Title: Cropping Experiments to Test the Efficiency of Nutrient Translocation by Cultivated Mushrooms
Author: E.B. Lambert

Abstract:

During the past 10 years it has become increasingly apparent that under favorable growing conditions, deep beds will outyield shallow beds in short crops as well as in long crops. The purpose of this paper is to describe a series of studies supporting this view which show that Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Sing, can translocate nutrients from adjacent portions of a bed and from the compost at the bottom of deep beds with approximately the same efficency in short crops as in long crops. These studies also throw some light on the efficiency with which mushrooms can translocate nutrients through small openings.
