This paper describes research sponsored by the National Marine Fisheries Service. NOAA. and heing done w the Mllshroom R esearch Center, Pennsylvania S((/te Vnil'ersity, to explore menhaden (Brevoo rt ia tyra nnus) fish solubles and fish oils as nutrient supplements in mushroom cultllre. Fish solubles Ivere successfully substituted for other organic nitrogen supplements commonly used in mushroom composting and subsequel1l lIlushroom culture. These experilllents, performed in 1971-1972, indicated th(/( in certain situatiollS larger lIlushroolllS were produced \l'hen combinations offish soluhle.\' and other organic nitrogen supplements \l'ere used. Currently under inl'estigwion ill 1973-1974 is the use (~f fish oils, substituted for polyunsatur£lted vegerable oils, to stimulate increased yields of nlushroom.l. A hrief dl'scriptioll of IIlllshroom culti\'({tion is gil'ell \l'ith emphasis on nitrogen supplemen(({tioll of composts and polyunsallirated oil stimulation for increased mushroom yields.
These inl'estigations of menhaden fish solubles and fish oil could open lip nell' /llarkets for these products. A t the same time, they could offer the mushroom grower nell' and inexpensil'e sources or nitrogell .luppleml'lIts or nutril'lIt stilllUlallts.

The College Park Fishery Products Technology Laboratory became interested in exploring the feasibility of usi ng fishery products and by-products In mushroom culture. Helpful information and guidance on the requirements of mushroom culture were initially received from Drs . James P. San Antonio and Claude Fordyce, Jr.. of the U.S . Department of Agriculture Mushroom Research Group. Beltsville. Md. (Dr. Fordyce is now with the L. F. Lambert Spawn Company . Coatesville, Pa.l . A contract was made later with Dr. Lee C. Schisler of the Mushroom Research Center at the Pennsylvania State University, and his expertise was put to work to explore the feasibility of using fish sol ubles as an organic ni trogen supplement in making compost for mushroom culture and fish oil as a stimulant for increased mushroom yield. The initial results of these experiments look promising and although further experimentation will have to be done. there are promises of new potential

COMPOSTING AND NITROGEN SUPPLEMENTS
Mushrooms are grown commercially on the traditional horse manure compost. In more recent decades a "synthetic" mushroom compost has been developed consisting of corn cobs and hay. Horse manure compost is still being used by the majority of the mushroom growers and "synthetic"

compost is used by about 40 percent of thi~ industry. There is now a gro'A-ing interest by many concerns to grow mushrooms on compo~ted 'A-aste such as city garbage. agricultural waste. and re~idue from various industrial processes. Disposal of waste by composting followed by mushroom culture could help solve some of the solid 'A- aste disposal problems . A I though the technique is largel y e.\.pcri mental now . the future ma y see more of this in actual production. 0 matter ~ hich type of compost is used. the ingredients of gyp um for te:>..ture and one or more types of organic ni trogen sources are mi.\.ed in at the initiation of composting.
In order to assure the good composting which is necessary for good mushroom production . the grower must raise the initial nitrogen content of the compost from approximately 0.8-1.2 percent to 1.5-1.7 percent on a dry weight basis . To do this. he adds one or more organic nitrogen sources. such as dried chicken manure (2-6 percent N). dried brewers grains H percent Nl. cottonseed meal (7.0 percent Nl. cocoa bean hu lls (3 percent N). and other materi als contai ni ng organic nitrogen. Chicken manure varies in its n itroge n co nte nt and presents problems to th e mush room grower in terms of consistency. proper mixing. and occasional excess ammonia fo r mat io n duri ng composti ng. Excess ammonia inh ibits mush room grow th. Inorgan ic nit rogen or sm all organic mo lecul es. such as urea. are usuall y less ex pensive bu t th ey

often leach out of the com post pil e d uri ng wate ri ng ope rations. In addi tion. inorganic n itrogen does no t give result~ as good as those of o rga ni c nitrogen. hencc the desire for o rga ni c nitrogen substances by th e m ushroom grower. Their supp li es of des ired nitrogen supp lements are becom in g more expensive as the demand fo r these materials increases for this and other uses. There are compan ies tha t supply mushroom growers ~ ith a mixture of dried. fonifled organ ic nitrogen substances of guaranteed nitrogen consistency. We became interested in the possibility that fish solubles . 'A-hich is quite consistent in nitrogen. 5 percent. migh t be used for this purpose . A contract was made 'A-ith Dr . Schisler to explore the use of menhaden fish solubles as a nitrogen

microbia l growth , the hu ge pil es of compost ingredients are periodically watered and aerated by turning to achieve good aerobic growth. Temperat ures of the compost reach as high as 165-175 0 F. Wh en the peaks of rapid
microb ia l growth a nd temperature are reached. which ends Ph ase I of compos tin g. the hot. raw compost is placed in beds or trays in side mushroom ho uses which are then steamed to continu e Phase II of composting at a lower temperature ( I ~O-135° F) to fina ll y conditi on compost. The heat generated during Phase II and supplemental steam are utilized to pasteurize the mushroom house by killin g off insects. nematodes. and competing fungi.
The entire composting operation takes from ~ to 3 weeks. Good aerobic growth of these composting microorgani sms yie lds a biologically stable compost of mushrooms . which are rea ll y slow growing fungi. Poor composti ng produces poor or no yields of mushrooms . Therefore. the compost ingredients a nd procedures are very important in order to get good yie lds of mush rooms .
Wh en composting is completed. th e trays or beds of compost are

planted with a pure cu lture of mush room spawn. The newly spawned compost is a ll owed to develop mycelium growt h and then it is covered wi th a thin layer. usually topsoi l o r peat called casing. This casing layer is necessary in order for the mycelium growth to produce fruiting bodies (mushrooms). Sometimes nutri ents are added to the mushroom cu ltures at the time of casing. Th is is referred to in the trade as SACing (Supp lementation At Casing). In the future. some of the fishery products and byproducts might find uses in SACing. Experi mentation would be needed to show this application.
In the United States the only mushroom species grown of commercial importance is Agariclis bisporul, however. there are many different strains which are grown for various purposes. I n the Eastern and M idwestern States, fresh mush rooms sold in markets are usually white strains. The faster and more abu ndant growi ng cream or brown strai ns are grown for canning because either white. cream. or brown essentially are the same color in the final canned product. In the West Coast States. only the cream

IN TERMS OF FISH SOLUBLES, OTHER BYPRODUCTS
The amount of nitrogen ~upple
ment used per ton of compost would vary depending upon the initial concentrations of nitrogen in th e horse manure. corn cobs. hay. etc. A range of about 6.7-13.2 pounds (dry weight) of nitrogen pcr ton is required to formulate the desired mushroom compost. This would be the equ i va lent of
135 to 270 pounds of fish 50 lubl e, at 5 percent N. An esti mated 1.200.()()() tons of compost were produced In 1973. based on USDA I\!UShrolll1l Report (1973) citing about 102 1l1i1-li on square feet of mushroom produc tion area for th at year (each 1.000 '4 ft of mushroom growing area ,",ould require abou t I 1-12 tons of compost). This wou ld have required the e4Ut\3-lent of about 80.00 to 160.000 tom of tish solubles for 1973. Assuming the maximum of 160.000 tons at a price of 550/ton (general market prtLe prior to 1973), this ,",ould represent a $8 million market. Bearing in mind that certa in nitrogen supplements. like brewers gra ins. arc desired or
