Abstract: Many workers have sought to explain the stimulus of casing to sporophore formation of A. bisporus as being related to its physico-chemical properties. Eger (1963) the first suggested that the stimulus is associated with the presence of micro-organisms. Urayama (1967) found that the presence of a. Bacillus sp. stimulated sporophore formation and from it he isolated a metabolite which induced the development of A. bisporus sporophores. Hayes, Rändle, and Last (1967) confirmed with Pseudomonas putida the properties of micro-organisms of stimulating fruit-body formation. Park and Agnihotri have suggested that the production of A. bisporus sporophores can be stimulated by a diverse range of bacteria. This work is a continuation of research on the effects produced by different groups of micro-organisms alone or in combination. The treatment of the culture of A. bisporus in trays with certain microorganisms increased mycelial density, reduced the time to first picking and increased the yield of mushrooms. We could find no valuable bibliography on the mutual effect between microalgae and Hymenomycetes. In these experiments the results have been interesting: the addition of Scenedesmus quadricauda freeze-dried to compostât casingincreased production.
