button mushroom, agaricus bisporus (lange) sing. has very short shelf-life at ambient temperature after harvest. it was found that shelf-life of button mushroom can be increased by keeping at 5°c temperature. further, at 5°c temperature whiteness remained excellent up to 144 hrs of storage duration without veil opening followed by 12 and 18°c temperature with smallest stipe length (0.5 cm) without veil opening and good whiteness up to 96 hrs of storage duration. shelf-life of white button mushroom in 100 gauge polythene bags without perforation is found best at 5°c and excellent whiteness was observed up to 120 hours of storage duration with no veil opening and with good whiteness up to 144 hrs of storage at 5°c. whereas, it remain excellent white up to 72 hours and 48 hours of storage at 12 and 18°c temperature with no veil opening, respectively. pre-cooling of sporophores of a. bisporus improved its keeping quality considerably. however, pre-cooling for 10 hours at 0°c was found to be the best pre-cooling duration for post-harvest preservation of button mushroom as fruit bodies retains good whiteness with no veil opening up to 120 hours of storage duration at 5 and 12°c temperature. whereas, good whiteness and no veil opening was found only up to 96 hours of storage at 18°c.
