Vaccination: Sprinkle the fungus seeds evenly on the surface of the mushroom bed, and then gently compact them with a bamboo tube or wooden stick to make the fungus tightly bound to the soil.
Mulching: Cover the culture with well-rotted wood chips or soil with a thickness of about 3-5 cm. After mulching, the soil should be kept moist to facilitate the growth of bacteria.
Day-to-day management: Check the soil moisture every day and keep it moist. At the same time, pay attention to ventilation to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases.
