Method of reproduction

Mushrooms are two ways of reproduction - vegetative and sexual . Cultivation of mushroom use both multiplication . Each of them has its own characteristics associated with the biology of mushroom .

Organ of sexual reproductionserve mushroom fruiting bodies, which are formed Basidia-debate . In basidiomycetes are no germ cells, and reproduction have done without pollination . spores, germinating, form the primary mycelium, its cells contain a haploid nucleus (with single number of chromosomes) . After the spawn becomes secondary (dikaryotic)cells which are paired nuclei (Dikaryon) .

Research over the past decade proved that Agaricus bisporus is also possible hybridization . This is due to the fact that along with the formation of basidia on two fungal spores can form appears as an exception of three or four spores . If basidia There are three arguments, one of them -and two dual-core - single core . In this case, the dispute may go gay or heterosexual kernel mononuclear spores also are same-sex or opposite-sex . In the formation of the four spores all of them heterosexual . T . ii . Elliott points out, that the formation of three or four at basidia spore is very small and is 3 - 5% . Hence, obtaininghybrid forms in Agaricus bisporus is very difficult .
