Abstract: Research into the role of casing layer on the formation of sporophores in the cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus (LANGE) SING, has been carried out broadly along two lines viz. microbiological factors promoting the initiation of sporophores (EGER, 1972; HAYES et al., 1969; HAYES, 1972; O'DONOGHUE, 1962; PARK and AGNIHOTHRI, 1969; URAYAMA, 1961) and concentrations of gaseous oxygen and carbon dioxide affecting the formation of sporophores (LAMBERT, 1933; LONG and JACOBS, 1969; TSCHIRPE, 1959, 1973; TSCHIERPE and SINDEN, 1964, 1965). There has not been any attempt at finding out the interactions between microbiological and physical factors of the casing layer responsible for initiation and development of sporophores. The recent work of NAIR and HAYES (1974) is the first instance where such an interaction has been experimentally shown to influence the formation of mushroom sporophores.
