The complete medium used for mushroom cultivation is important for reliable crop production. We aimed to identify how the origin of Agaricus bisporus grown in Korea was affected by complete media produced in different geographical regions using stable isotope ratios (SIRs). We found that the SIR features of A. bisporus significantly depended on the complete media origin used; in particular, it appeared the high δ34S in the Chinese complete medium, low δ34S in the Dutch complete medium, and high δ15N in the Korean complete medium (P < 0.05). The support vector machine method appeared better geo-origin classification of A. bisporus by the complete media compared to a linear discriminant analysis. A large-scale study should be conducted to establish a reliable origin identification model for A. bisporus grown in complete media to improve the global mushroom marketplace.
