The bulk of my research is conducted at the Mushroom Research Center (MRC). My focus is the Agaricus bisporus (aka button mushroom) cultivation system where I am investigating the efficacy of alternative casing materials to the industry standard: Sphagnum Peat Moss. I am assessing how casing alternatives affect crop yield, mushroom quality, and disease pressure.
