  • Publication number: 20240107956
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11785913
    Abstract: A mushroom culture of Agaricus bisporus, comprising at least one set of chromosomes as a culture of line J14756-s3, includes a representative culture of the line, which has been deposited under NRRL Accession No. 67317. A method of producing a hybrid mushroom culture of Agaricus bisporus comprising: mating a culture comprising at least one set of chromosomes as a culture of line J14756-s3 with a second homokaryotic line culture.

    Abstract: A culture of the Agaricus bisporus strain B12998 is provided, the culture of the strain B12998 having been deposited under the NRRL Accession Number 50902. Other embodiments include a hybrid strain of Agaricus bisporus having BP-1 as one parent and an OW, SW, HW or experimental BW strain as a second parent. Still other embodiments include a hybrid strain of Agaricus bisporus having strain B12998 as at least one parent. Methods are provided for obtaining offspring including homokaryotic lines from select hybrid strain cultures of Agaricus bisporus, as well as methods and processes for producing hybrid mushroom cultures. A method of mushroom strain development is further provided.

  • Patent number: 9843472
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for identification of common root causes with sequential patterns. In use, a plurality of customer event sequences are identified. Additionally, the plurality of customer event sequences are grouped into a hierarchical framework of patterns. Further, a root-cause analysis (RCA) is performed for the customer event sequences utilizing the hierarchical framework of patterns.

  • Publication number: 20070266468
    Abstract: A new and unique variety of the mushroom Agaricus subrufescens Peck was produced by crossbreeding a single spore isolate from the fungal strain I-101 and a single spore isolate from the fungal strain SBRFG. The resultant hybrid, named H1X1, exhibits early cropping, large size, high productivity, and an attractive appearance that includes a smooth, round cap.
