FIELD: agriculture, in particular, artificial growing of mushrooms. SUBSTANCE: method involves introducing mycelium into nutritive substrate, with mycelium being used in the form of pellets having diameter of 0.5-1.0 cm; forming mushroom blocks by arranging pellets of mycelium at peripheral portions of polyethylene bags at 5-10 cm depth, i.e. at zone of maximum aeration most favorable for aerobes needing strict aeration requirements; arranging mycelium pellets in spaced relation, with space being 8-10 cm. Such form and arrangement of mycelium provides local concentration of nutritives and biomass of mycelium, reduces maturity stage of mushroom blocks to 16-20 days and fruiting stage to 40-60 days. Yield is increased to 24-27% of organic substrate block weight for three stages of fruiting. EFFECT: increased efficiency by reduced maturity and fruiting stages and improved yield. 2 cl, 2 ex
