What to Do When Mushrooms Fruiting in the Middle of Edible Mushroom Cultivation Bags

When cultivating oyster mushrooms in plastic bags, the wall-style cultivation method with fruiting at both ends is generally used. After mushroom primordia are found, untie the bag openings and stack them into a mushroom wall of 5 to 10 layers to let them fruit. Mushrooms fruiting in the middle of the plastic bag (generally more solitary mushrooms), the main reasons are: loose filling of the substrate, gaps between the substrate and the bag; the bag being punctured during work; unsuitable cultivation environment, such as excessive temperature difference, high relative air humidity, etc., all of which promote the formation of fruiting body primordia in the middle of the substrate bag. If small mushroom primordia appear, you should forcefully massage the small primordia with your hand a few times to make the primordia shrink, prompting fruiting from both ends, which is convenient for management. According to experiments, fruiting all over the body after removing the bag and fruiting at both ends yield basically the same output, and the quality of fruiting at both ends is better.
