What are the precautions for growing red mushrooms? Keep these points in mind

The red mushroom is a species that is relatively rarely cultivated artificially in China, and its cultivation techniques have been passed down relatively little, so some of the points to note are not very detailed either. When growing red mushrooms, three things are generally emphasized, and these are closely related to their growth process. Let's take a look together below.

1. Temperature

The first is temperature. From planting the red mushroom spawn to its growth and formation, temperature is particular throughout, and the poor results some friends get with red mushroom cultivation are very likely caused by temperature. You should know that red mushrooms are sensitive to cold, and the temperature in the early stage does not need to be controlled too high. As far as the mycelium growth effect is concerned, generally 20°-24° is its best growth temperature, and going above or below this will cause the red mushroom mycelium to grow more slowly and be restricted. After its caps appear, the temperature should be raised appropriately. At this time the red mushroom is extremely sensitive to temperature, and the most suitable temperature for its growth should then be controlled at around 25°-28°. Growers must pay attention to these two temperature controls.

2. Bedding material

The growth nutrients of red mushrooms come largely from the bedding material, so only high-quality bedding material will let red mushrooms develop better. The mainstream bedding material at present is generally made by water-rotting items such as bean stalks and straw and then using them to cultivate red mushrooms. The first thing to note here is that the degree of water rotting should be a bit heavier; the best effect is when you can feel obvious softening by touching it with your hand and there are no hard substances. The second is that the length of the bedding material should be controlled well, generally around 30-50 cm is best. Then, the bedding material covering the spawn is best as fragments and should be diverse; for example, materials such as wheat bran have the best covering effect, with both nutrition and air permeability.

3. Humidity

Humidity is also a relatively important factor. If the humidity in the early stage does not meet the standard, the red mushroom spawn will be very difficult to incubate, and if the humidity is too high, this will cause the red mushroom mycelium to be unable to grow. When cultivating the mycelium, the air humidity should be kept at around 65%-75%, and such humidity is the most suitable for the growth of red mushroom mycelium. After the mycelium has developed and formed and the caps have also appeared, the humidity should then be raised relatively to about 75%, and it is best not to exceed 80% at the highest. The soil humidity also needs to be controlled, and the best effect is to keep the soil with an obvious sense of moisture.

Now everyone mostly grows red mushrooms in the form of greenhouses, so these factors are easier to control. Because environmental factors differ from place to place, everyone should also appropriately adjust the above data accordingly. If the effect after adjustment is better, then you can try more adjustments in other aspects. For more related data, everyone can leave a message on our website.
