Artificial Creation of Cultivation Conditions for Rational Utilization of Flower Mushroom

Flower mushroom

Flower mushroom is not the inherent characteristic of a certain kind of Lentinus edodes strains, it is a high-quality abnormal mushroom produced by the fruiting body in the process of growth and adverse environmental conditions, and any strain of Lentinus edodes can form flower mushrooms. The conditions for the formation of flower mushrooms are dry, strong light, ventilation and large temperature difference. As long as we artificially create the conditions for the production of flower mushrooms, or make reasonable use of natural conditions, we will be able to produce high quality flower mushrooms.

1. Humidity

Humidity is the main factor affecting the formation of mushroom. The highest relative air temperature of the mushroom in the mushroom farm is less than 75%, and the best relative humidity is 55% 65%. The humidity is too high to form or not easy to form flower mushroom. If the humidity is too low, mushrooms are easy to dry to death. When the diameter of the cap is less than 1.5 cm, the suitable humidity is 70% Mel 75%. With the growth of the cap, the relative humidity decreased gradually. The fungus cap begins to crack at about 2cm. Under normal growth conditions, such as the relative humidity of the air is about 55% Mel. 65%, the increase of the crack is proportional to the increase of the cap, that is, the faster the cap grows, the faster the crack increases. At this time, if the air temperature is about 815 ℃, the best mushroom can be obtained. The dry and wet ground of the mushroom production place will directly affect the appearance of the cap texture and the depth of cracking. Therefore, the mushroom production place should be kept dry and ventilated, the ground must not be wet, the ground is wet, do not form flower mushrooms. In addition, when the water content of the medium is 60%-65%, it is easy to form Pleurotus ostreatus. In the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus, only when the mushroom wood itself is in a state of lack of water, but can maintain the lowest water content, can it grow into flower mushroom.

two。 Temperature

Temperature and temperature difference play an important role in the formation and quality of Flower Mushroom. General low temperature (8 ℃ 15 min) is easy to form high quality flower mushroom, low temperature can make mushroom body grow slowly, tissue dense, mushroom meat thick. A large temperature difference (8 ℃ 10 min) is beneficial to the formation of Lentinus edodes primordium, and to accelerate the cracking of cap and deepen the crack, and accelerate the formation of high quality mushroom under certain conditions of low temperature and low humidity.

3. Light

Cultivate flower mushrooms, to give sufficient direct light, shade is too dark, it is not easy to form flower mushrooms. Lack of light, mushroom color is not good, whiteness is not enough. In different stages of the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus, the requirements for light intensity are also different. young buds (less than 2 cm in cap) can not stand strong light, otherwise they will crack and die. In the growing period of Pleurotus ostreatus, it is necessary to have strong direct light (the light intensity should reach 1500Mel 2000 lux). In winter and early spring, the sun radiation intensity is weak, and the mushroom farm can let the sun shine directly, which can effectively improve the quality of flower mushroom.

4. Ventilation

During the formation of Pleurotus ostreatus, the slight flow of wind speed can promote the formation of Pleurotus ostreatus, the breeze can reduce the humidity in the mushroom farm, the wind speed is too high, and the moisture on the surface of the mushroom body evaporates too fast, which is easy to dry up and shrink the immature young mushrooms. Therefore, the mushroom farm should be both ventilated and windproof. The mushroom farm should be selected in a place with good ventilation, and there should be a certain distance between the mushroom shed and the mushroom shed, and the ventilation should not be affected by each other.

In the cultivation and management, corresponding measures should be taken according to local conditions, and scientific management should be carried out according to the cultivation conditions of flower mushrooms, so as to cultivate high-quality flower mushrooms and improve the economic benefits of Lentinus edodes production.
