General
- The
mushroom growing process, sphagnum peat amended with calcium carbonate
added on top of mushroom mycelia-colonized substrate (compost) is called
casing soil.
- Casing is
a top-dressing applied to the spawn-run compost on which the mushrooms
eventually form.
- Clay-loam
field soil, a mixture of peat moss with ground limestone, or reclaimed
weathered, spent compost can be used as casing.
- Casing
does not need nutrients since casing act as a water reservoir and a
place where rhizomorphs form.
Process
- The
number & yeild of mushrooms increased when leucine, sodium chloride &
yeast extract were added to the casing at 10ppm at three day intervals
for seven weeks.
- The size
of the fruiting bodies were also found to be larger than that of check
treatment.
- The best
yeild was obtained when the trays were treated with yeast extract.
Market
- The white
button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) accounts for 99 percent of all the
mushrooms grown in the U.S. Specialty varieties, such as the shiitake
and the oyster mushroom.
- There are
5 or 6 mid-sized farms producing 5 million to 20 million pounds
annually, and about 100 farms each producing 1 million to 5 million
pounds annually. U.S. specialty mushroom production is dominated by six
farms.
- The
Australian government’s changing policy on tariffs has had a significant
impact on the mushroom industry.
- The only
main concentration of operations is in the Hawkesbury district of
Sydney, with about half the nation’s farms and 40% of production is
mushroom.
Application
-
Mushroom compost
is used extensively as a substrate for growing mushrooms in the UK and
typically consists of straw, animal manure and additives such as chalk,
covered by a casing layer of peat.
-
It is useful in
life terms of growing mushrooms, spent mushroom compost retains many
properties that are of benefit in soil improvement.
-
Relatively small
quantities of spent mushroom compost are therefore used by mainstream
producers of branded soil improver products and this material has been
captured in the surveys of producer supply data.
