Dr. Fahrettin GÜCÎN In this study, the effect of some nutrients added to synthetic compost with wheat straw, on mycelium growth, yield and early ripe of Agaricus bisporus (Lge.) sing, were investigated. The compost was prepared by fermentation and chemical disinfection methods. Wheat flour, corn flour, hen grain and residue of crushed soybean and sunflower seed were used as additional nutrients. The experiments were carried out at the temperature 17-18.5 °C and 80-90 % relative humidity in the yield rooms. The shortest mycelium growth period (average 11 days) were estimated in ten- kilograms compost sacs containing 250 gr. and 350 gr. residue of crushed sunflower seed. The maximum production was estimated in the sacs added 250 gr. and 350 gr. hen grain. With this study, the growth period of Agaricus bisporus (Lge.) Sing. mycelium was shortened and amount of yield increased. KEY WORDS: Agaricus bisporus (Lge) sing, synthetic compost with wheat straw, culture of mushroom, product of mycelium. IV
