Characteristics of a new Agaricus bisporus cultivar ‘Jinhyang’
Abstract
The main characteristics of a new cultivar ‘Jinhyang’, a cross of a collection of monokaryotic strains of the brown button mushroom, were examined. ‘Jinhyang’ was not significantly different from the control cultivar ‘Dahyang’ in mycelial culture and cultivation period. The cap of ‘Jinhyang’ was thicker and darker in color than that of ‘Dahyang’. The hardness and individual weight of the fruiting body of ‘Jinhyang’ were slightly higher than those of ‘Dahyang’; however, the differences were not significant. The yield of ‘Jinhyang’ was 14.1 kg/m2, which was 8% higher than that of ‘Dahyang’. Therefore, it is expected that it will be possible to supply this cultivar growers in the future.
