Last Updated: 2024/11/25, Humidity control is the key to success in growing Pleurotus ostreatus indoors, especially after mushroom production. At this stage, if the humidity is too low, it will make the mushroom body dry and shrink, or even die; if the humidity is too high, it is easy to rot mushrooms. Practice has proved that it is difficult to control humidity by spraying water, and sometimes the development of bacterial buds is affected due to excessive spraying of water on the material surface, resulting in the death of young mushrooms and the reduction or extinction of production. This paper introduces a wonderful method which can not only control the humidity but also increase the yield of Pleurotus ostreatus without spraying water. Get some cotton cloth and canned bottles and cut the cotton cloth into 8cm × 40

Humidity control is the key to success in growing Pleurotus ostreatus indoors, especially after mushroom production. At this stage, if the humidity is too low, it will make the mushroom body dry and shrink, or even die; if the humidity is too high, it is easy to rot mushrooms. Practice has proved that it is difficult to control humidity by spraying water, and sometimes the development of bacterial buds is affected due to excessive spraying of water on the material surface, resulting in the death of young mushrooms and the reduction or extinction of production.

This paper introduces a wonderful method which can not only control the humidity but also increase the yield of Pleurotus ostreatus without spraying water. Get some cotton cloth and canned bottles, cut the cotton cloth into 8cm × 40cm strips of cloth, fill the bottle with clean water, then soak the strips of cloth in water 15cm long, the remaining 25cm spread out and hang on the edge of the bottle, placed above the mushroom bed, or suspended in the air, at the same time put a container with cloth strips dripping under the bottle. The cotton cloth strip can absorb the water from the bottle, and the water on the cloth strip can evaporate in the air, thus raising the temperature in the air and controlling the humidity in the room at about 85%. The method is measured by the amount of water in the bottle. This not only saves a lot of trouble, but also improves the yield and quality of Pleurotus ostreatus.
