Detailed Explanation of Mushroom Cultivation Ingredient Mixing and Bagging Methods

Ingredient Mixing and Bagging When using mixed wood sawdust from a sawmill, it must be combined with 50% fresh sawdust to promote the growth of mushroom mycelium. Each room requires 1000 kg of sawdust, 200 kg of bran, 1 kg of 50% carbendazim, and 1200 kg of water mixed into the material, which helps kill contaminating microorganisms. The ratio of material to water is 1:1, mix evenly. The standard for dryness and moisture is that it forms a ball when squeezed in the hand, but no water droplets can be squeezed out, and it falls apart when the hand is released. The appropriate water content inside the mushroom bag is 56%. After the culture medium is prepared, bagging should be carried out immediately. For cultivation bags of the 24 cm x 55 cm specification, generally each bag holds about 2 kg of dry material and about 4 kg of wet material. When bagging, first tie off and melt-seal one end. Bagging should follow the principle of "better firm than loose." Once the bag is full, proceed to tie off the opening and tie it tightly. 500 bags per room is appropriate.
