Six wild strains of Agaricus bisporus were cultivated in order to determine their
productivy characteristics for a potential commercial exploitation. The spawn was prepared in
sorghum seeds and mushroom productivity was determined on commercial compost samples
weighing 4 kg (moistened weight) inoculated with each of the strains. Primordia began to appear
on the 42 to 47th after spawning and 4 flushes were obtained between 70 to 96 days of
culturing. Fruiting bodies with pileus diameters of 5 to 10 cm and cream to light brown color
were mostly harvested. Biological efficiencies (BE) ranged from 40.3 to 95% and production
rates (PR) from 0.47 to 1.13%. IE-747 and IE-708 strains presented the highest BEs (95 and
90.3%) and PRs (1.1 and 1.13%).
