How to Grow Huagu Mushrooms? A Detailed Guide to High-Yield Huagu Cultivation Techniques

SummaryMushroom shed: it needs to be ventilated at all times. Temperature: the average daily temperature is best at 26 to 28 degrees. Preparing the culture material: wood chips are preferred; use a grinder to mix 2kg potassium dihydrogen phosphate + 175kg wheat bran + 18kg gypsum powder + 2kg lime into the culture material. Bagging and sterilization: complete within 6-7 hours. Inoculation: inoculation should be done in the morning or evening. Cultivation: after inoculation, sprouting occurs in 1-6 days, and the time to fruiting is 60-70 days.

Huagu mushrooms can relieve fatigue and treat other symptoms, so today Huagu mushroom cultivation is very popular. Regarding the sowing techniques for Huagu mushrooms, improvements have now been made, and even relatively high-tech methods are used for cultivation. Of course, most people use traditional methods to cultivate Huagu mushrooms, so how should we usually grow Huagu mushrooms? Follow along with the editor below to learn about it.

How to Grow Huagu Mushrooms

1. Choose an inoculation site, and keep a dry, clean, open inoculation room, with no contamination within the protection area, and it needs to be in a location with very good ventilation. When cultivating and inoculating Huagu mushrooms, it is necessary to choose sunny and dry weather to effectively increase the inoculation survival rate.

2. The inoculation season is in winter, and inoculation is done in an open form; it cannot be at low temperature, because high temperature during inoculation is very likely to easily cause the Huagu mushrooms to be contaminated by bacteria. Besides winter, you can also choose to carry out open inoculation in spring, summer, and autumn, and usually it should be suitable.

3. You need to choose a suitable strain, so you need to choose a strain that is relatively strong; varieties that can tolerate high temperatures are the first choice, for example, some varieties that can grow very well mainly in winter and spring, and in the hot summer.

4. The place where shiitake mushrooms are grown must be clean and hygienic, and the workers doing the growing must be skilled. Before planting, disinfect the growing area, and disinfect it immediately after a certain period of time. In the case of plastic sheets, cover them with disinfectant to complete the operation, and one group cooperates multiple times in the inoculation work.

High-Yield Cultivation Techniques for Huagu Mushrooms

1. Mushroom shed construction, mushroom strain selection, and cultivation time

For the cultivation of Huagu mushrooms, ventilation is needed at all times. On flat terrain, the length of the high shelf in the mushroom shed is 2.4 m, and the width and height each need to be 6 m and 2.6 m respectively. Huagu mushrooms have just been planted, and under long-term low temperature they become aged; the selection of a good Huagu mushroom strain is to choose a configured strain that can be selected at a relatively low temperature. The average daily temperature is best at 26 to 28 degrees, and after 60 to 70 days of mycelial growth the fungus bags are fully covered, and after another 10-15 days there can be different color changes. Generally, in November there can already be small Huagu mushrooms.

2. Preparing the culture material

Prepare the cultivation materials, with wood chips preferred; use a grinder to mix 2kg potassium dihydrogen phosphate + 175kg wheat bran + 18kg gypsum powder + 2kg lime into the culture material. Use apple, pear, peach trees and other broadleaf tree tung oil branches, and add 2 kg lime powder to the selected prepared medium; turn and stir these nutrients 3-4 times. On the other hand, improving the sprayable mixture of the substrate can inhibit harmful bacterial fermentation.

3. Bagging and sterilization

Complete within 6-7 hours. Place in a plastic cylinder, and after covering the ground with bags and producing a good nutrient polyethylene film, load the tape into a sterile pressure tank and light the fire, while keeping the tank temperature at 70 degrees. Indoor inoculation needs to be transported to 100 degrees C within 4-6 hours.

4. Huagu mushroom inoculation

Sometimes everyone chooses a good product and disinfects it before inoculation, leaving it for 7-10 days for inoculation. In a room with 0.5 km of sterile formaldehyde gas, open fumigation for 4 days; inoculation should be carried out in the morning or evening.

5. Cultivation management

After inoculation in Huagu mushroom cultivation management, it will be in a sprouting state in 1-6 days, with no ventilation needed. At this time, it is necessary to control the indoor temperature within the range of only 28 degrees. For Huagu mushrooms at 7-10 days, control the temperature below 26 degrees and provide ventilation for 30 minutes each time. From 11-15 days of growth there is a strong demand for aeration, and cultivate at a controlled temperature of 24 degrees. Huagu mushroom inoculation will not be lower than 16-20 days. At this time the fungus bags have also reached 22-24 degrees. To prevent aging, the temperature must be controlled and ventilation and exhaust increased. The mycelium will cover the fungus bags in 45 days, and when they bulge at 50-60 days, attention must be paid to water drainage. The time to fruiting is 60-70 days, and the management of the fruiting transition period must be done well.

How to Promote the Formation of High-Quality Huagu Mushrooms

1. Light and humidity control: at the same time avoid shining light directly onto the small Huagu mushrooms. For 2-3 cm small Huagu mushrooms, use air humidity (and maintain it at 85%-90% humidity) to prevent poor growth.

2. Adjust moisture: Huagu mushrooms mainly grow small mushrooms in a process that is not very dry; the air is dry, and they will stop growing due to Huagu mushroom growth. After Huagu mushrooms grow to 2 cm to 3 cm, the shed must not be made too dry. Strengthen humidity management and keep it at 60% to 70%. Be careful to prevent excessive humidity.

3. To prevent excessive moisture: the main reason Huagu mushrooms can grow is high humidity. During the formation of Huagu mushrooms, the air humidity in the mushroom shed is strictly controlled below 75%.

4. Control the maturity of Huagu mushrooms: for young mushrooms that have grown to 2-3 cm, management should be carried out immediately to promote the formation of Huagu mushrooms. Pay attention to controlling the shed temperature to prevent small Huagu mushrooms from growing too fast and easily opening their caps, thereby causing quality to deteriorate.

The formation process of Huagu mushrooms is mainly jointly controlled by human factors and environmental factors, with proper management of temperature and humidity, thereby promoting the growth of Huagu mushrooms. In order to improve the efficiency of artificial cultivation and achieve high quality, everyone needs to be careful in growing Huagu mushrooms.
