So roughly how much is the market price of golden oyster mushroom per jin? What are the cultivation techniques?
I. Introduction to golden oyster mushroom:
1. Is golden oyster mushroom the same as oyster mushroom?
Golden oyster mushroom is not oyster mushroom, but the two look very similar in appearance, so many people mistakenly think they are the same species. In fact, they are not, and as long as you look closely, they are quite easy to tell apart, so pay attention when buying.
2. Where does golden oyster mushroom come from?

II. Roughly how much is the market price of golden oyster mushroom per jin?
The market price of golden oyster mushroom is not expensive, generally around 5-7 yuan per jin, but the price varies depending on the market, place of origin and selling time.

III. What are the cultivation techniques for golden oyster mushroom?
Like other mushrooms, golden oyster mushroom is very easy to grow. The specific cultivation techniques are as follows:
1. Site selection: Where is it suitable to grow?
Golden oyster mushroom has strong adaptability and is suitable for growing in orchards, at wall corners, under trees and other places, so when choosing a site, you can choose these places for planting. Of course, you can also grow it in bottles or boxes. If planting in an orchard, you can build a bed about 9 m long, 1 m wide and 35 cm deep, pile a low wall 50 cm high around the bed, then set up a bamboo pole and cover it with plastic film or a straw curtain for later use.
2. Site disinfection: How to disinfect?
After the site is built, spread some limewater and insecticide inside the built shed, then close the door and let the miscellaneous bacteria and pests inside be completely eliminated.
3. Substrate culture: How to culture it?
You can use sawdust, rice straw, waste cotton, corncobs, leaves, paper scraps, bagasse and other materials, then add an appropriate amount of gypsum powder or sucrose, add water and stir thoroughly, then place it on the mushroom bed.
4. Spawn selection: How to choose?
To increase the survival rate of golden oyster mushroom, you need to select good spawn. Generally, spawn with white mycelium, a spawn age of about 20 days and robust growth is best.
5. Spawn cultivation: How to cultivate?
Place the selected spawn directly on the prepared substrate, then spread a layer of gauze and leave it for about 20 days. Note here that before cultivating the spawn, it is best to sprinkle some carbendazim on the prepared nutrient material to sterilize and disinfect it.
6. Cultivation management: How to manage?
(1) Management before fruiting: Keep the room ventilated and always pay attention to the indoor temperature. Generally, spores only form at 12-20 degrees, spores only germinate at 24-27 degrees, mycelium only grows at 10-35 degrees, and fruiting bodies only form at 10-30 degrees, so the temperature of each growth stage must be controlled well. In addition, always observe whether the fungal body is contaminated; if there is contamination, take timely measures to solve it.
(2) Management after fruiting: After golden oyster mushroom fruits, keep the indoor temperature at around 20-25 degrees and the humidity at around 85% to promote primordium differentiation. Do not water small mushrooms directly; just increase the indoor humidity.
7. Harvesting: When to harvest?
Generally, golden oyster mushroom can be harvested 30 days after sowing. When harvesting, harvest in batches as much as possible, and stop watering for three or four days before harvesting, then replenish water after the mycelium recovers. After harvesting, it can be made into cans, sun-dried or salted to preserve it.
