How to control edible mushroom pests? Eight methods to help you deal with them skillfully
In the process of edible mushroom production, the control of pests (mushroom gnats, mushroom midges, springtails, mites, nematodes, etc.) is a headache for mushroom growers. Now I would like to introduce several methods for skillfully controlling edible mushroom pests to mushroom grower friends, for their reference. 1. Use fermented or sterilized substrate cultivation as much as possible to control the insect population in the cultivation site; the cultivation beds for button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) should use fermented substrate. When mixing the substrate, add 0.5% salt, 3% lime, 5%-8% plant ash, etc., which has a good insect-repellent and preventive effect. 2. Before the mushroom bags or substrate are brought into the shed, empty-shed disinfection should be carried out: use 0

How to Deal with White Mold on Oyster Mushrooms? A Detailed Guide to Prevention and Control
Oyster mushrooms often show vigorous mycelial growth (white and dense) during cultivation, making it difficult for fruiting bodies to form, with few or no mushrooms emerging, a phenomenon growers often call "white mold." When this happens, the following methods can be used: Adjust the temperature. For high-temperature oyster mushroom varieties, keep the daytime temperature at around 25°C; for low-temperature varieties, keep the daytime temperature at around 10°C. Within the suitable temperature range, increase the day-night temperature difference as much as possible to stimulate mycelial growth. Control humidity. Keep relative humidity at 85%-95%. When humidity is low, fruiting

How do you deal with a lack of water in the substrate during the later stage of oyster mushroom cultivation?
The first flush of oyster mushrooms accounts for about 40% of the total yield. Generally, after the second flush is harvested, because the water in the substrate is almost used up, even if mushrooms can still come out they are sparse, with thin and weak fruiting bodies, loose and dry flesh, and poor taste. To increase the yield, the following methods can be used to supplement water and nutrient solution: (1) The upright bag hole-irrigation method: the soaking method requires a water-holding container, but in some cases a small container or other reasons make it inconvenient, so this method can be used. Stand the fungus bags upright on the floor of the mushroom house, pull up the edges of the plastic bag so that water can be retained after watering, then
