Abstract: The possibility of growing mushroom mycelium in submerged culture was investigated because of the large quantities of low-cost potential growth media available in Florida in the form of citrus press water. The mycelium of Agaricus blazei (M) has been grown in submerged culture on orange juice, citrus press water, and synthetic media. Nutritionally, the mycelium compares favorably with some food sources rich in amino acids and B vitamins. The mycelium, when prepared as a food, lacks the true mushroom flavor; however, because of its bland taste it might be useful for pharmaceutical concentrates of B vitamins and amino acids.
