Title: Experiments with Casing Soils, Water Supply and Climate
Author: H.C. Bels-Koning

Abstract:

The majority of commercial mushroom growers obtain beds of compost fully grown with mycelium, but their yields of mushrooms differ greatly. A few scattered results are known of 400 kg. per ton of fresh manure. Such results are rare, but they exist. They show that the compost must contain food for many more mushrooms than are generally obtained. How can we get those additional mushrooms? In this paper we will presume that the compost really contains all necessary elements and consider only the factors outside it, viz., casing soil and climate.
