| Mould / mould material | cylindrical plastic boxes Ø 86 × 43 mm; acrylic moulds for tensile, bending and impact specimens |
| Inactivation | Oven drying |
| Inactivation – temperature [°C] | 70 |
| Pressing pressure [MPa] | 0.5 |
| Specimen geometry | compression Ø 86 × 43 mm; tensile dumbbell 165 × 19 mm (neck 57 × 13 mm); bending 127 × 12.7 × 3.2 mm; impact 63.5 × 12.7 × 12.7 mm |
| Dry density [kg/m³] | 337.21 |
| Mass loss on drying [%] | 62.01 |

| Notes / observations | Substrate supplemented with 5 % rice bran, 1 % CaCO₃, 2 % CaSO₄ and 0.2 % Na₂SO₄ on a dry mass basis (shares normalised to 100 % here). Spawn on sorghum grains; 5 g spawn on 500 g substrate (1:100). Pre-growth in bag for 14–21 days at 30 °C, then cold-pressed into the mould at 0.5 MPa for 10 min, 3 days in the mould and 3 days without mould. Dried for 24–72 h until constant mass. Mass loss = moisture content (ASTM D644, wet basis). |
