Summary:The white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) is very popular throughout the world and is the most important mushroom of commercial significance in India. It can be successfully cultivated in places where the environmental conditions are favorable but it is cultivated in north India in winter seasons due to the favorable conditions. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth is 22[degrees]C-25[degrees]C and that for fruit body formation 14[degrees]C - 18[degrees]C and a high percentage of relative humidity in the present study different types of compost prepared by the three common formulas viz. IARI, IIHR, NCMRT were evaluated for the seasonal evaluation of Agaricus bisporus for the first time in MP condition compost prepared by NCRMT formula gave the highest fresh sporophore yield 12.98 kg/100 kg compost with good biological efficiency and morphological character. Formula IIHR and were the next best and compost prepared by IARI formula gave the lowest yield and biological efficiency among all three.
