shelf life make it an excellent fresh market
Amycel Alpha

Amycel ALPHA is the premier fresh market strain with excellent growing characteristics and
handling qualities. Amycel ALPHA has a very similar cap morphology to the U1 type with a well
rounded shape, dense tissue and white colouring. The Amycel ALPHA mushroom also has a
small gill area and heavy stipe which encourages a longer shelf life.

between processed and fresh markets. Amycel 2200/MAXX typically has a morphology

Amycel Magnum
Amycel Magnum has been selected to provide the grower with an improved size mix selection over its
sister strain Amycel 2200. Like 2200, Magnum is a hybrid with easy handling characteristics
bur with slightly larger sizing that is similar to other premium fresh market strains.
The cap morphology is quite similar to Amycel Delta with the cap tending to flatten
slightly during subsequent breaks.
Amycel Bella
Marketing Characteristics
Amycel BELLA does well in the fresh market with its excellent taste and marketability as an
old fashioned brown. Its firm texture and enhanced flavour offer an alternative to white
Agaricus strains. Mushroom slices have greater eye appeal due to the contrast between the
brown cap colour and white internal tissue. The BELLA strain can be considered a specialty
or exotic mushroom type for the consumer
