The following growing methods can be referred to for growing white beech mushrooms:
After the mushroom bags of white beech mushrooms are fully colonized with mycelium, they cannot fruit directly like oyster mushrooms; they must go through a mycelial maturation period before they can fruit, and this maturation period often becomes a technical obstacle that many mushroom growers find hard to overcome. Depending on the characteristics of the mycelium, this stage generally takes about 30 to 60 days, and some strains even take as long as about 80 days, which is extremely inconvenient for production scheduling and greatly prolongs the production cycle.
By adopting short-cultivation high-quality high-yield cultivation techniques and through manual regulation measures, the subsequent maturation period can be greatly shortened. The basic approach is: first adjust the temperature to about 30°C so that the mycelium develops fully, then lower the temperature. For example, moving the mushroom bags into a low-temperature cold storage is a very practical approach; maintaining them in a 0°C to 10°C environment for about 15 days causes the mycelium to form self-protection under relatively unfavorable conditions, thereby accelerating its "growth" process.
When the color of the mushroom bags is whiter than before they were placed in the cold storage, a hollow-wood sound is heard when they are tapped, and the feel is relatively hard with strong elasticity, they can be moved out of the cold storage and placed in a plastic greenhouse, where the greenhouse temperature should be raised as much as possible, humidity increased, and an appropriate amount of strong light stimulation and relatively large ventilation provided. After about one week, a slightly yellow mushroom liquid appears at the inoculation block, after which the temperature should be lowered as much as possible and the mushrooms left to form primordia. This period is generally around mid-November, and keeping the greenhouse temperature below 15°C does not take much effort; it is enough to cover the straw mats well, strengthen ventilation in the morning, evening and at night, and at the same time strengthen watering of the ground and spraying of water into the air. Only 1 to 2 days of short-term temperatures below 10°C are needed for the mushroom primordia to form quickly. Generally, each fruiting surface has only 1 to 3 primordia; before they complete differentiation, thin them out and keep only 1, and under conventional conditions, high-quality mushrooms that are large, uniform, well-shaped and white can be grown.
