“…Here we report the selection of isolates of S. thermophilum and of other thermophilic fungi for their ability to promote mycelial growth of A. bisporus in sterilized compost. Because isolates of S. thermophilum degenerate easily (26,37), full dependence on cultures from collections was avoided. We surveyed composts and isolated many S. thermophilum cultures and as many species of thermophilic fungi as possible.…”

Twenty-two species of thermophilic fungi were isolated from mushroom compost. Scytalidium thermophilum was present in the compost ingredients, fresh straw, horse droppings, and drainage from compost and dominated the fungal biota of compost after preparation. Of 34 species of thermophilic fungi tested, 9 promoted mycelial growth of Agaricus bisporus on sterilized compost: Chaetomium thermophilum, an unidentified Chaetomium sp., Malbranchea sulfurea, Myriococcum thermophilum, S. thermophilum, Stilbella thermophila, Thielavia terrestris, and two unidentified basidiomycetes. These species will be considered for future experiments on inoculation and more controlled preparation of compost.
