Points for attention in the cultivation of hericium Erinaceus

Hericium Erinaceus gets its name because it looks like hericium Erinaceus. It has high nutritional value and excellent health care function. It is deeply loved by people and sells very well in the market. However, with fewer and fewer wild resources, many people begin to plant artificially, but there are a lot of problems that need to be paid attention to when planting. Let's take a look at the cultivation of hericium Erinaceus with Xiaobian.

1. Cultivation raw materials

Hericium Erinaceus is a wood saprophytic fungus, it has a strong ability to decompose wood, but also can make extensive use of nitrogen sources, carbon sources, mineral elements and vitamins. In artificial cultivation, the most suitable carbon source is sawdust, bagasse and cottonseed hull are also ideal carbon sources, and the most suitable nitrogen source is wheat bran and rice bran. In addition, it can also use urea, peptone, ammonium salt and nitrate as nitrogen sources. In addition, it also needs to absorb phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium during the growth of hericium Erinaceus.

2. Temperature

The temperature requirements of different growth stages of hericium Erinaceus are different. The optimum temperature for mycelium growth is 6-34 degrees, and the most suitable temperature is 25 degrees. If the temperature is lower than 6 degrees during the development of the mycelium, its metabolism will stop, and if it is too 30 degrees, the mycelium will grow slowly and easily age, higher than 35 degrees, it will stop growing or even die. On the other hand, the suitable temperature for the growth of fruiting body is 12-24 degrees, and the fastest growth is between 18 and 20 degrees.

3. Air

Hericium Erinaceus is a kind of aerobic fungus, which is extremely sensitive to carbon dioxide. When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air exceeds 0. 0%, it will constantly stimulate its stalk differentiation and easily form coral-shaped abnormal mushrooms. Therefore, in the cultivation, must be often ventilated, reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the mushroom shed, so as to avoid abnormal growth of hericium Erinaceus, affecting the income.

4. Lighting

Hericium Erinaceus does not need light in the early growth stage, that is, the mycelium growth stage, but can not do without light in the fruiting body formation and growth stage. If there is no light when the fruiting body is formed, its primordium can not be formed, and weak scattered light stimulation is needed to form the fruiting body. In addition, sufficient scattered light is also needed during the growth of the fruiting body, which can promote the growth of the fruiting body to be full and white, but once the light is too strong, it will lead to abnormal color of the mushroom body, affecting the yield and quality.

5. Humidity

In addition to the above points, we must also pay attention to the humidity. When cultivating, the water content of the culture material is 60%, 70%, but when the water content is less than 60 yuan or more than 80%, the number of primordium differentiation will be significantly reduced, which will lead to late ripening of the fruiting body and low yield. In mycelial culture, the air humidity is not noticed at 70%, but it is necessary to reach 85% Mur90% when the fruiting body is formed to ensure that the fruiting body grows fast and white. If the humidity of the fruiting body is less than 70%, its surface will dry and yellow due to water loss, resulting in a serious reduction in production; on the contrary, if it is higher than 95%, the spines will be long and thick, the mushroom ball center is small, branched, and deformed mushrooms will be formed.
