It is important to change the color of Lentinus edodes sticks

Last Updated: 2024/11/22, When the mycelium of Lentinus edodes fills the bag and reaches a certain physiological maturity, the ventilation, light, temperature and humidity of the growth environment are artificially regulated, so that all the aerial hyphae on the material surface lodge and secrete pigments. the color of the material surface gradually changed from thick white and light white to light brown to brown and brown, and finally formed a brown membrane with multiple functions such as heat preservation, moisturizing, light protection, anti-miscellaneous bacteria and so on. This process is called color conversion. The color depth and film thickness of Lentinus edodes stick are closely related to the time, yield and quality of mushroom. General condition

When the mycelium of Lentinus edodes fills the bag and reaches a certain physiological maturity, the ventilation, light, temperature and humidity of the growth environment are artificially regulated, so that all the aerial hyphae on the material surface lodge and secrete pigments. the color of the material surface gradually changed from thick white and light white to light brown to brown and brown, and finally formed a brown membrane with multiple functions such as heat preservation, moisturizing, light protection, anti-miscellaneous bacteria and so on. This process is called color conversion. The color depth and film thickness of Lentinus edodes stick are closely related to the time, yield and quality of mushroom. Under general conditions, there are three basic situations in the relationship between color conversion (quality) and mushroom production (level):

The first is a normal color change, which meets the requirements. The results showed that the bacterial film was moderate in thickness, brown, the bark was shiny and elastic, the mushroom appeared on time, the mushroom bud was uniform, and the tide was obvious; the mushroom body developed normally, the yield was high and the quality was excellent.

The second manifestation is that the color change is too heavy. It is dark brown to dark brown, the bacterial film is thick and hard, the time of mushroom emergence is obviously later than its biological characteristics, its fruiting body is larger, the cover is thick, and the quality is high, but its yield is only 50% of the normal color conversion, or even lower, and it is even difficult to produce mushrooms in serious cases.

The third is that the color change is obviously tender. It shows that the bacterial membrane is thin, the color is light brown or yellowish brown, or a large white "flower spot" is formed. In this case, the mushroom emerges ahead of time, the mushroom buds are concentrated and dense, the mushroom body is small and deformed, and the total yield is higher than normal or even higher, but the quality is inferior. The cover is easy to open the umbrella, the color is light, the market value is very low, and the stick itself is easy to aging.
