Description

• Fleshy from medium to large sized mushroom.
• Dark brown coloured.
• The lower the temperature is the darker the mushrooms colour will be.
• Flat cap.

Growing Characteristics

• Quick incubation and crop yielding.
• It yields crops easily with high temperatures.
• It grows in a wide temperature range, but it develops better over 20ºC.

Recommendations

• Temperature should not be allowed to rise for long periods over 30ºC during the INCUBATION period.
• Sudden temperature changes should be avoided during the incubation period to prevent condensation in the substrate.
• Once the incubation period is ended, the temperature should be lowered slowly.
• When PINHEADS start to be visible through the packs’ holes, ventilation intensity can be raised.
• During the GROWING PERIOD, relative air humidity should be kept between 82 and 87%.
• CO2 levels should be kept as low as possible, maintaining the rest of the parameters.
• Fruiting bodies should be harvested once the mushroom’s edge is straight and before it starts to break.
• The watering should be controlled, because it tends to get moisture saturated and that decreases its shelf life.
• Between different crops, a drop of temperature might be needed to stimulate new pinheading.
