What kind of environment is suitable for growing tea tree mushrooms? Please introduceThe suitable growing environment for tea tree mushrooms is introduced as follows (for reference):
1. Growing temperature for tea tree mushrooms: mycelium growth temperature 5-30°C, optimum 21-28°C; fruiting body growth temperature 13-25°C, optimum 22-24°C; different strains have different requirements, and primordium differentiation does not require temperature fluctuation stimulation. Although relatively low temperatures result in slower growth, there is less contamination and the mushroom quality is higher.
2. Water and humidity for tea tree mushroom growth: the substrate can grow normally at a water content of 45-80%; a water content of 65% can accommodate a longer cultivation period, whereas growth is slower otherwise. During the mycelium growth stage, a relative humidity of 65%-70% is required; when the fruiting bodies form, a relative humidity of 85%-90% is required.
3. Air requirements for tea tree mushrooms: during the mycelium growth stage, the incubation room should be ventilated intermittently, with ventilation 1-2 times per day; during the fruiting body growth stage, the cultivation room should be ventilated frequently, with ventilation 3-6 times per day, depending on actual conditions.
4. Suitable pH for tea tree mushrooms: they prefer a neutral to slightly acidic environment. The mycelium produces very little organic acid during metabolism, and the pH of the substrate changes little, so the optimal pH of the substrate can be adjusted to 5.5-6.5.
5. Light requirements for tea tree mushrooms: no light is needed for mycelium incubation; 150-1000 lx of light is needed for primordium formation and fruiting body growth. Fruiting body growth has obvious phototropism, and under certain conditions a product with small caps and long stems can be obtained, similar to enoki mushroom cultivation.
