abstract edible white button mushroom is a secondary decomposer and the activity of other micro-organisms is necessary to decompose the raw compounds for its growth. actinomycetes bacteria due to their ability to decompose the compound molecules such as cellulose, lingo-cellulose and lignin, play an important role in the composting process for the mushroom. bacterial biomass of actinomycetes co...

Supplementation of mushroom compost at spawning and at casing with various refined and crude seed oils resulted in 1 to 1.5 lb/ft increases in mushroom yield. Supplementation at casing with ground seeds or protein-oil combinations caused 2 to 2.5 lb/ft increases in mushroom yield. Further evidence is presented for a relationship between lipid metabolism and the initiation of fruiting in the cul...

more nitrogen use efficiency in crops is important for maintaining and developing sustainable agriculture. in order to study the effect of different levels of mushroom compost and different resource of nitrogen on yield, yield attributes and nitrogen use efficiency of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was conducted at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, durin...
