A detailed explanation of how to grow Xiuzhen mushrooms will help you successfully cultivate this delicious ingredient
Xiuzhen mushroom is a kind of mushroom with the largest cultivation area in China. Due to its high nutritional content and special taste, it is well received by consumers. Next, we will talk about how one mushroom is cultivated in detail.
1.Preparation of raw materials: The raw materials needed for the cultivation of Xiuzhen mushrooms include: seeds, mushroom boxes or bags, substrates, water sources and temperature and humidity adjustment devices. The breeding of lentinus edodes is an important condition to ensure the high yield and quality of lentinus edodes.
2.Preparation of mushroom culture medium: Xiuzhen mushroom can be cultivated on different media such as straw, wheat straw, and wood chips. First of all, the substrate of the mushroom bed should be sterilized to avoid bacteria, weeds, etc. from causing harm to the growth of mushrooms. Sterilization can be done using steam, high-temperature roasting or chemicals.
3.Seedling culture: Put the sterilized fungus bed in the fungus box or fungus bag, sprinkle the fungus seeds evenly on the fungus garden, and gently spread the fungus bed on top of the fungus garden. Place the inoculated mushroom box or mushroom bag in a mushroom shed or greenhouse with suitable temperature and humidity.
4.Temperature and humidity control: Xiuzhen mushroom needs high temperature and humidity, the optimal growth temperature is 20 25, and the relative humidity is 80 90%. Heating, ventilation, sprinkling and other methods are used to adjust the temperature and humidity to create suitable growth conditions for plants.
5.Cultivation management: Mushroom seedlings germinate and hyphae form a few days after planting. During this period, it is necessary to maintain a certain humidity and ventilation to avoid excessive humidity or dryness, resulting in the undesirable growth of germs. The mycelium will sprout in 7-10 days, at which point ventilation should be increased to allow it to swell and develop.
6.Harvesting and conservation: The growth period of Xiuzhen mushrooms is usually 20 to 30 days. If the skin of the bud turns white and the cap is opened, it means that the mushroom is ripe and ready to be picked. Use a sharp tool to cut the mushrooms that have grown from the mushroom bed, leaving only a small portion for the next growth.
7.Pest control: During the cultivation period, timely detection and management of pests, pests and other problems should be carried out. Sclerotinia sclerotinia, fungal infections, and fungal infections are the main diseases. Rational use of pesticides and keeping the environment clean and ventilated are effective ways to prevent and control pests and diseases.
In short, the selection of high-quality strains, the appropriate substrate of the mushroom garden, reasonable temperature, humidity, reasonable cultivation and prevention of pests and diseases are the key points of Xiuzhen mushroom cultivation. Through its reasonable operation and management, it is possible to obtain high-quality mushrooms with high yield and high quality. When cultivating, you should first understand the cultivation instructions or consult experts to ensure the safety of cultivation.
