Scientific processing method of Lentinus edodes

First, the sun drying method: the sun is the most convenient and easy to do, the method is: the Lentinus edodes harvested in time spread on the sunny grain drying field or cement floor. When drying, first put the mushroom cover up, the mushroom handle down, one by one, after the sun until half dry, the mushroom stalk up, the mushroom cover down, until more than 90% dry. In case of rainy days, use firepower to dry.

Second, baking and drying method: Lentinus edodes should be packed in a small basket after harvest, not too much, so as to avoid extrusion, and should be baked on the same day. The general practice is to put the harvested shiitake mushrooms on a roasting screen and send them into the baking room. The temperature should not exceed 40 ℃ at the beginning, and then rise by 5 ℃ every 3 ℃ every 4 hours, up to a maximum of 65 ℃. The drying room should have exhaust facilities and exhaust while roasting, otherwise the folds of Lentinus edodes will turn black and affect the quality. After 80% dry, take out and let dry for a few hours, then bake again for 4 hours until the water content is less than 13%. In this way, the baked Lentinus edodes will be dry, good color and strong flavor. Dried Lentinus edodes should be graded in time, sealed and packed quickly after classification, and stored in a dry and cool place.
