Alternative available is four-season container allowing mushroom product, humidity,illumination, and factors such as carbon dioxide were regulated to create the optimal environment for mushroom cultivation. During approximately 40 days of incubation, 1.4 kg of oak sawdust was used asthe test medium. The humidity, temperature, and CO2 density were maintained at >85–95%, 18–20oC, and 700–1,000 ppm,respectively, in the container type culture system.
