Cultivation technology of Hericium erinaceus

Hericium Erinaceus is a kind of rare edible fungus, which gets its name because its shape is the same as the head of monkey. at present, it is still popular in our market. Its price has been rising continuously, attracting many people to want to grow it. To grow it, you need to master the planting technology. Let's take a look at the details below.

1. Greenhouse construction

Choose a place with flat terrain, clean environment and close to the water source to build the greenhouse, the size of the greenhouse depends on the scale of cultivation. Because hericium Erinaceus is warm-loving fungus, the greenhouse should have good heat preservation measures. It is suggested that double-layer hollow walls should be used, ventilation measures should be done well, 50cm should be dug down on the ground, and no dripping film can be covered on the roof. Hericium Erinaceus can also be planted in the vegetable greenhouse with warm winter.

2. Raw material formula

The selection of cultivation raw materials is an important point in the cultivation of hericium Erinaceus. Here are two raw materials for your reference: cotton husk 90%, wheat bran 8%, gypsum 1%, calcium superphosphate 1%; ②: cotton seed shell 58%, sawdust 30%, wheat bran 10%, gypsum 1%, calcium superphosphate 1%. After mixing them, watering and stirring evenly, the water content should be about 65%, not too much or too little.

3. Bagging and sterilization

After the deployment of the culture medium, it is necessary to start bagging, choose polypropylene plastic bag as the culture bag, the specific specification is 15 × 32cm, each bag into the matrix 8 to 1 jin, loading is appropriate compression, after loading, tie it with string. The next step is high temperature sterilization, which includes atmospheric pressure sterilization and high pressure sterilization. Under atmospheric pressure, the cultivation bag is put into a sterilization pot and heated to 100 degrees for 10-12 hours, then cease fire and simmer for 5-6 hours. The high pressure is put into the autoclave and keep the pressure 1.2-1.5 kg per square centimeter for 2-3 hours.

4. Inoculation

At this time, the last step of planting hericium Erinaceus is to send the sterilized and cooled cultivation bag into the inoculation room, and spray disinfection with medicament before entering. The commonly used fungicide is carbendazim. During vaccination, the staff have to go through a series of disinfection work before entering the vaccination room to avoid vaccination failure. After disinfecting and sterilizing the appearance of the strain bottle at first, open the seed bottle, remove the old mycelium of the upper layer, open the cultivation bag, insert the mycelium into the bag with tools, and then seal it, the action must be consistent and quick, generally each bottle of bacteria can be inoculated in 30 bags.

The above is the planting technology of hericium Erinaceus. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about fungus planting, please follow us.
