Key Techniques for Summer Management of Spring-Planted Oyster Mushrooms
For oyster mushrooms sown in early spring, once summer arrives, rising temperatures and increased humidity not only inhibit the formation of mushroom buds but also encourage the breeding and spread of pests and diseases, making summer management essential. 1. Choose a location with higher ground and good drainage, dig a trench 60-80 cm deep and 50 cm wide, pack the four walls firm, and spread lime powder in the trench, or spray a lime emulsion with 800 times carbendazim solution. If pests or diseases have already appeared in the growing substrate, they should be dealt with first. For those already infected with contaminating microorganisms, scrape off the contaminated areas and soak the mushroom bags or blocks in lime emulsion or 800 times carbendazim solution; for those harmed by insect pests, soak them in 800 times dichlorvos, and after drying, arrange and stack them in the trench to a height of about 40 cm, then fill the trench with sandy loam soil at about 60% moisture content. The covering soil should be 20 cm above ground level, then pat it so that it is moderately firm, with the surface forming an arch shape.

How to increase the yield of spring-planted shiitake mushrooms? Master these tips for high yields
Raise the temperature of the mushroom bed to create conditions for mushroom growth. Since the mushroom yard is still cold in early spring, natural air temperature can be used together with artificial regulation. The method is: cover the film tightly to increase the ground temperature, and at the same time choose sunny days to spread the shading materials on the shed surface thinly, letting sunlight penetrate into the mushroom yard, increasing the heat source and raising the mushroom bed temperature; at night, cover the film tightly to protect against the cold. The large day-night temperature difference in early spring can promote the occurrence of mushroom buds. Pat the mushroom logs to promote the recovery of mycelial growth. Because the climate is cold in early spring, the mycelium is mostly in a dormant state, producing no mushrooms or very few mushrooms. Generally, patting can be used
