Dear all,
I am in search of such an equation or model which can be used to express relative growth rate or growth kinetics of mushroom.
Your valuable suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Normally for mushroom, biological efficiency is used:
% biological efficiency = (mushroom fresh weight) / (compost or growing material dry weight) x 100%
Hello Vinod,
Could you elaborate on what specifically you are interested in measuring? Vegetative or fruiting body growth? You can find an equation for specific growth rate at: http://www.davidmoore.org.uk/21st_Century_Guidebook_to_Fungi_PLATINUM/Ch04_09.htm
Relative growth can otherwise be known as exponential growth rate. The following equation can be applied:
RGR = (ln W2 - ln w1)/(t2 -t1) where,
ln = natural log
t1 = time one (e.g in days)
t2 = time two (e.g) in days)
W1 = size at time one
W2 = size at time two
