Abstract
THE aerobic nature of mushroom composts plays an essential part in the production of good mushroom crops, so that it is desirable, in laboratory growth-experiments on mushroom mycelium, to use an aerobic medium of known composition in which growth measurements can be made. The only fully aerobic medium of this nature in general use, so far as I am aware, is milled filter paper1,2,3. Unfortunately, this material loses its aerobio qualities when only a small amount of nutrient solution has been absorbed on it. A medium based on milled transparent cellulose shavings, dyed black to enable mycelial growth to be observed, has now been found to be more satisfactory, and is prepared as follows.
