Abstract

New species of medicinal mushrooms have emerged over the past several decades, such as the Sun mushroom, Agaricus subrufescens. Horticultural improvements are required to shift its cultivation from small-scale local production to large-scale international production. The research reported here evaluated the agronomic behavior and the chemical characteristics of the Sun mushroom as a function of i) nutritional supplementation ii) ruffling of the casing layer and iii) the temperature management on the primordia induction and reduction of the crop cycle. Supplementation was beneficial for yield, unit mushroom weigh and decrease in time to first harvest. Supplementation improved biological efficiency with Champfood providing a yield increase of 15% over the non-supplemented compost. Among the supplements only Promycel increased the individual mushroom weight. Ruffling overall improved the yield in the 2 nd and 4 th flush. Already biological efficiency was greater by 21%. The highest yield harvested in any single day in the crop occurred in 3 rd flush with the amount of 2.484 kg of mushrooms per m 2 for the rapid induction method. Still the biological efficiency was not significantly affected by the mushroom induction temperature method. Only the fat content of the mushrooms was positively affected by the rapid induction of primordia. Champfood supplement promotes a reduction in the value of earliness and an increase of 1 st flush yield. The ruffling technique provided an increase in biological efficiency due to the great number of mushrooms harvested. Rapid primordia induction allowed the crop cycle to end 3 days earlier than the slow primordia induction, providing a higher production rate.

Figures

Figure 1 (A) Temperature management used for slow and rapid primordia induction; (B) Yield obtained by flushes with slow and rapid induction of primordia (Factor 3). The picture demonstrates differences in pileus color (HEX value represents an international color code obtained by the measure of L *, a * and b *, https://www.nixsensor.com/free-color-converter/). Value of slow induction (L* 56.43, a* 8.55 and b* 19.74) and rapid induction (L* 59.56, a* 8.05 and b* 19.92). Production rate of slow induction was 0.67 kg dt−1 d−1 and rapid induction was 0.73 kg dt−1 d−1.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
