Cultivation of button mushroom

The main edible mushroom is the button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), a perfect example of economical food production which is manufactured on a specific manure delivered from farming residue materials. In mushroom cultivation successive microbial community consists of a variety of microorganisms including bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi at first breakdown the straw to form lignin humus complex and discharge the gases, and then metabolise the cellulose and hemicellulose into compost microbial biomass.

Different silkworm residues in combination with paddy straw were evaluated for button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus Lange) production. The substrate was prepared by substituting silk worm leaf litter, silk worm excreta and spent silk moth residue with paddy straw at 25 and 50 percents. The yield and bio-efficiency of button mushroom was found to be highest in control treatment, paddy straw (927 g per 5.00 kg substrate and 61.80%, respectively) and the yield was ranged between 890 and 760 g per 5.

The white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) is very popular throughout the world and is the most important mushroom of commercial significance in India. It can be successfully cultivated in places where the environmental conditions are favorable but it is cultivated in North India in winter seasons due to the favorable conditions. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth is 20°C -25°C and that for fruit body formation 15°C - 20°C and a high percentage of relative humidity (80-85%).
