Adding table salt to oyster mushroom substrate can increase yields

In oyster mushroom cultivation, using carbendazim to control contamination by foreign fungi is effective, but pesticide residues remain in the mushrooms, which is harmful to human health, and the cost is relatively high. According to experiments: when cultivating oyster mushrooms on raw substrate, adding 1.5 kg of table salt per 100 kg of dry substrate (dissolved in advance in a measured amount of water) and mixing thoroughly can prevent infection by foreign fungi and also bring mushrooms out 5-7 days earlier. At the same time, because table salt is rich in sodium, calcium, magnesium and other metal ions needed for oyster mushroom growth, if a 10% salt solution is sprayed in the early stage of fruiting body differentiation and after each flush is harvested, the mushrooms can be free of pesticide residues and their quality
