How to Manage Shiitake Mushrooms After Fruiting? The Latest Technical Key Points
Mushrooms are a very delicious type of fungi vegetable and are extremely popular in our country. Many people in our country are now cultivating shiitake mushrooms on a large scale, and the cultivation methods for shiitake mushrooms are completely different from ordinary vegetables. Management during the fruiting period of shiitake mushrooms is very important. If management is poor, it will greatly affect the quality and yield of shiitake mushrooms. So below, the editor brings you the management methods after shiitake mushrooms have fruited. Let's take a look together!
1. Day-night temperature difference
The management work after shiitake mushrooms have fruited is very important, because under normal sowing time, the fruiting period generally occurs in late autumn. The temperature in late autumn has gradually decreased, especially at night when the temperature drops sharply. Therefore, after shiitake mushrooms have fruited, we must pay attention to the day-night temperature difference. During the day, cover the plastic film well to ensure the temperature inside the film is higher than outside the film. Then at night, uncover the plastic film at the appropriate time to lower the temperature, which is beneficial to the formation of mushroom buds.
2. Control humidity
After successful fruiting and color change, humidity should be maintained at around 84% in the early stage, and then appropriately reduced as the shiitake mushrooms gradually differentiate mushroom caps. In autumn, because shiitake mushrooms have a certain water storage capacity, the amount of watering can be appropriately reduced. After harvesting the first batch of shiitake mushrooms, do not water. Uncover the plastic film for ventilation, and cover it again after about 2 days. Raise the temperature to provide growing temperature for the mycelium. When mycelium appears at the harvested shiitake mushroom holes, water again to promote the growth of new mushrooms.
3. Ventilate in time
Ventilation work after fruiting has a very large impact on the growth of shiitake mushrooms. We must control the ventilation frequency according to changes in the surrounding temperature. When the temperature is above about 22 degrees, ventilate at least three times a day to lower the temperature and prevent heat damage to the shiitake mushrooms. If the temperature is below 16 degrees, the ventilation frequency can be reduced to 1 time/day. The main purpose is to ensure that the shiitake mushroom fruiting bodies have sufficient fresh air and suitable temperature during growth, and to prevent adverse growth reactions.
4. Ensure light
Light is the key to ensuring healthy growth of shiitake mushrooms, but when providing light, sunlight must not shine directly on the shiitake mushrooms. Shading measures should be done well to ensure that the light absorbed by the shiitake mushrooms is scattered light. Because if shiitake mushrooms are directly exposed to sunlight, the impact on their growth is very great. In mild cases, it inhibits the growth of shiitake mushrooms; in severe cases, it causes them to die. Light should not be too strong; being able to read books and newspapers is enough.
5. Prevent contaminating fungi
⟦NL>Shiitake mushrooms themselves are a kind of fungus, and if poorly managed, they can be infected by other fungi, bacteria, and other contaminating microorganisms. This causes various diseases and pests in shiitake mushrooms, resulting in phenomena such as rotten mushrooms and soft mushrooms, seriously affecting yield and reducing the quality of shiitake mushrooms. Therefore, after shiitake mushrooms have fruited, appropriately spray carbendazim wettable powder and other agents in the mushroom house to do a good job in preventing and controlling contaminating fungi, preventing harm to the growth of shiitake mushrooms.
The above is a brief introduction to management methods after shiitake mushrooms have fruited. The resistance of shiitake mushrooms is relatively weak, so during the cultivation process we need to do a good job in management. Prevent some unnecessary losses and avoid affecting your own economic benefits from cultivation. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
