How to cultivate oyster mushrooms? A detailed explanation of the latest cultivation techniques
Mushrooms are a type of fungal plant, and there are many varieties, with more appearing every year. New mushroom species are constantly emerging each year. What everyone usually eats at the dinner table is called the oyster mushroom, which is the most commonly seen type. Besides that, enoki mushrooms are also very common in daily life. So below, the editor will explain how to grow oyster mushrooms!
1. Oyster mushrooms have many cultivation sources. The stalks of many crops and vegetables can be used to cultivate oyster mushrooms. Things like sawdust, leaves, and rice straw can all be used to cultivate oyster mushrooms. Most people use rice straw and cottonseed hulls as the cultivation raw materials for oyster mushrooms.
2. The sterilization step is very important. Feed bags with a width of 22-25 cm, of cling film quality, are cut into 40-50 cm plastic tubes. The cultivation material is placed inside the tube. The bags must be disinfected in a steamer, steamed in steam at 100 degrees for about ten hours.
3. Making the cultivation material is also very simple. After weighing the raw materials for the cultivation material, place them on open ground, then prepare dry material and water at a ratio of 1:1.5, pour it in, and mix evenly with a rake. After mixing evenly, squeeze the cultivation material tightly with your hand. If there is water but it does not drip out, that means the water was added just right.
4. Next is inoculating the mycelium. For inoculation, use tweezers to take the spawn out of the bottle and put it into the bag. Place 3 pieces of spawn in one opening, each about the size of a bean. The tweezers used to take the spawn must first be disinfected before use. For disinfection, you can apply alcohol or use potassium permanganate. When inoculating, stay calm and try not to make any noise. Do not even talk, to avoid any possibility of bacteria entering.
5. Protect the mycelium. After inoculation, place the plastic bags in a ventilated place and let them slowly spawn-run. In winter and early spring, more can be placed, generally arranged in double rows, then covered with cling film, or covered with straw curtains. In autumn or late spring, double rows cannot be used; only single rows.
6. The final management and protection work must also be done well. After the mycelium inside has fully grown, they can be taken to the fruiting room, then placed in single rows, with 80 cm between each row, and air exchanged once a day for about an hour to keep the air in the fruiting room fresh. A spray bottle can be used to spray water to increase air humidity.
The above is the latest oyster mushroom cultivation technique. Isn't it simple? Growing oyster mushrooms yourself is actually quite easy. Putting them in bags can reduce the intrusion of bacteria and other substances, which can increase the success rate. Use bag cultivation as much as possible.
