Detailed Guide to Mushroom Cultivation Techniques: Planting Methods and Management Essentials

First, you need to buy mushroom logs, and it is best to buy ones that have already grown white mycelium. Place the mushroom logs in a dark place and spray water at regular times every day. After the mushrooms emerge, do not water them directly; just keep the mushroom logs moist and maintain the temperature at 20-28 degrees. After about a week, the cultivated mushrooms can be harvested and eaten.

1. Buying Mushroom Logs

Now that logistics are fairly well developed, you can buy mushroom logs directly online, and the price is relatively cheap; generally they cost only 5 yuan each. To prevent failure, you can buy a few extra as backups. When buying mushroom logs, it is best to buy ones that have already grown white mycelium, as this helps with mushroom production.

2. Mushroom Log Care

After obtaining the mushroom logs, place them in a dark place and spray water at regular times every day until the mushroom logs are covered with white mycelium.

After that, open the plastic bag on the topmost mushroom log that is covered with white mycelium, expose one end, cover it with a wet towel, and place it in a foam box or plastic box. Note that before fruiting, spray water once every morning and evening.

3. Mushroom Management and Harvesting

After about a week, small mushrooms will successively grow out from the top of the mushroom log (occasionally some will also emerge from the sides). After the mushrooms emerge, there is no need to water them directly; just continue to keep the mushroom log moist and maintain the temperature at 20-28 degrees Celsius.

After about a week, the cultivated oyster mushrooms can be harvested and eaten. When picking, gently twist off the mushrooms at the base, and do not damage the mushroom log, so that mushrooms can quickly grow again afterward.

Friendly reminder: If the mushroom log becomes moldy or turns green during the mushroom cultivation process, discard it immediately and do not eat the mushrooms growing on it, so as to avoid poisoning and harm to your health.
