Background: Agaricus subrufescens Peck is a mushroom whose cultivation has aroused great interest worldwide in recent years, and is becoming increasingly popular. A rapid expansion of culture throughout the world is foreseen because of its medicinal and culinary properties. %26lt;br%26gt;Aims: This work assesses the effect of 5 different casing layers on the production of 3 strains of Agaricus subrufescens. %26lt;br%26gt;Methods: A growth cycle of Agaricus subrufescens under controlled conditions has been carried out. The main production parameters were evaluated. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: The best results were provided by the ABL 99/30 strain. Peat-based casings have a better yield than those based on mineral soil. The highest yield (6.75 kg/m(2), biological efficiency 27.57 kg/dt) was provided by the combination ABL 99/30-Euroveen. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions: Our results suggest that the combination of the strain ABL 99/30 using a peat-based casing layer (Euroveen) offers a high potential for use on a commercial scale by the edible mushroom production
