Planting techniques of Pleurotus ostreatus

Pleurotus ostreatus is a kind of large mycorrhizal fungi, which is widely distributed all over the world. China is mainly distributed in Fujian, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Henan, Sichuan, Guangxi and other provinces.

I. selection of sites

Fungi prefer a damp environment, preferably without direct sunlight. Choose the soil to be moist, and there should be running water nearby, so as to facilitate the nutrient composting needed for the growth of red mushrooms, but good drainage measures should be taken to prevent stagnant water. The soil is preferably composted black soil, flattened into strips of vegetable fields.

II. Laying and sowing

Put the strain on top of the treated cushion and let it grow on its own. The bedding material is generally made of straw through water rot processing. At present, the mixed cushion of corn straw and rice straw is commonly used, first soaked in water to soak through, and then placed in a muggy environment for about three days. Wait until it has obvious soft rot, and then move to the planting and cultivation base, covering 2-3 cm thick on the soil.

III. Planting management

After sowing, it depends on the weather conditions to decide whether to cover the soil. When the temperature is less than 15 °, the soil can be shown as a pit around the bacteria in order to achieve the effect of cold protection, and it is necessary to cover it with an insulation film, but not if the temperature is above 25 °. During the whole process of planting, it is necessary to regularly check whether there are wilted bacteria, and the humidity should be controlled above 70%, and the presence of water in the air can be clearly felt. After the growth of the bacterial cap, the bacterial cap can obviously feel the existence of water, and apply water for a small number of times. The harvest time of red mushroom can be harvested twice a month, lasting about 2-3 months.

Most species of Pleurotus ostreatus are edible, nutritious and delicious, with the laudatory name of "king of mushrooms". It is a good product of natural nutrition and has high nutritional value.
