Abstract
The cold-intolerant and difficult to maintain A. brasiliensis mushroom can be kept long-term at room temperature, with paddy rice as a substrate and water as a preservation solution. Good alternatives include compost, soil, paddy rice, or parboiled rice without preservation solution at 10°C.
