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.

Seven Tips for Improving the Effectiveness of Oral Fish Medication
1. Prevention is the key. For fish living in water, disease is hidden and hard to detect. Once dead fish are found, the losses are great, and treating fish diseases is relatively difficult. Therefore, the guiding principle of "prevent disease before it occurs, treat it early when it does, and prioritize prevention over treatment" should be actively implemented, and the concept of focusing on preventive medication should be established. 2. Cleverly combine Chinese and Western medicines. Chinese herbal medicines have a long duration of efficacy in treating fish diseases, few side effects, and low prevention and treatment costs; Western medicines are characterized by rapid efficacy and high cost. Practice has proven that mixing certain Western medicines into effective Chinese herbal medicines can both rapidly improve efficacy and reduce costs.
