Detailed Explanation of the Technique for Fruiting on Both the Front and Back Sides of Oyster Mushroom Beds
Using indoor frame-style cultivation of oyster mushrooms, fruiting simultaneously on both the front and back sides of the mushroom bed can, without increasing the substrate per unit area and without changing the substrate formula or the spawn sowing rate, produce an average of 16 kg of mushrooms per square meter of mushroom bed, and bring fruiting about 7 days earlier. 1. Setting up the mushroom bed frame structure: Build a frame indoors using materials such as moso bamboo, and fix the mushroom bed baseboard onto the frame. Generally the frame is 2 m high, with three tiers of mushroom beds, and the distance between tiers is 60-65 cm; beds managed from both sides are 110 cm wide, and beds managed from one side are 55 cm wide; the bed baseboard is made by nailing thin wooden boards, with 1.5-2 cm between each wooden strip. 2. Sowing: Select the Florida strain, which has a relatively broad suitable temperature range. Use the "layer sowing method": first lay a layer of plastic film on the mushroom bed baseboard, with a width 2.5 times the width of the bed baseboard, then spread a layer of substrate about 3 cm thick on the plastic film, then spread a layer of spawn, with the spawn layer no more than 1 cm thick; after spreading 4 layers of substrate and 3 layers of spawn in this way, press firmly, then cover the surface of the culture medium with a layer of water-soaked wet newspaper, and finally wrap the entire culture medium tightly with plastic film. 3. Fruiting management: About 60 days after inoculation, when the mycelium has basically finished colonizing the substrate, use a blade to make intermittent longitudinal cuts in the plastic film at the gaps on the back side of the mushroom bed baseboard. Each cut segment should be no longer than 15 cm, and both the horizontal and vertical spacing between cuts should be greater than 15 cm. Thereafter, each time the mushroom bed is watered, use a sprayer to spray an appropriate amount of water onto the cuts on the back side of the bed; other management is the same as conventional. After the first flush of mushrooms on the back side of the bed is harvested, the uncut plastic film on the back side of the bed can be slit open again with a knife. During the entire cultivation process, 2-3 flushes of oyster mushrooms can be harvested from the back side of the bed, with yield close to that of the front side of the bed.

Detailed Explanation of New Management Techniques for Explosive Fruiting of Oyster Mushrooms
1. Tightening and oiling: Before using the machine, check whether all fastening parts are firm and whether all rotating parts are flexible. Apply grease to the universal joint cross, cutter bearing housings, press wheel bearing housings, etc., add gear oil to the gearbox, and apply lubricating oil to the chain drive and other rotating parts. 2. Use of the seed metering device. This machine uses a 16-slot semi-precision external groove wheel seed metering device for sowing wheat. When sowing corn, five of the wheat seed metering devices need to be replaced with corn seed metering devices, while the other five wheat seed metering devices are shut off. 3. Press wheel limit: during transport

Practical methods to extend the fruiting period of tomatoes
After the first generation of tomatoes is harvested, the following 3 methods can be used to make the tomatoes bloom and bear fruit again, improving economic returns. The vine-laying method: after the first generation of tomatoes is mature and harvested, cut off the dead branches and yellow leaves, keep the new branches with vigorous regrowth ability, and dig a fertilization trench 20 cm long and 15 cm deep on one side of the main stem and apply fertilizer. After fertilizing, bury the main stem in the trench and water it, so that the layered vine quickly takes root. In this way, the new roots and old roots absorb water and nutrients together, the plant shape grows rapidly, and the tomatoes can bloom and bear fruit again. The stem-cutting method: after the first generation of tomatoes is harvested, cut off

How to prevent and control excessive browning of shiitake mushroom logs that results in no fruiting
1. Causes of the problem. Log browning is a physiological process in the development of shiitake mushroom mycelium and is also a sign of physiological maturity of the mycelium. Suitable conditions for log browning: temperature of 18°C to 24°C, air humidity of 80% to 85%, some scattered light, and good ventilation. If the indoor temperature exceeds 25°C during browning and this high temperature lasts for a long time, it can cause the logs to secrete large amounts of yellow water and pigments, thereby forming a thick brown mycelial skin. The thick mycelial skin formed can block air, causing the mycelium to receive no oxygen and be unable to

Detailed Explanation of Key Management Techniques for Fruiting of Summer-Cultivated Shiitake Mushrooms
The fruiting stage of summer mushrooms coincides with the hotter season, which is unfavorable for the growth and development of fruiting bodies. Poor management can easily lead to wilted buds and rotten mushrooms. How can cultivation protection facilities and corresponding measures be used to restrain the effects of adverse environments? This is the most important aspect of fruiting management in summer cultivation. Based on the experience of major production areas, the main measures are as follows: 1. Thin the buds and dig out the stems; First flush of mushrooms from buried logs occurs from late May to June, when the temperature is relatively suitable and mushroom buds emerge in dense clusters. If allowed to develop freely, the caps will be small and the flesh thin, failing to meet the quality requirements for fresh-market export.

Management Methods and Technical Key Points for Shiitake Mushrooms During the Fruiting Period
After the shiitake mushroom logs change color, the mycelium is fully mature and has accumulated rich nutrients. Under the stimulation of certain conditions, it rapidly transitions from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, initiating the differentiation and development of fruiting body primordia, which marks the beginning of the fruiting period. I. Promoting bud formation: Shiitake mushrooms are a type of fungus that fruits under variable temperatures. A certain temperature difference, scattered light, and fresh air are beneficial to the differentiation of fruiting body primordia. During this period, the covering film on the beds is generally removed, and the temperature in the fruiting greenhouse should preferably be controlled at 10-22°C, with a day-night temperature difference of 5-10°C.

Detailed Explanation of Key Technical Points for Inducing Bud Formation and Shelf Fruiting of Shiitake Mushrooms
After the substrate bags change color, they enter the fruiting stage. The key management points during the bud induction period are: manually increase the temperature difference and the wet-dry difference, keep the temperature at 15-20°C and the humidity at 85%-90%, combine with ventilation, and apply temperature difference stimulation; after 3-5 days, mushroom buds will appear in large numbers. In winter, bud induction focuses mainly on heat preservation. The methods are: (1) Induce buds on indoor shelves: arrange the substrate bags neatly on the shelves with 2 cm between bags, place 1-2 stoves in the room, keep the temperature at 15-20°C, ventilate 3 times a day for about 1 hour each time, remove coal

What are the control measures for the difficulty of shiitake mushrooms fruiting in bag substrate
In recent years, the "Xixia model" of cultivating flower shiitake mushrooms on plastic racks with bag substrate as the main body has become a model for the south-to-north migration of mushrooms in China, blooming all over the country. However, due to regional climate temperature differences and the fact that mushroom farmers in newly developed areas have little understanding of shiitake mushroom variety types and fruiting characteristics, they used medium-temperature shiitake varieties such as 135, 241, 939, L26, etc., or similar strains, and when forcing fruiting in low-temperature seasons, the abnormal phenomenon of being unable to fruit normally after forcing occurs, resulting in reduced yield in mild cases and loss of capital in severe cases. Now we present our control measures for bag substrate
