How to Grow Red Mushrooms? Detailed Explanation of Planting Techniques and Methods
Red mushrooms are a relatively rare type of fungus. Artificial cultivation techniques in our country are not very well developed, which has led to relatively little cultivation at present, but red mushrooms are indeed a good planting project. Below, let's learn some information about red mushroom cultivation together. Friends who are interested should study carefully.
1. Site Selection and Preparation
Choosing the site for growing red mushrooms is very important, because this determines their later growth. First, the place should be a shady and damp environment, preferably without direct sunlight; fungi all prefer this kind of environment. Second, the soil should be relatively moist, and it is best if there is flowing water nearby, as this facilitates the nutrient composting needed for red mushroom growth, but drainage measures must also be taken to prevent waterlogging. The soil is best if it is composted black soil, then leveled into strip-shaped plots.
2. Laying Material and Sowing
Red mushrooms cannot be sown like normal items, buried in the soil; instead, the spawn should be placed on treated bedding material to let it develop on its own. The bedding material is generally formed from straw-type substances processed through water rotting. At present, the more commonly used bedding is a mixed bedding of corn stalks and rice straw. First soak it in water until thoroughly wet, then place it in a stuffy, hot environment to pile and rot for about three days. When it shows obvious soft rot, move it to the cultivation base and cover it over the soil, about 2-3 cm thick.
3. Planting Management
After sowing, decide whether to cover with soil based on weather conditions. When the temperature is below 15°, you can surround the spawn with soil in the style of a pit to achieve a cold-protection effect, and a layer of insulation film needs to be covered on top. When the temperature is above 25°, this is not needed. Throughout the planting process, regularly check whether there is any withered spawn, and the humidity should be controlled above 70%, so that the presence of moisture in the air can be clearly felt. After the caps grow out, water in small amounts but many times, so that the caps can clearly feel the presence of moisture. The harvest period for red mushrooms is generally twice a month, lasting about 2-3 months.
The above is some relevant information about red mushroom cultivation techniques. Because the current yield is relatively low, its price has always been fairly ideal. Friends who are considering this can think about growing red mushrooms. For more information, you can follow our website.
