The latest formation conditions of Pleurotus ostreatus

Pleurotus ostreatus is the star of fungi, is a modern development of edible mushroom rookie, with rich nutrition, disease prevention, fitness, anti-aging and other functions deeply loved by consumers. It is actually a kind of deformed mushroom of Lentinus edodes. Lentinus edodes can change the normal growth of Lentinus edodes and form flower mushrooms by adjusting the natural conditions such as temperature, humidity, light and ventilation, so what are the conditions for the formation of flower mushrooms? Let's take a look.

1. Low humidity

The formation of Pleurotus ostreatus is mainly caused by humidity. In the growth and development of young mushrooms, the rods are short of water and the air is dry, which causes the cells of the mushroom lid to stop growing, while the mycelium cells are still growing slowly. so over a long period of time, there will be a strong surface swelling and exposure of white flesh, with the passage of time, cracks deepen, so the formation of flower mushrooms. Therefore, if you want to form flower mushrooms, when the buds grow to 2-3 cm thick, it is necessary to strengthen humidity management and control the humidity within 70%, there is a high probability of forming flower mushrooms.

2. Low temperature

Low temperature is also an important factor in the formation of flower mushroom geese. At the temperature of 5-15 degrees, the growth of Lentinus edodes is very slow, resulting in thick mushroom meat, which lays the foundation for the formation of flower mushroom. If the temperature is too high, Lentinus edodes grows faster, but the mushroom meat is thinner, even if there are other conditions for the formation of flower mushrooms, it will not form flower mushrooms, but also very easy to dry and wet. The nutritional value of Pleurotus ostreatus is higher than that of Lentinus edodes, because there are many nutrients deposited in the low temperature environment, it usually takes about a month for the mushroom bud to grow to mature at low temperature.

3. Temperature difference

The formation of Pleurotus ostreatus is inseparable from the temperature difference, the highest growth temperature is controlled at 18-22 degrees, the lowest 5 degrees, in this range of artificial regulation, as far as possible to enlarge its temperature difference, to promote the production of a large number of mushroom buds. In a low-temperature and low-humidity environment, coupled with the stimulation of temperature difference, the cap cells will dry up, while the mushroom meat cells will begin to reproduce, eventually causing the cap to crack and form a pattern.

4. Lighting

Light also has a certain effect on the formation of Pleurotus ostreatus. Pleurotus ostreatus generally needs to grow in an environment with sufficient light, and the intensity of light affects the color of the pattern. In the environment of sufficient light, the pattern of mushroom is snow-white and of better quality, while when growing in the environment of insufficient light, its pattern color is milky white, yellow-white or tea-brown, and the quality is average.
