Versatile strain, very popular strain type worldwide. It also has the ability to produce both high-density medium and larger sized fruitbodies and maintains high yields in both cases, even though picking is easier when the fruitbodies are grown to medium size. The caps of this Agaricus bisporus strain are smooth and rounded.

*Primordia are induced by a shock. For most mushroom species, this is done with a thermal shock, which is defined by the minimum temperature during the day-night cycle.
