Cultivation of Edible Fungi with Peat in Japan

Published: 2024-11-05 Author: mysheen
Last Updated: 2024/11/05, Japan has successfully studied a method of cultivating edible fungi in a mixed medium with 20% to 30% peat and oily grains (all based on dry matter). Before cultivation, cut off and cut up the long fibers in the peat, and add the mixture of barley husk, rice bran and sawdust which can effectively increase ventilation, then bottled, sterilized and inoculated. When the formula is suitable, the recovery rate of each bottle of Pleurotus ostreatus is 55%, which is 30% higher than that of Pleurotus ostreatus cultivated with sawdust and rice sugar medium alone. The growth period can range from 50 days to 56 days.

Japan successfully studied a method of cultivating edible fungi in a mixed medium with 20% to 30% peat and oil-containing grains (all calculated by dry matter).

Before cultivation, the long fibers in peat are cut and chopped, and a mixture of barley husks, rice bran, and sawdust is added to effectively increase aeration, and then bottled, sterilized, and inoculated. The recovery rate of Pleurotus ostreatus per bottle reached 55% when the formula was proper, which was 30% higher than that of Pleurotus ostreatus cultivated on sawdust and rice sugar medium alone. The growth period can be shortened from 50 to 56 days to 40 days. The culture medium is also suitable for cultivating edible fungi such as Flammulina velutipes.
