In this work, various casing materials (composted pine bark, coconut fibre pith and wood fibre) have been evaluated
as alternative to peat (sphagnum blonde peat and black peat) for the cultivation of mushroom. For this, both quantitative

the sporophore, colour, dry matter, texture, proteins, soluble solids, ash and pH) production parameters were evaluated.

agree  Deborah Lockett: first reference in particular is excellent
8 hrs
  -> Thank you Deborah :-)
