Detailed Explanation of Key Points of High-Yield Cultivation Techniques for Straw Mushrooms

The straw mushroom is rich in nutrients and delicious in taste. It is named because it often grows in moist, rotting rice straw. Below is an introduction to high-yield cultivation techniques for straw mushrooms.

1. Site selection and shed construction

The cultivation site should be chosen on loose, fertile land with good air circulation, close to a water source, convenient drainage, and away from pollution sources. The length and width of the shed depend on the site.

2. Selection of raw materials and spawn

Choose corncobs as the raw material. Of course, other materials such as rice straw, wheat straw, and cottonseed hulls can also be chosen, but the conversion rate of corncobs remains stable at about 100%. You may choose a large-root strain, whose mushrooms are large, turn over quickly between flushes, fruit early, and have high yield.

3. Spreading material and spawning

Take out the soaked corncobs, spread them on both sides of the walkway, spread half of them, sprinkle a layer of cow dung powder, and sow a layer of spawn.

4. Covering with soil and building small arched sheds

Cover with soil 2-3 days after spawning. When covering with soil, directly cut soil from between the walkways. The soil covering thickness is 23 cm. After covering with soil, build small arched sheds directly on the beds, cover them with plastic film, and do not press the edges firmly.

The straw mushroom is plump, thick-fleshed, short-stemmed, and extremely delicious, so it is known as “orchid mushroom” and “delicious volva mushroom.”
