Planting Technology and Management of Lentinus edodes

The cultivation of Lentinus edodes includes seed selection, site selection, inoculation, accumulation of bacteria, temperature control and so on. During the period of planting management, it should also be noted that the bacteria of Lentinus edodes should be carried out immediately after inoculation, and the left should do the work of changing the color of the bacteria bag, moisturizing the mushrooms and harvesting the mushrooms.

Lentinus edodes harvest should pay attention to the following points:

1. Harvesting method

Generally, when the mushroom cover is expanded by 70-80%, the edge of the mushroom cover is still curled, and the inner bacterial membrane under the fold is not long before it is harvested. At this time, the mushroom shape, quality and flavor are better. If the mushroom cover is not harvested until 90% of the cover is unfolded, the mushroom cover will still be unfolded, affecting the grade of Lentinus edodes, because the post-ripening of Lentinus edodes after harvest is more obvious. If the mushroom cover is fully unfolded, the edge of the mushroom lid appears to roll upward after baking, forming thin mushrooms, the mushroom stalk fiber increases, and the mushroom quality is poor.

two。 Post-harvest management

Lentinus edodes cultivated in Duanmu has the characteristics of one-time inoculation and mushroom production for many years. Mushrooms are often produced in spring and autumn. When the umbrella is not fully unfolded, that is, the edge of the cap is still slightly involute, and the bacterial membrane has just broken, it is the most suitable time for harvest. Its output can reach 10-15 jin / m3.

After several months of fruiting body growth and development, most of the nutrients accumulated originally developed into Lentinus edodes. In order to produce high-yield and high-quality Lentinus edodes in the second year, it is necessary to continue to restore growth and accumulate substances. Therefore, after the end of the harvest period of Lentinus edodes, we should restore the growth of mycelium and accumulate nutrients as soon as possible. After the mushroom wood is harvested, move the mushroom wood back to the storage site and repeat the previous process, that is, stacking, rehydration, shelving and so on.

3. Post-harvest classification

Once the mycelium forms the fruiting body, it can grow and develop even at higher or lower temperature, but the quality produced in this way is different. When the temperature is low, it will form "winter mushroom" with good quality, short stalk and thick meat; when the temperature is high, it is easy to form "fragrant letter" with poor quality, thin meat and long stalk.

Temperature is very important when Lentinus edodes is planted. In the formation of fruit body, must not let it in the temperature above 20 degrees, so as to avoid the emergence of low-quality shiitake mushrooms.
