Abstract :In this study, the development of Agaricus bitorquis Quel. Sacc. mycelium at different temperatures was examined.Spores were developed in the wheat agar medium for 20 days at 30°C. At the end of the incubation period, they weregrouped as A, B, C, and D. In this way, the main cultures were obtained. The mycelium of these groups was grownat 25, 28, 30, 32, 35 and 38°C. Mycelium grown at 30°C served as a control. A group mycelium had good development at 25, 28, 30, 32°C. For Group A mycelium 35°C was the lethal temperature point; for other groups 38°C waslethal. The growth of C group mycelium at 35°C showed differences from the control
