Mushroom E 812

Genetic potential of Euromycel E 812

The French breeding school, represented by Euromycel, has introduced an Agaricus bisporus mycelium strain optimized for professional industrial production. The E 812 strain is a specialized tool for intensive cultivation technologies where predictability and substrate turnover rate are the primary drivers of profitability.

Cultivation technical parameters

Yield stability is directly proportional to environmental control. To fully realize the potential of 3–4 flushes, a strictly regulated microclimate is required:

• Temperature range: 15–18 °C. Deviations toward higher temperatures can negatively impact cap density.
• Humidity regime: 85–90 %. Maintaining this level is critical to prevent casing layer dehydration and ensure uniform fruit body development.

A biological feature of E 812 is its consistent production of aesthetic, semi-spherical caps, ranging from 5–8 cm in diameter. The snow-white color is maintained even during intensive harvesting, which is crucial for the commercial appeal of mushrooms supplied to retail chains.

Resilience and economics

High resistance to common fungal pathogens minimizes the risk of crop failure during the cropping stage. Utilizing E 812 allows production technologists to reduce expenditures on fungicide treatments, thereby positively impacting the cost per kilogram of product. The intensive cultivation model relies on high planting density, and this strain is exceptionally well-adapted to indoor climate-controlled environments, ensuring a predictable yield of high-quality produce from every square meter of growing room surface area.
