Abstract
Experiments are described showing that for successful colonization of a suitable prepared compost by mycelial strands of the cultivated mushroom fungus, a certain inoculum potential is necessary; if inoculum potential is only just adequate, colonization is greatly delayed. Inoculum potential at the growing tips of the mycelial strands appears to vary directly with size and vigour of the inoculum food-base, and inversely with distance from this food-base. New mycelial strands soon grow out from freshly colonized compost into new soil, but not into soil already occupied by older strands.
