Mushroom Cultivation 0 views
Symptom manifestation is mainly shown by the white mycelium of oyster mushrooms growing in a spider-web-like pattern on the surface of the bed, rapidly spreading, covering the bed surface, and surrounding the fruiting bodies. Once the base of the fruiting body is surrounded by mycelium, it becomes infected; the pathogen spreads upward along the stipe, and finally the fruiting body stops growing, its color becomes dull, and it rapidly softens, turns yellow, turns brown, and then rots. Prevention and control methods: First, strictly treat the mushroom shed. Before the mushroom shed is put into use, spray it with Mushroom Disease Eliminator King, keep it sealed for two days, then spread lime powder on the ground at 250 grams per sq m. Second, during the spawn-running period

Symptom manifestation is mainly shown by the white mycelium of oyster mushrooms growing in a spider-web-like pattern on the surface of the bed, rapidly spreading, covering the bed surface, and surrounding the fruiting bodies. Once the base of the fruiting body is surrounded by mycelium, it becomes infected; the pathogen spreads upward along the stipe, and finally the fruiting body stops growing, its color becomes dull, and it rapidly softens, turns yellow, turns brown, and then rots.

Prevention and control methods: First, strictly treat the mushroom shed. Before the mushroom shed is put into use, spray it with Mushroom Disease Eliminator King, keep it sealed for two days, then spread lime powder on the ground at 250 grams per sq m. Second, spray medicine during the spawn-running period for prevention. Spray once every 5 days or so with Jinxing Disinfectant Solution at 50 times dilution, or Junjuesha at 200 times dilution, etc. Be careful not to spray the medicine directly onto the mushroom bed or spawn bags. Third, strictly treat the casing soil material. When cultivating on mushroom walls or beds, especially when using topsoil, vegetable garden soil, or soil taken on site from old mushroom areas, it must be treated with medicine for sterilization and insect killing. The treatment method is to first dry the soil in the sun, crush it, spray it with Mushroom Disease Eliminator King at 60 times dilution and phoxim at 600 times dilution, mix while spraying, and after mixing well, cover with plastic film and pile it up to smother. After 7 days, uncover the film, spread it out, and use it after the odor is gone. Fourth, in the early stage of the disease, dig out the casing soil of the diseased part together with the growing medium (expanded by about 10 cm), and sprinkle Junjuesha medicinal powder to seal the opening, stop spraying water into the mushroom shed, and increase ventilation, and the shed temperature should be lowered as much as possible.
