How to grow white fungus for high yields? Here are the methodsTo achieve high yields when cultivating white fungus, you can refer to the following methods:
1. White fungus growing medium preparation:
50 kg cottonseed hulls, 10 kg wheat bran, 1.5 kg gypsum powder, 0.25 kg magnesium sulfate, 50 kg water. First, mix the cottonseed hulls evenly with warm water, pile them together and let them sit for about 1 hour, then dissolve the magnesium sulfate in water, mix in the gypsum powder and wheat bran, pour everything together into the cottonseed hulls, and stir repeatedly until evenly mixed, without letting it form clumps or lumps.
2. White fungus inoculation method:
Put the evenly mixed growing medium into plastic bags, punch 4 inoculation holes on the front of each bag, 2 cm deep and 1.5 cm wide, and stick on adhesive plaster specially made for white fungus. Then place the bags on a steamer, keep at 100°C for 8-10 hours, stop the fire and cool to 20°C, then move them into a sterile room, open the adhesive plaster, inoculate with white fungus spawn, and stick the adhesive plaster back on. Each bottle of spawn can inoculate 25-30 bags.
3. Indoor cultivation and management methods for white fungus:
The cultivation room should be washed clean and fumigated with sulfur for disinfection, and mushroom beds should be set up, 5-7 layers high. The first 4 days after the bags enter the room are the mycelium culture stage, and the indoor temperature should be 28-30°C; from the 5th day onward, a room temperature of 25°C is suitable.
The indoor relative humidity is 70%, with ventilation 1-2 times a day for 15-20 minutes each time. After 10 days of culture, when the mycelium has grown all around the inoculation holes, uncover the adhesive plaster at the inoculation openings to let air in, with a room temperature of 20-23°C being suitable, and ventilate 3-4 times a day for 20-30 minutes each time.
After 15-18 days, small white fungus fruiting bodies appear. At this point, remove the adhesive plaster and cover them with old newspaper. After another 1 day, use small scissors to cut away a 1 cm wide strip of film around the inoculation holes, with a room temperature of 23-25°C being suitable; spray water 1-2 times in winter and 3-4 times in summer.
4. White fungus harvesting and processing:
When the white fungus fruiting bodies have grown for 30-35 days and are snowflake-shaped and springy to the touch, you can use a sharp knife to cut off the whole cluster at the base, remove impurities, sun-dry for 2-3 days on sunny days, and then put the dried white fungus in plastic bags. If rainy weather occurs, they can be dried over a low fire at 50-60°C.
