Abstract
The role of the casing soil during mushroom cultivation was studied wi th respect to the composition of the microflora. The thermophilic bact eria became more numerous and the number of mesophiles was clearly enh anced. The casing soil had a protective action against antagonistic mi croflora. Interactions between the microflora and the mushroom were al so studied. Moreover, lignocellulose degradation was evaluated by enzy matic measurements during cultivation and process, and was documented by an ultrastructural study.
