How much is the wholesale price of oyster mushrooms per jin? Master the cultivation technique and you can harvest four times a year

Oyster mushroom, also known as phoenix-tail mushroom, is an edible fungus that grows on plant waste such as rice straw and wheat straw. Because of its high nutritional value, tender flesh and ease of artificial cultivation, it is widely grown. So how much is the wholesale market price of oyster mushrooms per jin? What are the cultivation techniques?

1. Introduction to oyster mushroom:

1. Is oyster mushroom the same as oyster cap mushroom?

Oyster mushroom and oyster cap mushroom belong to the same category; oyster mushroom is just a variety of oyster cap mushroom. The fruiting bodies it produces are somewhat smaller than those of oyster cap mushroom, but the taste is fresher and more tender, and the growth period is shorter.

2. Where are oyster mushrooms distributed?

Oyster mushrooms are fairly widely distributed, both in China and abroad. Outside China they are found in India, and Chamba Province in southern India is the place of origin. Within China they are mainly distributed in Jilin, Fujian, Guangdong, Shanxi and other places.

2. How much is the wholesale price of oyster mushrooms per jin?

The wholesale price of oyster mushrooms is not expensive. Generally, fresh ones sell at a wholesale market price of about 5-12 yuan per kilogram, while dried oyster mushrooms sell at a wholesale market price of about 25-30 yuan per jin. However, because of differences in place of origin, market and grade, prices vary to some extent. For example, at the Beijing Fengtai Agricultural Products Central Wholesale Market, ungraded fresh oyster mushrooms wholesale at about 12 yuan per kilogram, while at the Guangzhou Baiyun District Zengcha Road Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market, grade-2 fresh oyster mushrooms wholesale at about 6 yuan per kilogram, so the specific price needs to be checked at the local market. Recent wholesale prices of fresh oyster mushrooms in markets around the country are as follows:

3. What are the cultivation techniques for oyster mushrooms?

1. Spawn selection: which variety is good to grow?

Oyster mushrooms are cultivated in much the same way as oyster cap mushrooms, so when selecting spawn, try to choose spawn with robust, snow-white mycelium and a spawn age of about 20 days for planting.

2. Disinfection of the mushroom yard: how to disinfect?

Before planting the spawn, the mushroom yard should first be thoroughly disinfected with limewater and insecticide to prevent pests and diseases. When disinfecting, try to wear a mask, close doors and windows tightly indoors, and then spray the chemicals, so that the disinfection will be more thorough.

3. Management before and after fruiting: how to manage?

Before oyster mushrooms fruit, keep the room ventilated and observe the growth of the fruiting bodies at all times. Fruiting bodies contaminated by foreign fungi should be completely removed, and countermeasures should be taken promptly. For mushroom yards exposed to sunlight, temperature control should be done well to avoid excessively high temperatures affecting mycelial growth. After fruiting, the temperature in the mushroom house is best kept between 20-25 degrees, with ventilation maintained at all times to promote primordium differentiation. For young mushrooms, indoor humidity can be raised to increase growth; never spray water directly, so as not to affect the growth of the fruiting bodies.

4. Harvesting: when is the best time to harvest?

Oyster mushrooms reach maturity after growing for 30 days, at which point they should be harvested promptly according to the condition of the fruiting bodies. After harvesting, the mushroom bed should be thoroughly cleaned, and watering stopped for 3-4 days so that the mycelium can absorb nutrients and grow again. At harvest, generally 3-4 pickings can be made, and the first two pickings can yield 80% of the mushrooms. After harvesting is complete, they can be stored by salting, drying in portions, or canning.

Overall, the wholesale price of oyster mushrooms is not expensive; generally one jin can be bought for about 5-12 yuan. However, because of differences in place of origin and market, prices vary to some extent, so when buying, it is best to check the local market. In addition, oyster mushrooms are very easy to grow; as long as you master basic management tasks such as temperature and moisture, high yields can be achieved.
