Early-spring mushroom fruiting tips: manage it this way for good fruiting
After the Start of Spring, temperatures gradually rise. If you carry out simple yet clever management of mushroom beds that already fruited continuously the previous autumn, you can easily prompt a season of spring mushrooms. The specific methods are as follows: 1. Loosen the compost and replenish the soil. When the temperature rises back to 10°C, loosen the compost and replenish the soil promptly. This not only helps expel waste gases from the compost, but is even more helpful for breaking apart old mycelium, promoting the growth of new mycelium, and forming strong mycelium, laying the foundation for increasing spring mushroom yields. Loosening the compost is divided into deep, medium and light loosening, and should be determined according to the actual condition of the mushroom bed compost.
