How is the wine-cap stropharia cultivated with raw rice straw? Please explain the method
The cultivation of the wine-cap stropharia mainly uses raw materials such as rice straw, corn stalks and wheat straw, which are very easy to find in rural areas and cost very little. After cultivation, the spent material is also a high-quality organic fertilizer that can be used to improve the soil.
According to measurements from small-area cultivation, its biological conversion rate is as high as 100%-200%, that is, every 100 kg of dry rice straw can yield 100-200 kg of fresh mushrooms. At a fresh mushroom market price of 4 yuan per kg, 100 kg of dry rice straw can produce an output value of 400-800 yuan.
The following steps can be used for cultivating the wine-cap stropharia with raw rice straw:
① Cultivation site: choose a site that is sheltered from the wind, partially shaded and well drained, and spread lime on the ground or spray dichlorvos.
② Land preparation: shape the soil into a turtle-back form, 10-15 cm high and 80-100 cm wide.
③ Treatment of cultivation materials: cut the rice straw to 2-3 cm long, then soak it in 1% lime water to soften it for 2-3 days, take it out and let it drain until, when squeezed by hand, water drips between the fingers.
④ Building the pile and inoculation: pile the straw to a thickness of 20-25 cm, press it flat and firm, use one bag of spawn per sq m, sow in two layers, using the spot-inoculation method. After inoculation is completed, cover with rice straw or other covering material to keep warm and moist.
⑤ Mushroom induction and casing soil: after inoculation, regularly observe humidity and pests and diseases. When the material is found to be too dry, spray water in time; when there are pests or diseases, spray dichlorvos to kill them. After the mycelium has fully grown, cover with soil (2-3 cm thick) to induce mushroom formation.
⑥ Harvesting: it is best to harvest before the veil breaks and the cap flattens, picking single mushrooms or whole clusters. Generally, 3-5 flushes of mushrooms can be harvested, with 15-25 days between flushes.
