How to water button mushrooms? Mastering the five key points of observation is essential
First, observe the weather conditions. In sunny and dry weather or when the temperature is suitable, water more; in rainy weather or when the temperature is too high or too low, water less or stop watering. Second, observe the mushroom house conditions. Mushroom houses with serious air leakage and poor insulation should be watered more and ventilated less; mushroom houses with little air leakage and strong moisture retention should be watered less and ventilated more...
First, observe the weather conditions. In sunny and dry weather or when the temperature is suitable, water more; in rainy weather or when the temperature is too high or too low, water less or stop watering.
Second, observe the mushroom house conditions. Mushroom houses with serious air leakage and poor insulation should be watered more and ventilated less; mushroom houses with little air leakage and strong moisture retention should be watered less and ventilated more.
Third, observe the soil quality of the casing soil. If the casing soil has low clay content and poor water retention, or the casing layer is relatively thick and the soil is somewhat dry, the number of waterings should be increased; conversely, the number of waterings should be reduced.
Fourth, observe the growth vigor of the mycelium. When the mycelium is growing vigorously, water more; when the mycelium growth is poor, water less to prevent the phenomenon of mycelium regression.
Fifth, observe the size of the mushrooms. During the peak fruiting period, when the mushrooms on the bed surface are large and numerous, water more; when the mushrooms on the bed surface are small and few, or when entering the later stage of mushroom production, the amount of watering should be reduced accordingly.
