The Latest Enoki Mushroom Cultivation Techniques and Methods Tutorial
Enoki mushroom is a fungal vegetable. Enoki mushrooms are widely distributed around the world and are a type of fungal food with very high dietary therapy value. However, enoki mushrooms do not contain chlorophyll, so they do not perform photosynthesis, and therefore their cultivation techniques are also somewhat different. So if you want to cultivate enoki mushrooms on a large scale, how should you go about it? Below, the editor brings you the cultivation techniques for enoki mushrooms. Let's take a look!
1. Raw Material Preparation
The cultivation raw materials for enoki mushrooms are mainly various nutrients, such as wheat bran, superphosphate, cornmeal, etc. Make sure the nutrition is comprehensive, then control the proportions and stir them evenly. The humidity of the raw materials should be maintained at about 70%, and after sealing for about 3 hours, bagging work can be carried out. When cultivating enoki mushrooms, the main cultivation steps are spawn running and fruiting. Therefore, we also need to prepare a spawn-running site and a fruiting site. The spawn-running site must ensure good heat preservation capacity and strong ventilation. The fruiting site should be kept dark, cool and somewhat sealed.
2. Cultivation Time
During cultivation, we should make full use of natural temperature. Enoki mushrooms are suitable for growing in a cool environment, and each growth stage has different temperature requirements. Therefore, when cultivating, we should do it in autumn and other seasons with suitable temperatures. In this way, natural temperature can be used to cultivate the mycelium. And after the mycelium matures, the temperature gradually drops, which is exactly the growth temperature for its fruiting bodies. However, when planting, we should also reasonably adjust the cultivation time according to the planting region. And in order to meet the market demand for enoki mushrooms in summer, cold storage cultivation can be carried out.
3. Timely Inoculation
Before inoculation, the plastic bags and inoculation box must be disinfected. The disinfectant is mainly potassium permanganate, and about half an hour is enough. During inoculation, be sure to follow the procedure. After inoculation, promptly place them in the cultivation room. Control temperature and other environmental factors well. After about one day, the mycelium will begin to grow. Keep the temperature at about 22 degrees, and within about two months the bags will be full. Different inoculation times will also lead to different mycelium growth conditions. Therefore, we should also reasonably choose the inoculation time according to the planting region and season.
4. Daily Management
During the cultivation of enoki mushrooms, they are very susceptible to contamination by foreign bacteria, so we should pay attention to preventing and controlling foreign bacteria. After discovering foreign bacteria, timely corresponding measures should be taken. We should promptly scrape out the old mycelium to facilitate the growth of the enoki mushroom fruiting bodies. Then control temperature and humidity well. The humidity should not be too high or too low; too high can easily lead to contamination by foreign bacteria. During the growth of enoki mushroom fruiting bodies, pay attention to providing an appropriate amount of scattered light to promote the joint growth of the stipe and cap. When the stipe grows to about 16-18 cm, it can be harvested at the proper time.
The above is a brief introduction to enoki mushroom cultivation techniques. Cultivating fungi is relatively troublesome. So before cultivating, everyone must master the cultivation techniques well to avoid planting failure. That is all for today's introduction.
