water is sprayed … Continue reading Applying drip irrigation growing mushrooms
https://youtu.be/22ZTJ3XAjwA Transcript Agaricus bisporus, known as the button mushroom, is one of the most widely produced mushrooms worldwide. As this mushroom is a secondary decomposer, it grows only on already decomposed substrates which traditionally consists of straw, manure, gypsum, and urea. To make viable mushroom cultivation using alternative raw materials, one must consider the availability, … Continue reading Classical Substrate vs. Synthetic Substrate | White Button Mushroom
https://youtu.be/zCffcc0vU-o Transcript The commercial production system of Agaricus bisporus relies entirely on composting to generate a mushroom-specific substrate. This process is energy, time, and labor-intensive and releasing odor and high nutrients into the environment. The goal of many researchers is, therefore, to find alternative processes and or substrates, which reduces on the one side the … Continue reading Composted substrate VS Non-composted substrate | Button Mushroom
