How to Grow Mushroom Spawn Bags So They Grow Faster

SummaryGrowing time: the suitable time for growing is March in spring. Choosing spawn: common varieties include shiitake, straw mushroom, oyster mushroom, button mushroom, etc. Soil requirements: loose soil, good aeration and drainage, high fertility. Planting the spawn: plant it in the soil, water appropriately, cover with a layer of plastic film, and keep the temperature at around 25°C. Growing management: water once every 1-3 days, and place in a cool, shaded spot. Harvesting tips: pick the large ones, not the small ones, and harvest about once every 7 days.

1. Growing Time

1. Mushrooms can be grown all year round, but the more suitable growing time is still March in spring, because there is more rain in spring, so the air environment is humid, and if planted during this period the survival rate is very high.

2. Mushrooms do not have very high requirements for the environment; they generally like to grow in warm and humid environments,

2. Choosing Spawn

1. Mushrooms are generally grown from spawn, and there are many varieties of mushrooms. Common varieties include shiitake, straw mushroom, oyster mushroom, button mushroom, red mushroom, black oyster mushroom, enoki mushroom, matsutake, lion's mane mushroom, button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), etc.

2. These varieties all contain different nutritional values and can have different effects, and they all like to grow in humid environments. Every time you grow mushrooms, you must first select suitable spawn.

3. During this period, you can use all-purpose flour, then add an appropriate amount of clean water and stir evenly to ferment it, or you can directly buy mushroom spawn for growing, which is simpler and more convenient.

3. Soil Requirements

Mushrooms have very high requirements for soil. They like to grow in soil that is loose, well aerated and drained, and highly fertile. Generally, special mushroom soil is used as the main medium, and an appropriate amount of humus soil and garden soil can be added to it as a substrate for growing mushrooms.

4. Planting the Spawn

1. During this period, the prepared mushroom spawn can be planted in the soil, and after planting, an appropriate amount of water should be sprayed to keep the soil moist.

2. Then cover it with a layer of plastic film or old newspaper, and afterward spray water once more. Keep the temperature at around 25°C, which can speed up the growth rate of the mushrooms. The spawn will generally grow out in about 7 days.

5. Growing Management

1. Every time you grow mushrooms, do not place them in the sunlight to grow them. If the temperature is relatively high, you need to spray an appropriate amount of water around them to increase the humidity of the air.

2. During the growing process, water once every 1-3 days. During this period, there is no need to fertilize the mushrooms; only in this way can you promote better mushroom growth.

6. Harvesting Tips

After the mushroom spawn is planted in the soil, generally wait for the mushroom seedlings to grow out, and you can harvest about once every 7 days. Each time you harvest, do not pick the young, small mushrooms; usually it is suitable to pick the relatively larger mushrooms, so that the mushrooms can keep growing and can also be harvested repeatedly later on.
