Key points of management of mushroom emergence period of hericium Erinaceus

Hericium Erinaceus is rich in nutrition, rich in 16 kinds of amino acids and a variety of vitamins and minerals needed by the human body. It tastes delicious and is deeply loved by consumers. In the cultivation of hericium Erinaceus, the mushroom emergence period is a very important stage, which is related to the yield and quality, and is directly related to the income of growers. So how to manage hericium Erinaceus during the mushroom emergence period? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction.

1. Preparation for mushroom production

In the case of tight shading and darkness in the mushroom shed, when the hyphae have gone deep into the bacteria bag 1/3 after 20 days of inoculation, we should be ready to produce bacteria. As the bacterial bag is a plastic film, in order to produce mushrooms normally, we should first draw a small opening of about 3 centimeters on the top, middle and bottom of the bag, so that the young buds will grow out of this opening.

2. Temperature and humidity

During mushroom production, the temperature of the mushroom shed is maintained between 12 and 20 degrees, and the most suitable temperature is 18 degrees. Generally, the temperature of the mushroom shed is higher than 26 degrees and less than 10 degrees. The growth rate of the fruiting body will be very slow, affecting the yield and quality. And air humidity is also extremely important, which needs to be kept between 85% and 90% when mushrooms are produced to meet the moisture and humidity needs of fruiting bodies. If the humidity is satisfied, the fruiting body grows rapidly, the color is white, and the yield is high. if the humidity is too high or too low, the fruiting body grows slowly or stops growing, and it is easy to grow malformed. Spray water or spray in time when the humidity is low, to increase the humidity of the mushroom shed, but it is not suitable to spray water on rainy or cloudy days.

3. Timely ventilation and cooling

Hericium Erinaceus is a kind of aerobic fungus, which needs plenty of fresh oxygen when it grows. In the case of sufficient oxygen, the fruiting body is large, tight and white, and the yield is high. On the other hand, it is more sensitive to the concentration of carbon dioxide. Generally, if the concentration of carbon dioxide in the mushroom shed exceeds 0.1%, it will grow badly. There are even deformities, so in cultivation, must be often ventilated. Open the vents regularly every day, in addition, timely ventilation can also cool down in the high temperature period, but in the low temperature, it is necessary to reduce ventilation, increase temperature and maintain humidity. Generally high temperature is generally ventilated in the morning and evening, half an hour at a time, while at low temperature it is necessary to be ventilated at noon.

4. Control lighting

When the mycelium grows to 1/3 or 2/3, it is necessary to give it appropriate scattered light to promote the formation of fruiting body, but the light should not be too strong, and it is appropriate to be 200-300 lux, so that the fruiting body can mature in half a month. Although the fruiting bodies of hericium Erinaceus are formed in a dark and lightless environment, they often form deformed mushrooms, and strong light can also cause deformed mushrooms.
