How to manage shiitake mushrooms after fruiting

The mushroom is a very delicious fungal vegetable and is very popular in our country. Nowadays many people in our country also grow shiitake mushrooms on a large scale, and the cultivation method of shiitake mushrooms is very different from ordinary vegetables. Management during the fruiting period of shiitake mushrooms is very important. If management is poor, the quality and yield of shiitake mushrooms will be greatly affected. So below, the editor brings you the management methods after shiitake mushrooms fruit. Let's take a look!

1. Day-night temperature difference

The management work after shiitake mushrooms fruit is very important, because under normal sowing time, the fruiting period generally occurs in late autumn. The temperature in late autumn has gradually decreased, especially at night when the temperature drops sharply. Therefore, after shiitake mushrooms fruit, we should pay attention to the day-night temperature difference. Cover the plastic film well during the day to ensure the temperature inside the film is higher than the temperature outside the film. Then uncover the plastic film at the appropriate time at night to lower the temperature, which is beneficial to the formation of mushroom buds.

2. Control humidity

After successful fruiting and color turning, humidity should be maintained at around 84% in the early stage, and then appropriately reduced after the shiitake mushrooms gradually differentiate and form caps. In autumn, because shiitake mushrooms have a certain water storage capacity, the amount of watering can be appropriately reduced. After harvesting the first batch of shiitake mushrooms, do not water. Uncover the plastic film for ventilation, and cover it again after about 2 days. Raise the temperature to provide growing temperature for the mycelium. When mycelium appears at the harvested shiitake mushroom holes, water again to promote the growth of new mushrooms.

3. Timely ventilation

Ventilation after fruiting has a very large impact on the growth of shiitake mushrooms. We should control the ventilation frequency according to changes in the surrounding temperature. When the temperature is above about 22°C, ventilate at least three times a day to lower the temperature and prevent heat damage to the shiitake mushrooms. If the temperature is below 16°C, the ventilation frequency can be reduced to 1 time/day. The main purpose is to ensure that the shiitake mushroom fruiting bodies have sufficient fresh air and suitable temperature during growth, and to prevent adverse growth reactions.

4. Ensure light

Light is the key to ensuring the healthy growth of shiitake mushrooms, but when providing light, sunlight must not shine directly on the shiitake mushrooms. Shading measures should be taken well to ensure that the light absorbed by the shiitake mushrooms is scattered light. Because if shiitake mushrooms are directly exposed to sunlight, the impact on their growth is very great. In mild cases, it inhibits the growth of shiitake mushrooms; in severe cases, it causes the shiitake mushrooms to die. The light should not be too strong; being able to read a book or newspaper is sufficient.

5. Prevent foreign bacteria

Shiitake mushrooms themselves are a kind of fungus, and if management is poor, they can be infected by other fungi, bacteria, and other foreign bacteria. This causes various diseases and insect pests in shiitake mushrooms, leading to phenomena such as rotten mushrooms and soft mushrooms, seriously affecting yield. It lowers the quality of shiitake mushrooms. Therefore, after shiitake mushrooms fruit, appropriate spraying of agents such as carbendazim wettable powder in the mushroom house is needed to do a good job in preventing and controlling foreign bacteria and prevent harm to the growth of shiitake mushrooms.

The above is a brief introduction to the management methods after shiitake mushrooms fruit. The resistance of shiitake mushrooms is relatively weak, so during the cultivation process we need to do a good job in management. Prevent unnecessary losses and avoid affecting your own economic benefits from cultivation. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
