Influence of carbon dioxide concentration during compost and casing soil overgrowth, inoculum rate, casing soil depth and mixing on Agaricus blazei fruiting bodies yield was determined. Compost composed of chicken manure and wheat straw which is used for commercial button mushrooms cultivation in Slovenia showed to be appropriate for A. blazei fruiting bodies production. Out of the parameters tested in our experiments, casing soil depth and inoculum rate had the biggest positive effect on fruiting bodies production. For A. blazei fruiting bodies production higher rates of inoculum and at least 8.5 kg of commercial casing soil per square meter of compost surface should be used. Higher carbon dioxide concentrations shoved to be beneficial for attaining higher yields of A. blazei fruiting bodies. Raziskovan je bil vpliv koncentracije ogljikovega dioksida med preraščanjem komposta in krovne prsti (pokrivke), količine glivnega vcepka primešanega kompostu ter količine krovne prsti in mešanje le-te po preraščanju s podgobjem na obrod gob Agaricus blazei. Kompost pripravljen iz kurjega gnoja ter pšenične slame, ki ga izdelujejo ter na območju Slovenije uporabljajo za komercialno gojenje šampinjonov, se je izkazal kot primeren za gojenje gob vrste A. blazei. Med testiranimi parametri gojenja sta na povečanje pridelka vplivali predvsem količina krovne prsti in koncentracija glivnega vcepka vmešanega v kompost. Za uspešno gojenje je potrebno uporabiti vsaj 8,5 kg komercialne krovne prsti na kvadratni meter komposta. Višje koncentracije ogljikovega dioksida in pokrivke pozitivno vplivajo na obrod gob.
