How do we grow tea mushrooms artificially?

Pleurotus ostreatus, or Pleurotus ostreatus, is a kind of edible and medicinal fungus, which is one of ten rare mushroom species that can be developed at present, which is mainly distributed in the north temperate zone and subtropical zone. The main producing areas in China are Gutian County in Fujian and Guangchang County in Jiangxi Province. It is also widely planted in Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang and other places. Tea tree mushroom taste pure, delicious, delicate mushroom cover, mushroom stem crisp, nutritional value is also very rich, containing many essential amino acids and proteins, as well as rich vitamins and minerals, with heat-clearing and detoxification, liver and eye, spleen diuretic effect, is very beneficial to the human body, is a very healthy food.

Under natural conditions, Pleurotus ostreatus generally grows in and around the decaying roots of Camellia oleifera forest, mainly at the turn of spring and summer and around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because the wood of Camellia oleifera is hard and the rate of decay is slow, so the growth cycle of tea mycelium is very long. So how do we grow tea mushrooms artificially?

How to plant Pleurotus ostreatus

1. Temperature

Tea tree mushroom is a kind of medium temperature edible fungus, the most suitable temperature for mycelium growth is between 23 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius, if the temperature is higher than 34 degrees Celsius, the growth will stop, the differentiation of fruiting body primordium needs to be between 12 degrees Celsius and 26 degrees Celsius, the most suitable temperature is 18 degrees Celsius to 24 degrees Celsius, if the temperature is too low or high, it will lead to the delay of primordium differentiation. In the case of lower temperature, the growth of fruiting body is slower, but the tissue is strong and the quality is better. When the temperature is higher, it is easier to open umbrella and grow Pleurotus ostreatus. The temperature range of Pleurotus ostreatus is relatively wide, and the growth period is also long. In subtropical areas, you only need to pay attention to the problem of heating in winter to plant year-round, and other climatic areas depend on the situation.

2. Humidity

The water content of the culture medium for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus should be controlled between 60% and 65%. There is a convenient way to judge-- grasp a handful of culture medium with your hand and squeeze it hard. If you feel moist between the fingers, there is a little water but will not flow down. After the hands are loosened, the culture medium is blocky, and when it falls to the ground, it is a standard medium. But different kinds of sawdust, different thickness of sawdust will have some differences, can not be partial generalization, to flexibly use this technique.

3. Air

Tea tree mushroom is a kind of aerobic fungus, which will lead to slow mycelium growth, small cap and early umbrella opening in the environment of poor ventilation and high carbon dioxide concentration, resulting in abnormal mushrooms.

4. Light

Pleurotus ostreatus is a light-dependent fungus, suitable growth environment needs appropriate diffuse light, especially the fruiting body has phototaxis and will tend to grow. It is not easy to differentiate the fruiting body under the condition of no light, but it can not be irradiated by strong light.
