The growth characteristics of Agaricus bisporus are basically the same as those of Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus edodes. But there is something different. First, Agaricus bisporus must be covered with soil to produce mushrooms. Second, the environment of Agaricus bisporus is not strict with light.

Agaricus bisporus is also called white mushroom, mushroom and foreign mushroom, and producers and operators in Europe and America often call it common cultivated mushroom or button mushroom. Agaricus bisporus is a kind of mushroom cultivated and consumed all over the world. It is known as the "world mushroom" and can be sold fresh, canned and salted. The mycelium of Agaricus bisporus is also used as a raw material for pharmacy.

The most cultivated Agaricus bisporus in China are Fujian, Shandong, Henan and Zhejiang provinces. Cultivation methods include mushroom house cultivation, greenhouse frame cultivation and greenhouse border cultivation. Different regions, different climatic conditions and different seasons can adopt their own cultivation methods. Widely distributed and widely cultivated in China.

However, with the continuous development of Agaricus bisporus cultivation technology, industrial production of Agaricus bisporus has been realized, and continuous production can be realized all year round through environmental control of mushroom house. The industrial production of Agaricus bisporus can accurately control the temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration and ventilation of mushroom house, thus providing a very suitable growth environment for Agaricus bisporus.

The daily output of a large-scale Agaricus bisporus factory can reach hundreds of tons, which was unimaginable before. In recent years, due to the successful research of submerged culture, people can also use mushroom mycelium to produce protein, oxalic acid and mycosugar.
