Abstract: Biological oxidation is a vital process in living cells. In the study of variation in cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, we have found some extremely slowly growing isolates which are not able to produce fruit-bodies (Peng, et al., 1971 ; Peng, 1971). They seem to resemble the poky mutant of Neurospora in their retarded mycelial growth though the genetic control mechanisms may not be the same (Tissieres, et al., 1953). Since we are interested in genetic control of fructification, ideas have been put forth attempting to equate the biochemical events in the process of fructification with genetic make up of the fungus. Thus, the work is undertaken to study the respiratory changes in the process of fructification of A. bisporus prior to clarifying the nature of slowly growing isolates mentioned above. In this paper, we present some preliminary observations on highly productive strains of cultivated mushroom.
