Detailed Explanation of Edible Mushroom Cultivation Techniques and Key Planting Management Points

There are mainly three points in edible mushroom cultivation techniques. Point one: the growing temperature is best controlled at 24-27 degrees; Point two: the logs must be dry, to the extent that after drying they have no sprouting ability, or that sap does not seep out when holes are drilled for inoculation, with a moisture content of 40-45%; Point three: after plugging the cotton plug, place them upright in an autoclave for sterilization, generally best maintained at 1.5 kg/cm² pressure for 30 minutes.

How to increase the yield of edible mushrooms?

1. Scratching the mushroom bed to promote budding

After the mushroom substrate is fully covered with mycelium, use a clean bamboo broom to gently sweep back and forth over the surface of the substrate to remove or break up the overgrown old mycelium on the surface layer. Once new mycelium is exposed, spray water promptly and cover with plastic film to retain moisture and warmth. Buds will appear in about 7 days. This method not only promotes mushroom formation but can also increase yield by about 10%.

2. Pressure stimulation

Cover the surface of the edible mushroom substrate with old newspapers, burlap pieces, fine soil, etc. Through pressure stimulation and moisture and warmth retention, this can promote rapid mycelium growth. Using this method generally increases yield by about 15%.
