Key points of cultivation of Lentinus edodes in winter

Lentinus edodes has crisp and tender meat, delicious taste, rich nutrition and high efficiency. Among mushroom farmers, it is said that they planted Lentinus edodes on an acre of idle land and became a household of ten thousand yuan at that time. The main points of its winter management are briefly introduced as follows:

The climate of late autumn and early winter is characterized by low temperature, large temperature difference between day and night, easy to control humidity, slow mycelium growth, less mushroom growth and slow mushroom growth. Under such conditions, grasping the heat preservation of the mushroom bed and preventing the cold wind from invading are the key factors among many growth factors, so we should pay attention to the weather change, reasonably adjust the cover and its cover time, and arrange the ventilation to be carried out at the warm noon.

Summing up the practical experience, the problems needing attention in production are to prevent the attack of frost and cold wind, to control the temperature, and not to spray more water, which can prevent the death of small mushroom buds. Snowy days and melting snow days are conducive to the formation and occurrence of fruiting bodies, and the mulch can be removed to naturally adjust the difference between temperature and humidity, so as to stimulate the production of more high-quality mushrooms in winter, especially when the water content of the bacteria is low and the climatic conditions are dry and cold. It can promote the occurrence of flower mushrooms, when the mushroom buds grow to 2-3 cm, it can also lift the film at night, draw cold air to invade the bacterial bed, and artificially create dry cold air conditions. It causes the growth of the cover surface to be blocked. On the other hand, the flesh cells also divide and grow and accumulate nutrients in the mushroom body, so the contradiction between the hindered growth of the internal cells leads to the non-synchronization of internal and external growth. The skin bursting bacteria meat is exposed, so the cover appears naked strips of meat, and the white meat divides the brown cap into chrysanthemum-shaped or tortoise shell-shaped spots, which is commonly known as flower mushroom, the commercial value of flower mushroom is particularly high, generally 5-10 times higher than ordinary shiitake mushrooms.
