A Detailed Guide to Black-Skin Chicken-Foot Mushroom Cultivation Techniques, Price per Jin, and Investment per Mu
Large-scale artificial cultivation of the black-skin chicken-foot mushroom has low production costs, a short cycle, and high yields, and can meet people's market demand for the black-skin chicken-foot mushroom. So how do you grow the black-skin chicken-foot mushroom? The price of the black-skin chicken-foot mushroom is 35 yuan per jin, and prices vary somewhat from region to region.

—A cultivation method for growing the black-skin chicken-foot mushroom, comprising the preparation of the mother culture, the preparation of the stock culture, the preparation of the production culture, and artificial cultivation, characterized in that the steps for preparing the mother culture are:
a. Under sterile conditions, carry out spore isolation on the fruiting body of the black-skin chicken-foot mushroom to obtain fruiting body mycelium,
b. Transfer the fruiting body mycelium into a test tube containing culture medium, and culture at 19-21°C for 10-15 days to obtain mature mother culture;
The culture medium is: 1000 ml wheat straw juice, 10-15 g agar, 25 g sucrose.
The preparation method of the culture medium is: take 200 g of wheat straw, add 1000 ml of distilled water, simmer over low heat for 30-40 min, filter out the juice after cooling, add 25 g of sucrose and 10-15 g of agar to the juice, heat to dissolve, and make up to 100 ml.
The culture medium for the stock culture and the production culture contains one or a combination of several of wheat straw, peanut shells, chestnut shells, wheat straw stalks, and sorghum stalks with a lignin content higher than 20%. Preferably, the composition of the stock culture medium is: 65% wheat straw, 32% chestnut shells, 3% limestone powder, with a moisture content of 60%-65%; or 8% sorghum stalks, 61% wheat straw, 28% chestnut shells, 3% limestone powder, with a moisture content of 60%-65%.
The artificial cultivation process includes bagging, sterilization, inoculation, culturing, and casing soil cultivation, specifically: after bagging the culture material, sterilize under a pressure of 1.5 kg/cm2 for 3 hours, then cool and inoculate to obtain mushroom sticks, place the mushroom sticks in a cultivation room and culture until mature, then transfer to casing soil cultivation.
After the mycelium of the black-skin chicken-foot mushroom is physiologically mature, remove the plastic bag from the mushroom stick and cultivate with a casing soil layer of 7-9 cm; the pH of the cultivation soil is 6.5-7.0, the cultivation temperature is 22-26°C, and the humidity is 75%-80%. After fruiting, when the stalk length reaches 10-15 cm, it can be harvested and dried. In addition, in order to better stimulate the formation and development of the fruiting body, the day-night temperature difference during casing soil cultivation is controlled at 10-12°C.
How much is the investment per mu for the black-skin chicken-foot mushroom? This depends on whether there is a suitable greenhouse. If there is one, about 200,000; if not, at least 300,000.
