Effect of Nutrient Supplementation on Flavor, Quality, and Shelf Life of the Cultivated Mushroom,Agaricus Bisporus

Abstract
SpawnMate II supplemented at spawning increased the yield of mushrooms, while safflower oil supplemented at casing reduced mushroom yield. Nutrient supplementation did not affect solids, lipid, 1-octen-3-ol content, or fatty acid composition of mushrooms. Supplementation at casing resulted in better color for the first two flushes of the crop cycle. The 1-octen-3-ol content of mushrooms decreased during postharvest storage. Use of nutrient supplementation also affected color and maturity of mushrooms during storage.
