How to handle oyster mushrooms during the flush transition period? A detailed guide to practical management methods

Mushroom Cultivation 0 views
When oyster mushrooms are in the flush transition period, the first step is to remove mushroom stumps and dead mushrooms. Use a sharp knife to dig out the roots without leaving any residue, and pull out the dead mushrooms. Second, for wall-style fruiting, use wooden sticks with a diameter of 2 cm to 3 cm to make holes in the mushroom wall, driving them from top to bottom to a point 20 cm from the bottom layer, then pour the prepared nutrient water into the holes. Irrigate little but often, and add enough water. The nutrient water can be rice-washing water, mushroom root soup, urea water, etc. For ground-cultivated fruiting, the nutrient water can be poured into the pool along with the irrigation water. Third, after pouring the nutrient water, stop watering for 5 to 7 days. During this time, keep the air humidity at

When oyster mushrooms are in the flush transition period, the first step is to remove mushroom stumps and dead mushrooms. Use a sharp knife to dig out the roots without leaving any residue, and pull out the dead mushrooms.

Third, after pouring the nutrient water, stop watering for 5 to 7 days. During this time, keep the air humidity at 70% to 80%, not too low and not too high. If the humidity is below 70%, the surface of the mycelium dries out and hardens, which affects the next flush of mushrooms; if the humidity is above 80%, the next flush will occur too early, and when nutrients are insufficient, the small mushroom buds will die from lack of nutrients.

Fourth, during the flush transition stage, the temperature can be appropriately raised to let the mycelium rest and recover, laying a nutritional foundation for the next flush. At this time, note that the temperature inside the mycelium must not exceed 25 degC, otherwise the mycelium will die under high temperature. If it exceeds 25 degC, cool it down and irrigate promptly.

Fifth, after 5 to 7 days, raise the air humidity to 80% to 90% and carry out normal management for the next flush.
