<p>This invention relates to the stimulation of mushroom growth by the supplementation of nutrients utilized by the mushroom. If the nutrients are admixed into the compost before spawning of the mycelium, the extent of stimulation is necessarily limited by the heat evolution, by the stimulation of competing microorganisms, and by the fact that the stimulation of mushroom growth seems to be restricted primarily to the first several flushes. If the nutrients are added at the time of casing, the heat evolution caused by the increased metabolic rates of the mushroom mycelium, the practical difficulties in mixing, the danger of the spread of pathogens or the stimulation of competing molds renders supplementation at this stage impractical for commercial utilization. This invention provides a means of providing nutrients to enhance the growth of mushroom mycelium whereby the nutrients are admixed into the compost at the period of spawning, without the above mentioned problems. According to this invention, denatured protein is used as a nutrient supplement for the stimulation of the growth of mushroom mycelium. The denatured protein is admixed into the compost growing medium before or shortly after spawning. A synergistic effect is attained by admixing a vegetable oil, or fish oil with the denatured protein.</p> |
