Causes and control measures of deformity of Lentinus edodes

Lentinus edodes often appear abnormal phenomena in the mushroom emergence stage and fruiting body growth stage. the market price of these abnormal mushrooms is lower, which affects the economic income of growers. So what is the reason for the abnormal growth of Lentinus edodes? How to prevent and cure it? Let's take a look at the causes and prevention methods of the growth malformation of Lentinus edodes.

Causes of growth malformation

1. Improper seed selection: in addition to inferior strains or being infected by viruses, improper selection of strains will lead to abnormal growth of Lentinus edodes. For example, in areas with high altitude and low temperature, if you choose to cultivate high-temperature strains, the low temperature will cause the mushroom buds to shrink, resulting in malformations.

2. Improper development management: if the mushroom buds appear early in the cultivation bag, the mushroom buds can not be extended by the squeeze of the bag wall, so it is easy to appear abnormal phenomenon in the first generation of Lentinus edodes.

3. Water immersion is not suitable: after 2-3 times of Lentinus edodes, the moisture content of the mushroom tube begins to decrease, so it is necessary to introduce water immersion and rehydration, but this method is only suitable for early-maturing varieties, and if carried out on late-maturing varieties, it will lead to deformities.

4. Improper humidity control and heat preservation: when the temperature is low in winter, measures should be taken to keep warm. If the mushroom bud is affected by cold wind and low temperature during the mushroom production period, the mushroom bud will shrink and dry and grow malformed. In addition, during the mushroom production period, when the air humidity is less than 70%, the mushroom stalk will also appear soft or hollow.

Prevention and cure measures

1. Understand bacteria: before planting and cultivation, understand the relevant cultivation knowledge, especially the characteristics of bacteria, according to the local environment and climate, select suitable varieties according to local conditions, and then calculate the good season and time, and inoculate reasonably.

2. Prevent blind unbagging: the management should be strengthened in the mushroom bud stage, especially when the mycelium does not reach physiological maturity, it is very easy to produce mutated deformed mushrooms, grasp the mature time of the hyphae, and take off the bag in time.

3. Soak in water in a timely and appropriate amount: it is also necessary to know whether the strain is an early-maturing or late-maturing variety, soak in a timely and appropriate amount to prevent the water humidity from being too low prematurely, and it is difficult to produce mushrooms when the water content of the bacterial tube is less than 40%. And there are a lot of mushrooms. Generally, when the water content is 60-70%, the water content should reach 95%. If it is immersed in water for too long, it will lead to excessive water absorption, which will not be easy for mycelium growth and respiration, and affect the emergence of mushrooms.

4. Do a good job in heat preservation and humidity control: in winter, we should strengthen warm measures, keep the temperature difference between day and night above 10 degrees, pay attention to air humidity and humidify according to climate change.

5. Timely harvest: Lentinus edodes must be harvested in time after it is ripe. If it is not harvested in time, Lentinus edodes will be overcooked and consume a lot of nutrients, which is not conducive to the second time.
