ABSTRACT:
The disclosure describes a process for the culture of Quebec Pleurotus Super Mushroom. For this purpose, a substrate comprising straw, wood chips from broad-leaved trees, crushed shelled ears of corn, vermiculite, Japanese millet, mixed cereal grains, lime, micro-cel, is seeded with the Quebec Pleurotus inoculum. The mixture is maintained at a humidity of 75 to 85% and a pH of 6.2 to 6.8. The system is given a photoperiod of 2.5 hr at a light intensity of 125 lux. Incubation temperature is maintained at 22.degree. C. and fruiting temperature at about 14.degree. C. to 21.degree. C. This enables to obtain within 8 to 12 days of complete development, mushrooms of the class Basidiomycetes, Agaricales of the Pleurotaceae family, from the mushroom 107-Aa G. MYCOLA Inc. This mushroom is an excellent food, loaded with aromatic principles and enables to be prepared in many ways. In addition, it can be used as a laboratory tool, for teaching biology and botany, or has decorative use in a small interior garden. It requires only water and care to maintain a high degree of humidity. Between each production (growth of mushrooms) it can be refrigerated.
