Detailed Explanation of the Plastic Shed Cultivation Method for Button Mushrooms

Using plastic film sheds to cultivate mushrooms offers simple construction, easy dismantling, cleaning and disinfection, and good heat and moisture retention, producing mushrooms with high yield and good quality.

For the shed site, choose a spot near the village edge with relatively high terrain, convenient water sources, open surroundings, and beneath tree shade with a composting yard. Use wooden strips, bamboo poles, hemp stalks, reeds, rattan, wire and similar materials as building materials. The mushroom shed should face south, with its size and height determined by the terrain and cultivation area. Inside the shed there are 5 to 6 layers, with 65 cm between layers and a width of 1.3 to 1.6 m. Build the shed and the racks at the same time, joining them tightly to increase sturdiness. Cover the shed roof and surroundings with plastic film, drape straw curtains over the film for warmth and shade, press the film hanging down on all sides into the ground with soil or wooden strips, and install ventilation windows in the shed walls at regular intervals. The cultivation and management methods are basically the same as those for indoor bed cultivation.
