The technique of growing fungus in the open air is an environmentally friendly and economical agricultural practice that makes full use of the conditions of light, temperature and humidity in the natural environment to cultivate high-quality fungus products. The following will explain the various aspects of this technology in detail, and delve into the scientific principles and practical points behind it.
First of all, seed selection and strain culture are the basic links of open-air planting of fungus. Varieties such as black fungus and hairy fungus are often selected for open-air cultivation because of their strong adaptability and high yield. The selection and cultivation of strains is very important, and high-quality strains can ensure the growth vitality and disease resistance of fungus. When purchasing strains, you should choose a reputable ** dealer to ensure the purity and activity of the strains. In-house culture requires a certain amount of microbiological knowledge and skills, including aseptic operation, strain isolation and culture.
Secondly, site selection and preparation is also a key step in the open air planting fungus. The ideal venue should be well-ventilated, sunny, and well-drained. These conditions help to maintain the right temperature and humidity to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases, as well as to facilitate the growth and development of the fungus. Clearing the site of weeds and trash and keeping the ground clean can reduce the breeding and spread of pests and diseases. Build a simple shade net or scaffolding, which can adjust the light intensity and rain impact, and protect the fungus from adverse effects.
Next, the preparation of planting materials and inoculation culture are the core links of open-air planting of fungus. Fungus typically grows on organic matter such as wood chips, cottonseed husks, corn cobs, etc., which are rich in nutrients and water needed for the growth of fungus. Mix these materials well, add the right amount of nutrients and water, and make a culture medium. Then, inoculate the culture evenly onto the medium and stack it under a shade net or trellis. During this process, maintain a suitable temperature and humidity, and regularly turn the medium to make it evenly exposed to air and moisture, which is conducive to the growth and spread of mycelium.
Management and harvesting are the later stages of growing fungus in the open air. During the growth period of fungus, regular inspection and management are required, including observing the growth status of fungus, adjusting humidity and ventilation conditions, preventing and controlling pests and diseases, etc. When the fungus grows to a certain size, it can be picked. The fungus after picking should be dried or dried in time for long-term preservation. It should be noted that open-air planting of fungus is greatly affected by weather and environmental factors, and it is necessary to flexibly adjust the management and planting methods according to the actual situation.
Finally, planting fungus in the open air also needs to pay attention to environmental protection. During the planting process, the use of harmful chemicals should be avoided to reduce the pollution of soil and water sources. At the same time, the land use efficiency and ecological benefits can also be improved through reasonable planting layout and management measures.
Overall, open-air fungus cultivation is an integrated agricultural practice that combines biology, ecology, and agricultural techniques. Through scientific seed selection, strain culture, site selection and preparation, planting material preparation and inoculation culture, management and harvesting, etc., the efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable production of fungus can be realized. At the same time, we also need to continue to learn and explore to meet various challenges and opportunities, and promote the continuous development and innovation of open-air fungus planting technology.
