Publication number: 20240107956Abstract: A method for excluding an aggressive incompatibility (AI) trait from Agaricus bisporus mushroom strains, wherein the method includes mating a culture of a hybrid mushroom line designated B18287-s82, a representative culture of the line having been deposited under NRRL Accession No. 68168, with a culture of the white mushroom line designated WBL-s290, to obtain an F1 hybrid mushroom strain designated J19109, a representative culture of the F1 strain having been deposited under NRRL Accession No. 68163. Upon fruiting a culture of the new F1 strain designated J19109 to obtain homokaryotic spores therefrom, one obtains cultures of homokaryotic lines from the homokaryotic spores from F1 strain J19109 and selects a culture of a homokaryotic line from the F1 strain J19109. The culture of a homokaryotic line from F1 strain J19109 is mated with a culture of the mushroom line designated J11500-s80, to obtain an F2 hybrid mushroom strain.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Michael KESSLER, Michelle SCHULTZ, Mark LOFTUS, Aniça AMINI, Sylvie DELBECQUE, Wes SCHULTZ, Richard KERRIGAN, Mark WACH
