A working group has recently been formed to work on a better protection of button mushroom varieties. It's activities are firstly directed to generate consensus among the spawn/breeding companies to consider using fertile single spore cultures to improve strains as the generation of EDV's. For this reason the working group has generated a position paper. The group consists of representatives of the European spawn producers Sylvan, Amycel, Limgroup, and the research groups of INRA Bordeaux, France and Plant Breeding Wageningen UR, the Netherlands.
