What to do when sawtooth mushrooms appear? Causes and control methods

Mushroom Cultivation 0 views
The young mushroom fruiting bodies develop normally, but the edges of the caps look like sawteeth, uneven and jagged. The main cause of this disease is stimulation by strong wind. When the wind is strong, humidity drops, and the young tender oyster mushroom fruiting bodies are affected by these adverse environmental conditions, which disrupts their metabolism, damages the tissue cells at the edge of the caps, and produces sawtooth-shaped oyster mushrooms. Control methods: In windy weather, do not open ventilation openings or open fewer of them. If ventilation is urgently needed, when the wind is from the north open only the vents on the south side, and when the wind is from the south open only the vents on the north side. At the same time, increase the amount of water sprayed to raise the humidity in the mushroom shed.
