In this study, Pleurotus ostreatus were grown in bottles at temperatures set to 15°C, 20°C, and 25°C inside the cultivation room. Changes in temperature, CO2 concentration, and humidity inside the bottles were measured, and growth characteristics according to the temperature conditions were evaluated. CO2 concentration increased overall as the temperature increased and was particularly stable at 20°C, suggesting that 20°C is the optimal condition for the physiological respiration of P. ostreatus . While humidity was relatively constant at 15°C, it decreased over time at 20°C and was maintained at a stable level at 25°C, suggesting that water retention capacity may occur at high temperatures. As a result of the growth investigation, the yield per bottle and individual weight were the highest at 20°C, confirming that 20°C is the most suitable temperature condition for the growth of oyster mushrooms. At 25°C, the yield per bottle was maintained but the individual weight decreased and the color tended to change. These results suggest that the interaction between CO2 concentration, humidity, and temperature has a significant effect on the growth and quality of oyster mushrooms, and that it is effective to control the cultivation room temperature to 20°C for optimal growth.

This study proposes Chatsworth House as the first Whig country house built by William Cavendish, the 4th Earl of Devonshire. The earl was a leading Whig who became one of the Immortal Seven responsible for bringing William of Orange and Mary II to the throne of England through the Glorious Revolution. His stately home, Chatsworth House was redesigned by William Talman in the Baroque style around and after the Revolution at his political apogee and has retained its spatial character ever since. Despite the symbolic and historic importance of the house, research on it is relatively scarce. It has been conducted commonly relying either on the social and economic power of the Earl or on the partial activities of the individual artists who were engaged in the remodeling of the house. Instead, this paper explores the house as an entity that presents the Earl’s political vision and aesthetic. It examines the Baroque quality from Talman’s design to Quadraturas that shaped the house as “the first flaunting symbol in the architecture of territorial Whiggery” in the words of John Summerson. Ultimately, this study aims to lay the foundation for promoting the studies of art and architectural culture in the age of English Baroque.
