Table 1 Fungal biomass in mg g⁻¹ compost based on chitin (GlcNAc release) and PLFA C18:2ω6 content

From: Microbial biomass in compost during colonization of Agaricus bisporus

Methods	Day 0^a			Day 13			Day 19			Day 26
Methods	µ	σ		µ	σ		µ	σ		µ	σ
Chitin	58.1	2.3	A	64.2	0.3	A	65.6	3.2	A	67.6	1.5	A
C18:2ω6	14.2	2.8	B	23.0	4.4	B	30.2	1.5	B	28.9	8.1	B

Average biomass (µ) and standard deviation (σ) are shown. Significant differences between the biomass at each time point are indicated with letters (p < 0.05, t test)
^aBased on conversion factor of A. bisporus
