Title: Influence of urea and ammonium chloride on crop yield and fruit body size of shiitake (Lentinula edodes)
Author: P.R. Kalberer

Abstract:

The supplementation of a sawdust-corn flour subsfrate with urea or ammonium chloride increased the crop yield. From supplemented substrates heavier fruit bodies were harvested. The duration of the incubation influenced the crop yield and the size of the fruit bodies. The supplements slowed down the spawn mn and prolonged the incubation. Urea added to the substrate caused the failure of some primordia to develop and the deformation of some fruit bodies.
