Development of a new brown button mushroom cultivar ‘Hogam’
Abstract
A new brown button mushroom cultivar, ‘Hogam’, C34 line, was made by crossing homokaryons, ASI1164-37 andASI1175-66, selected by RAPD analysis and by cultivating three times. Mycelium of ‘Hogam’ on CDA (compost dextrose agar)media grew well at 25oC. The optimum pin-heading temperature of new variety and optimum growing temperature was 14-18oC. The thickness of the mature cap and stipe were thicker than a control, ‘Dahyang’ that developed in 2010. The color ofpileus was light brown and lighter than ‘Dahyang’. Days required from casing to first harvesting were three days longer thancontrol strain, but the weight of harvested fruiting body increased by 1.35 times. ‘Hogam‘ cultivar are expected to contribute tothe diversification of domestic mushroom cultivars.
