Key points to note during the fruiting period of shiitake mushrooms: regulation of temperature and humidity differences

Increase the day-night temperature difference. In late autumn and early winter, daytime temperatures are high and nighttime temperatures are low. Cover with a layer of film during the day so that the temperature inside the mushroom bed is 2°C-3°C higher than outside the film, then open the film after 10 p.m. so the temperature drops rapidly. After several consecutive days, a large number of primordia will emerge on the surface of the mushroom logs and develop into mushroom buds. Control the humidity of the mushroom yard. After color change, initially maintain the relative humidity of the mushroom bed at about 85%. As large numbers of mushroom buds differentiate into caps and stipes, lower the air humidity to about 80%. Create a suitable dry-wet difference. In the early stage of autumn mushrooms, the internal water content of the mushroom logs is relatively sufficient and can safely

Create a suitable dry-wet difference. In the early stage of autumn mushrooms, the internal water content of the mushroom logs is relatively sufficient and can safely meet the needs of fruiting body growth for the first flush of mushrooms, so there is no need to soak the logs to force fruiting. After harvesting the first flush of mushrooms, stop spraying water, remove the film and ventilate, and let the surface of the mushroom logs dry for 1 to 3 days before covering with film again, in order to increase bed humidity and promote mycelial growth. After 2-3 days, the mushroom holes left after harvesting will turn white and grow mycelium. At this time, spray water again to increase humidity, remove the film and ventilate, and increase humidity to promote the growth of the next flush of mushrooms.
