The reason why Pleurotus ostreatus can't produce mushroom and its solution

Pleurotus ostreatus is a common variety of edible fungi, it is suitable for a variety of temperatures, can be planted all the year round, but also the most easy to produce mushrooms among edible fungi, different from other strains, it is very easy to produce mushrooms in the environment of high temperature and humidity. However, if there are a large number of mushrooms that do not produce mushrooms during planting, there must be mistakes in some methods. Let's take a look at the reasons why Pleurotus ostreatus can not produce mushrooms and the solutions.

1. Improper selection of varieties

The selection of unqualified bacteria during cultivation will lead to no mushroom. Different varieties of Pleurotus ostreatus have different suitable growth temperature. According to its suitable growth temperature, it can be divided into three types: low temperature, medium temperature and high temperature. If the choice is a high-temperature variety, but planted in a low-temperature environment, so there will not be mushrooms.

Solution: when selecting bacteria, we must choose the suitable varieties according to the local climate temperature, and it is best to carry out the temperature test of mushroom production, and then put into production in a large area to reduce the cultivation risk.

2. The alkalinity of culture medium is too high.

In the deployment of the culture mechanism, some lime powder will be added. If the lime powder is added too much, the alkalinity of the culture medium will be too high, which will affect the normal growth of the mycelium, so it will not produce mushrooms.

Solution: in view of this situation, do not worry, the mycelium in the growth after metabolism will produce certain acidic substances, will continue to neutralize the pH, to a certain extent, will produce mushrooms, but will have a certain impact on the yield.

3. Drug overdose

In the mycelium growth, there will be other miscellaneous bacteria, the general vitality of miscellaneous bacteria is not as strong as the mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus, the hyphae of Pleurotus ostreatus can cover it behind, but if the cultivation environment or cultivation is improper, these miscellaneous bacteria grow more than the hyphae of Pleurotus ostreatus. At this time, it is necessary to use fungicides to inhibit the growth of miscellaneous bacteria, or when removing insects, too much of these drugs will kill the mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus, resulting in no emergence of mushrooms.

Solution: when using drugs, we must pay attention to the concentration and dosage to prevent damage to the mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus.

4. Improper cultivation environment.

There are certain requirements for temperature, humidity and light during cultivation. Pleurotus ostreatus can not produce mushrooms in the extreme environment of high temperature, low temperature or too low humidity, and the mycelium growth of Pleurotus ostreatus does not need light, but it is necessary to scatter light during primordium differentiation, otherwise it is disadvantageous to mushroom production, and serious cases will not produce mushrooms.

Solution: the cultivation environment must meet the conditions of Pleurotus ostreatus, when high temperature, strengthen ventilation or spray water mist to cool down, use greenhouse to raise temperature at low temperature, spray water mist to humidify with less humidity, lack of light, and replenish light manually.

The above are the reasons why Pleurotus ostreatus can not produce mushrooms and the solutions. I hope I can help you. If you want to know more about the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus, please follow us.
