Why should Bailing mushrooms be thinned? How are Bailing mushrooms thinned? We would also like netizens with experience in cultivating Bailing mushrooms to help explainThinning Bailing mushrooms is mainly to reduce nutrient consumption and ensure the yield and quality of Bailing mushrooms, so thinning should be carried out during the fruiting stage of Bailing mushrooms. However, many mushroom growers are not very familiar with the operation of thinning Bailing mushrooms, such as thinning too early or too late, or large differences in the quality of the selected and retained mushroom buds. Therefore, Zhongdi Network has compiled the key operation points and precautions for thinning Bailing mushrooms, listed in detail below for netizens' reference.
Point one, the timing of thinning Bailing mushrooms:
When the primordia on the Bailing mushroom bags grow to the size of a peanut kernel, thinning can be carried out. If the Bailing mushroom buds are too small, it is difficult to confirm their quality and they are prone to damaging the primordia on the bags. If the Bailing mushroom buds are too large, then nutrients are consumed excessively, and at the same time the buds crowd each other and are prone to deformities.
Point two, the principles of thinning Bailing mushrooms:
For Bailing mushrooms, it is best to retain 1 young mushroom at each of the two ends of the bag, retain large buds and remove small buds; retain robust buds and remove buds with weaker growth vigor; retain buds with large caps and remove buds with long stems; retain buds with a round, neat mushroom shape and remove elongated buds; retain buds without spots or scars; retain buds that grow directly on the substrate surface and remove buds formed on the spawn blocks.
Precautions for thinning Bailing mushrooms:
The tool used for thinning Bailing mushrooms can be made from a bicycle spoke. Note that after thinning each mushroom bag, the tool must be disinfected once with 75% alcohol to avoid cross-infection by bacterial diseases; the thinning tool must not bruise the retained young mushrooms or the mycelium at the base of the young mushrooms; after thinning each bag, trim off the excess plastic at both ends of the bag and place it back in its original position.
