Agaricus bisporus is a fungus of the mushroom family and the genus Agaricus, also known as white mushrooms, mushrooms, tricholoma, and mushrooms. The fruiting body of Agaricus bisporus is medium and large, with a cap width of 5-12 cm, hemispherical at first, then flattened, white, smooth, gradually turning yellow when slightly dry, and the edge is initially involuted. The flesh of the mushroom is white, thick, slightly reddish after injury, and has a mushroom-specific smell. Gills initially pink, then brown to dark brown, dense, narrow, free, unequal length, stipe 4.5-9 cm long, 1.5-3.5 cm thick, white, smooth, silky, subcylindrical, inside Soft or medium solid, single-layer annulus, white, membranous, middle part of raw stipe, easy to fall off.

Canned Agaricus bisporus can be opened and eaten immediately, and has a delicious taste. It is an edible fungus with a large cultivation scale and a wide cultivation range. Its protein content is as high as 42% (dry weight), rich in amino acids, nucleotides and vitamins. Agaricus bisporus is also used medicinally. It contains a lot of tyrosinase, which is effective in lowering blood pressure. It can also be made into an auxiliary therapeutic agent for pneumonia. Some countries have also found broad-spectrum antibiotics containing anti-cancer substances and anti-bacteria. Due to the success of deep culture research, people can also use mushroom mycelium to produce substances such as protein, oxalic acid and bacterial sugar.

From budding to harvesting, it usually takes 4 to 6 days, depending on the bed temperature. When the diameter of the cap grows to 2.5-4 cm, it can be harvested. If the mushroom body is too large, the quality will be affected, and the formation of the next tide mushroom will also be affected. When picking mushrooms, use your thumb, index finger, and middle finger to gently pinch the mushroom cap and rotate it up, and put it into a basket or basket that has been lined with plastic film. Do not damage the mushroom body. When the large and small mushrooms are clustered together, the large mushrooms can be cut off with a knife, leaving the small mushrooms. If a hole is left when picking mushrooms, the hole should be filled up with the soil particles left in advance. After harvesting, the mushroom feet are cut off for sale.
