Introduction to the Agaricus bisporus variety ag-33
Early-maturing variety. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth is 24°C; the mycelium is of the creeping or semi-creeping type and appears grayish-white on wheat grain medium. During fruiting, the temperature should preferably not exceed 20°C. Under suitable conditions, it fully colonizes the substrate in about 14 days, and mushroom primordia appear 16-18 days after casing. The water content of the compost should preferably be around 70%, and the air humidity during the fruiting period should be 90%-95%. The first 4 flushes account for about 80% of the total yield, with rapid flush turnover and an interval of 8-11 days between flushes. When the substrate is about 22 cm thick, the yield per unit area can reach as high as 17 kg/sq m.
