Detailed Explanation of the Wall Soil-Covering Cultivation Technique for Oyster Mushrooms

Mushroom Cultivation 0 views
After oyster mushrooms produce three flushes, water and nutrients are heavily depleted, and yield drops sharply. With full soil-covering cultivation, not only do the mushrooms get covered in a lot of soil, but the mushroom quality is also brittle and the selling price is low. With the wall soil-covering method, oyster mushrooms not only increase in yield but are also good in quality and do not get covered in soil. The specific method is as follows. 1. Making the mushroom wall. Take the mushroom logs after the second and third flushes have been harvested, use a knife to cut one end of the mushroom bag into a 10 cm long bag tube, and slip it over the other end of the mushroom stick, arranging 2 sticks per row. Place the end with film on the outside, and in the middle of the two mushroom tubes the first layer is spaced 30

After oyster mushrooms produce three flushes, water and nutrients are heavily depleted, and yield drops sharply. With full soil-covering cultivation, not only do the mushrooms get covered in a lot of soil, but the mushroom quality is also brittle and the selling price is low. With the wall soil-covering method, oyster mushrooms not only increase in yield but are also good in quality and do not get covered in soil. The specific method is as follows.

1. Making the mushroom wall. Take the mushroom logs after the second and third flushes have been harvested, use a knife to cut one end of the mushroom bag into a 10 cm long bag tube, and slip it over the other end of the mushroom stick, arranging 2 sticks per row. Place the end with film on the outside, and in the middle of the two mushroom tubes the first layer is spaced 30 cm apart, with no limit on length. For each layer arranged, fill the middle level with crushed mushroom sticks or soil, water thoroughly, and then arrange the second layer. Each layer is set inward by 3-5 cm. Arrange them into a trapezoidal mushroom wall, generally 5-7 layers. After arranging, cover the top with 3-4 cm of crushed soil, wet the soil, and make a small water ditch. Insert a sorghum stalk or corn stalk every 50 cm in length to facilitate ventilation and downward seepage of water.

2. Management of the mushroom wall. After the mushroom wall is made, water it heavily once so that the entire mushroom wall absorbs water thoroughly. Then cover it with film for 1 week, during which no watering is needed. After 1 week, remove the film, water into the ditch, and water the entire mushroom wall once. After 3-5 days, primordia appear. Throughout the fruiting stage, add water to the ditch according to conditions to keep the mushroom wall naturally moist.

3. Harvesting. When the caps have basically expanded and the mushroom color has changed from dark to light, and the spores have not yet been discharged or only a small amount has been discharged, that is, at the eight-tenths mature stage, they can be harvested. Harvesting too early will affect yield, and too late will affect quality and the growth of the next flush. After each harvest, promptly clean off the mushroom stems and roots left at the bag opening. At this time, stop spraying water on the two fruiting ends for 2-3 days, and only add water to the ditch. After 1 week, water thoroughly once and wait for the arrival of the second flush. Generally, 3 to 4 flushes of mushrooms can be harvested.
