TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOLOGY - Preferred Components: The crop comprises mushroom spores and mycelia.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Method: The method of providing the organic compost material comprises aerobically composting the straw and manure for a period of three weeks. The method of heating comprises heating the organic compost material to at least 170 degrees F, preferably at least 220 degrees F. The method of combining the organic compost material with water comprises forming windrows of the organic compost material and spraying water over the windrows. The method of extracting an aqueous liquid comprises: collecting liquid that percolates through or run-off from the windrows; and filtering the mixture of water and the organic compost material and collecting the filtrate. The method of combining the organic compost material with water comprises mixing water with organic compost material in a ratio of up to 1:1 by weight. The method further comprises processing the aqueous liquid after extracting the aqueous liquid, where processing comprises: concentrating the humic acid and fulvic acid in the aqueous solution; and mixing essential oil with the aqueous liquid for odor control. Preferred Components: The organic compost material comprises straw and manure. The water comprises non-treated neutral water. EXAMPLE - Water was combined with an organic compost mixture in the form and formulation of compost windrows formulated for mushroom growth. The compost windrows contained rye straw (85-90 wt.%), chicken manure, peat, gypsum, and shaft from alfalfa seeds. Water was added to the exterior surface of compost windrows in amounts that exceeded the saturation level of the compost windrows. The excess water effluent that escaped out of the organic compost mixture windrows was collected in defined channels at the bases of the windrows. This water effluent was then passed through a 50 micron filter, and then treated to kill harmful pathogens by adding copper sulfate to the effluent to produce aqueous solution of fulvic acid and humic acid.
