The cultivation method of oyster mushrooms
Oyster mushrooms, also known as Xiuzhen mushrooms, are a delicious and nutritious edible mushroom that requires a series of steps and conditions to be taken into account during its cultivation. Here are some suggestions for oyster mushroom cultivation:
Infrastructure preparation
Choosing a Planting Medium:The planting substrate of oyster mushrooms usually chooses substances with high organic matter such as straw and corn cob. These substrates have good aeration and moisturizing properties, which contribute to the growth of oyster mushrooms.
Preparation of planting containers:You can choose plastic bags, wooden boxes, etc. as planting containers for oyster mushrooms. Make sure the container has proper drainage holes to prevent water retention.
Inoculation of oyster mushroom species
Buy quality cultures:Choose regular channels to purchase high-quality oyster mushroom strains to ensure the vitality and purity of the strains.
Timely vaccination:Sprinkle the culture evenly on the surface of the substrate and gently pat it firmly. Close the container as soon as possible after inoculation to provide a suitable environment for oyster mushrooms.
Environmental controls
Temperature and humidity control:The suitable temperature for the growth of oyster mushrooms is between 18°C - 25°C, and the humidity is maintained above 90%. Use a sprayer to keep the environment moist and conducive to the growth of oyster mushrooms.
Lighting Management:During the growth of oyster mushrooms, the light requirements are not high, but it is necessary to maintain a moderate shade, and a shading net can be set in the growing area.
Timely ventilation
Maintain good air circulation:Maintaining good air circulation helps in the expulsion of carbon dioxide and prevents excessive carbon dioxide concentrations. The greenhouse vent can be opened or the ventilation equipment can be set up in a timely manner.
Avoid direct wind blowing:Avoid direct strong wind blowing on the oyster mushroom to prevent its water loss and affect the quality.
Regular management and harvesting
Regular water spraying:During the growth process, water should be sprayed regularly to keep the substrate moist to promote the growth of oyster mushrooms.
Timely harvest:When the cap of the oyster mushroom is unfolded and the folds are initially white, it indicates that it is ripe and ready for harvesting. Pick gently and avoid spoilage.
Through the above cultivation methods, high-quality oyster mushrooms can be cultivated in a suitable environment. At the same time, pay attention to regular inspection and management, and adjust the growth environment in time, which will help to improve the yield and quality of oyster mushrooms.
