I. Planting Time of the Shaggy Mane Mushroom
The shaggy mane mushroom is a plant with very strong environmental adaptability. Its general planting season and cultivation time are from June to August, with mushrooms emerging from September to December. For spring cultivation, the cultivation time is from November to February of the following year, and during cultivation, attention should be paid to important factors such as environmental conditions and temperature.
II. Planting Methods of the Shaggy Mane Mushroom
1. Selection of the planting site. First of all, the shaggy mane mushroom has good environmental adaptability, so it has its own methods for different conditions. The shaggy mane mushroom can not only grow on the ground, but can also grow in cellars, and it can do so in all four seasons, not limited by season, as long as it can be provided.
2. Fermentation of the cultivation raw materials. The seeds must first be fermented, and the cultivation raw materials must also be fermented at the same time. After covering with a straw curtain, it must not be turned for two days; only on the third day can this be done. Turning the material is also a process of inspection. We need to swap the positions of the shaggy mane mushroom spawn so that it is heated evenly during fermentation, then do a good job of venting it, and then cover it with plastic film.
3. Removing the bags and covering with soil to produce mushrooms. Place the already fermented and nearly mature spawn bags underground for soil covering and mushroom production. First remove the spawn bags, then arrange the spawn bags over the entire bed, fill it with soil, and do not leave gaps. Then water for the first time, spray water on the soil surface every day, and let the water soak and moisten the soil. After more than three weeks, mushrooms can emerge.
III. Mushroom Emergence Management of the Shaggy Mane Mushroom
In the early stage after mushroom emergence, the shaggy mane mushroom has very high requirements for the growing environment conditions. The temperature should be controlled at 20 degrees, and the humidity at 90%. When it reaches the young mushroom stage, the environmental conditions can be relaxed a bit. It is enough to control the range of the above values. In addition, the humidity can be slightly lower or slightly higher. When it enters the mature mushroom stage, it no longer needs so much time for management; it is only necessary to do daily watering and other work well.
The above is the planting time and planting methods of the shaggy mane mushroom. When the shaggy mane mushroom is mature, ventilation is also very important. Ventilation can strengthen its respiration, reduce the breeding of bacteria in the environment, and reduce the probability of some diseases occurring.
