Why oyster mushroom transplanting gives such good yield increases

Practice has shown that thinning and transplanting densely clustered mushroom buds gives good yield increases. The transplanting method is as follows.

1. Transplant at the right time: transplant when the mushroom buds have just appeared.

2. Planting material: there are no strict requirements; they can be planted on either spawn material that has not yet fruited or material that has already been harvested. Spawn material that has not yet fruited helps the mycelium wounds from transplanting heal and the fruiting bodies develop well.

3. Transplanting method and management: transplanting should be done by digging holes in the spawn brick or spawn bed. Place the small clump of mushroom buds that has been picked into the hole that has been dug, and press firmly around it so that the mushroom buds and the spawn material on the surface of the spawn brick or bed are closely joined. After transplanting, do not water or spray immediately; wait until the mycelium has fully developed (about 7 days) before spraying a small amount of water. If too much water is sprayed, the transplanted mushroom buds will mature prematurely and the ideal yield increase will not be achieved.
