Model proposed by Eastwood et al. [20] of factors influencing the developmental process of fruiting in A. bisporus. The volatile 1-octen-3-ol acts as an early repressor of development, while temperature inhibits the transition from smooth to elongated differentiated primordia. The higher the temperature, the less primorida transition from smoot to elongated differentiated primordia. Carbon dioxide is a quantitative regulator of fruiting body number. The higher the level of carbon dioxide in the growing room, the lower the number of fruiting bodies that develop.
