Effects of storage temperature and temperature fluctuation on postharvest physiology and quality of Agaricus bisporus were studied. The results have shown that lower temperature with higher relative humidity can reduce the cap opening percentage of postharvest Agaricus bisporus, weakening its respiration intensity and inhibiting PPO activity and degree of browning; temperature fluctuation during storage may increase the physiology activities of Agaricus bisporus, which speeds up the after-ripening and senescence.
