What to Do About Excessive Vegetative Growth of Straw Mushroom Mycelium? Detailed Control Methods
During the mycelial growth stage of straw mushroom, a large amount of white fluffy aerial mycelium forms on the surface of the substrate, sometimes even growing into a white layer of mycelial mat, which delays fruiting and leads to low yields; the cause is excessively high temperature inside the compost heap. Control methods: after inoculating straw mushroom, regularly uncover the plastic film to ventilate and lower both temperature and humidity, and do not cover with too thick a layer of straw, so as to encourage the mycelium to grow into the substrate.
