Indoor Cultivation Techniques for Oyster Mushrooms: A Detailed Guide to Mushroom House Setup

The mushroom house should face south, be built on high, dry ground with good drainage, close to a water source, and in a well-ventilated location; its size can be determined according to specific conditions. The design of the mushroom house must take into account the growth requirements of oyster mushrooms, favoring ventilation, moisture retention, and a certain amount of scattered light. The windows of the mushroom house should be installed on the walls at both ends of the aisle, one above and one below, with the upper window slightly lower than the eaves and the lower window 6-10 cm above the ground. The bed frames inside the mushroom house should be sturdy and neat, and convenient to work with. The bed surface is generally 0.6-1 m wide, and the bed frames generally have 4-5 tiers, with the bottom tier 0.3 m above the ground. The bed frames are mostly made of bamboo and wood, or iron and wood where conditions permit. The bed surface is covered with a layer of fine bamboo or reed matting, and 15 cm high bamboo bundles are tied around the bed frames to facilitate the use of plastic film for holding the substrate and retaining heat.
