Abstract: A range of composts differing in degree of degradation and nitrogen content, and suitable for the culture of Agaricus bisporus, were produced by subjecting a commercially prepared compost to further periods of composting at 45 or 55°C. Mycelial extension rates through compost (using the 'race-tube' technique) and fungal biomass estimated by measurement of the extracellular enzyme, laccase (E.C. 1.10.3.2) were related to differences in compost composition and mushroom yield.
