Title: EFFECT OF THE METHOD OF SPAWN STORAGE OF SELECTED STRAINS OF FIELD MUSHROOM AGARICUS BISPORUS (LANGE) IMBACH ON YIELDING IN CONDITIONS OF COMMERCIAL CULTIVATION
Abstract. The influence of the storage method of Agaricus spawn on yielding was tested. Two strains of mushroom were used in the experiments: ‘Horst U3’ and ‘Somycel 516’. The spawn was stored on manure-peat medium, on rye grain, in liquid nitrogen and was also repeatedly passaged. Fourteen spawns stored using different methods were applied. Fresh spawn was treated as a control object. It was observed that the method of spawn refrigeration influenced the Agaricus yielding. The yields were the lowest when the spawn was stored for 16 weeks on rye grain at the temperature of 1-3°C and for 8 weeks at 4-6°C and after repeated passaging of the mycelium.
Key words: Agaricus bisporus, strain, spawn, method of storage, cultivation
