or three rooms are filled each week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The rooms are filled by a Christiaens head filler that can handle compost and casing soil, and compost is added at casing at the same time so the beds no longer need ruffling afterwards. The filling weight is 82-83 kg per square metre. The incubated compost is supplied alter- nately by Wokas and Torfan, and is spawned with Spyra, Euromycel or Sylvan, in the strains Factory 1, F11, E58, A15 or 737. The casing soil used on the farm comes from Wokas or Torfan. No water is added on the filling machine, but after filling a total amount of about 20 litres is sprayed onto


the beds over a period of four days. During the same period, Dimilin and Sporgon are also applied. Cool down begins eight days after filling. The air temperature is reduced from between 21 and 22 degrees, a level used to encourage mycelium growth high up in the material, to 19.5 degrees in a single day. Afterwards the temperature is reduced more gradually, from 19.5 to 18 degrees in 96 hours to obtain a good spread of mushrooms. The relative humidity is lowered in one week from 95 to 88%. The CO2 is also reduced over a one-week period, from 3000 to 2000 ppm. Once the mushrooms start to emerge and grow, the CO2 is reduced

further to 1500-1800 ppm and the air temperature drops to 17 degrees. Harvesting starts on day 20 or 21. A further eight to ten litres of water are given after the first flush. When the second flush starts developing, the pinheads are sprayed with two to three litres per square metre, with a further five to six litres being sprayed after

the second flush has finished. The pinheads in the third flush also get a mild sprinkling of one to two litres. The average yield on the farm is 30 to 32 kg per square metre. A good cook-out session follows the third flush. The predominant market is Russia, but some of the mushrooms are supplied to national customers as well.
