Cultivation techniques of Pleurotus ostreatus

Xiuzhen mushroom is a very common fungus in our life, which is also called pocket mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus ostreatus. Xiuzhen mushroom is actually an immature form of Pleurotus ostreatus, which is smaller than Pleurotus ostreatus, tastes more crisp and tender, tastes more delicious, and has its own characteristics compared with Pleurotus ostreatus. Xiuzhen mushroom is known as "the best of mushrooms", which is rich in nutritional value, rich in high-quality fungal protein and a variety of amino acids and trace elements needed by the human body, and has good economic benefits. Here is a brief introduction to the cultivation techniques of Xiuzhen mushrooms.

1. Control temperature

Xiuzhen mushroom likes the warm and humid growth environment, the most suitable growth temperature is 25-27 degrees, and the most suitable humidity for mycelium growth and development is 10-35 degrees.

Xiuzhen mushroom is not cold-resistant, once the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, the mycelium will stop growing; when the temperature is below 20 degrees, the mycelium will keep growing but grow slowly; Xiuzhen mushrooms are not heat-resistant, once the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, the mycelium will grow slowly and begin to yellowing and aging; once the temperature is higher than 37 degrees, the hyphae will stop growing until aging and falling off.

Compared with other Pleurotus ostreatus species, Xiuzhen mushroom has a wider growth temperature range, as long as the ambient temperature is controlled between 10-30 degrees can produce mushrooms.

Second, control humidity

The water content of Xiuzhen mushroom is about 65%, so in the process of cultivating Xiuzhen mushroom, it is necessary to ensure that the air relative humidity of the cultivation environment is 85-90%. Once the relative humidity of the air is higher than 95%, the fruiting body of Xiuzhen mushroom is easy to become soft and rotten due to excessive humidity; once the relative humidity of the air is less than 70%, the fruiting body of Xiuzhen mushroom is easy to dry and wither because it is too dry.

Third, maintain ventilation

Xiuzhen mushrooms need to maintain special ventilation conditions in the mycelial cultivation stage. If the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is too high, once it is higher than 0. 0%, it will cause cell dysplasia and form abnormal Xiuzhen mushrooms with small cap and long stalk.

Fourth, control the lighting

Xiuzhen mushroom has different requirements for light in different cultivation stages, the mycelium stage does not need light, and the son needs light when it develops to the fruiting body stage. The light needed in the fruiting body stage is scattered light, too strong light will cause the bacteria to dry up, and too dark light will not be conducive to the normal development of Xiuzhen mushrooms, leading to the formation of abnormal mushrooms.

Fifth, control the PH value

Xiuzhen mushroom is suitable for living in a slightly alkaline environment, and it is best to control the PH value between 7.2 and 7.5. In production, the PH value of the culture material can be adjusted with 3-5% raw lime water. Alkaline growth environment can not only promote the growth of mycelium, but also reduce the possible mildew effect caused by high temperature in summer.

VI. Nutrition control

Xiuzhen mushroom does not contain chloroplasts and can not produce its own nutrients through photosynthesis. It needs to rely entirely on organic nutrients to survive. The cultivation material of Pleurotus ostreatus can provide nutrition for its growth and development, which contains nitrogen, carbon, auxin and other mineral ingredients.

The above is a brief introduction of the cultivation techniques of Xiuzhen mushroom. The artificial cultivation of Xiuzhen mushroom has the advantages of low cost, wide source of raw materials, simple cultivation and easy operation, and the bacteria are easy to cultivate and survive. You might as well try planting Xiuzhen mushrooms, which is a good planting project with low cost and good income.
