ABSTRACT
SpawnMate II supplemented at spawning increased the yield of mushrooms, while safflower oil supplemented at casing reduced mushroom yield. Nutrient supplementation did not affect solids, lipid, 1-octen-3-ol content, or fatty acid composition of mushrooms. Supplementation at casing resulted in better color for the first two flushes of the crop cycle. The 1-octen-3-ol content of mushrooms decreased during postharvest storage. Use of nutrient supplementation also affected color and maturity of mushrooms during storage.
