How to harvest hericium Erinaceus?

How to harvest hericium Erinaceus? Please guide hericium Erinaceus generally takes 20 days from primordium formation to harvest, the timely harvest has the highest yield and the best quality. The sign of the maturity of the fruiting body of hericium Erinaceus is: the mushroom body is basically long, solid, white, with spines on the surface, the length of the spines is 0.5 cm, the spores are not ejected, and the spores are harvested at the right time. The time of harvest should also be based on the destination of the product or the requirements of the merchant, and the young mushroom can also be harvested when it is half-ripe. At this time, the fruiting body, regardless of appearance or freshness, protein content or taste, is at the best time. It is most suitable for fresh sales or export in supermarkets. Although it has a certain impact on the output, its commodity value is high, and the production efficiency will not be affected by the reduction of output. On the contrary, there will be a certain increase. The harvest is too late, the spines are too long, the spores are distributed in large numbers, the fruiting body becomes loose, yellowing, bitter, the quality and use value decreases, and because the mature fruiting body absorbs more nutrition and water from the base material, it is difficult to turn the tide, and the total yield will be affected, and the benefit is not good because of the low commodity value. After gently rotating during harvest, the surface of the base material is cleaned to remove sundries such as fungus skins, cover or shrink the ligation as far as possible, or cover the shelf layer with a large plastic film, stop spraying water, seal the light, and provide large ventilation for 2 days. when the greenhouse humidity is reduced to about 70%, close the mushroom shed, so that the bacterial bag into a more appropriate "culture" stage, about a week later, bud again, you can enter the management of low-tide mushrooms. Generally, 3 tide mushrooms can be harvested in each batch, the biological efficiency is 80%-120%, and the commodity rate can reach about 90%.
