The Latest Straw Mushroom Cultivation and Management Techniques Tutorial
The straw mushroom is a type of fungus mushroom with a very good taste, and its nutritional value is also very high, which is why it is welcomed by many people. Nowadays, there are also many people growing straw mushrooms, and when growing straw mushrooms, management work is very important. So how should straw mushrooms be managed during cultivation? Today, the editor brings you the cultivation and management techniques for straw mushrooms. Let us take a look together below!
1. Temperature control
Temperature is very important for the growth of straw mushrooms. About 4 days after planting straw mushrooms, attention should be paid to doing a good job of heat preservation. Later, as the temperature of the material surface rises, the film should gradually be uncovered to lower the temperature. It is appropriate to keep the material surface temperature at around 35 degrees, while the air temperature should be controlled at around 30 degrees. Then, as the straw mushrooms continue to grow, the temperature should also be adjusted appropriately. For example, during the fruiting body formation stage and the growth and development of the mushroom bodies, the material surface temperature should be controlled at around 30-35 degrees, while the air temperature should be kept at around 28-32 degrees.
2. Humidity control
Humidity is also an indispensable management task when cultivating straw mushrooms. Generally, humidity control should be carried out by combining irrigation and spraying. Before sowing straw mushrooms, the mushroom bed should first be thoroughly watered. Then, for several days after cultivation, attention should be paid not to uncover the film. The water content of the culture material should be kept at around 70%, while the humidity in the mushroom house should be controlled at around 85%. If the humidity is too low, water should be irrigated into the furrows in time. However, it should be noted that when irrigating, the material blocks should not be allowed to become wet, and when spraying, water should not be sprayed onto the material surface.
Then, during the mushroom emergence stage of straw mushrooms, the relative humidity in the air should be kept at around 90%. Usually, water should be irrigated into the furrows of the mushroom bed to keep the mushroom bed in a moist state while maintaining the water content of the culture material. The best way to maintain air humidity is to spray water into the air, and the spraying should mainly use clean water. Attention should be paid to controlling the water temperature well; it should be kept close to the air temperature, and light and frequent spraying should be the main method. Water should not be sprayed directly onto the material blocks, especially during the bud emergence stage of straw mushrooms, when spraying water onto the mushroom buds is prohibited.
3. Ventilation and light
During the mycelium growth stage, straw mushrooms have a relatively low demand for oxygen. During the mushroom emergence stage, however, the demand is relatively greater, so we should pay attention to doing a good job of ventilation. However, ventilation should not be too rapid; it is enough to let it circulate slowly. Ventilation during the mushroom emergence stage should also be combined with moisture retention. Specifically, during the mycelium growth stage, part of the plastic film should be lifted open every day at noon, then the mushroom shed should be opened for about a quarter of an hour, and after the mycelium has fully grown, the plastic film should be completely removed. Then, during ventilation at the mushroom emergence stage, spray first before ventilating, then ventilate for about 20 minutes, about three times a day. Finally, light should mainly be scattered light, and it should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
The above is a brief introduction to straw mushroom cultivation and management techniques. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and we hope it can help everyone!
