Requirements for growing environment of mushrooms

Many people can not clearly identify many edible mushrooms, so they are called mushrooms. In fact, mushrooms specifically refer to a kind of mushrooms in production, that is, double spore mushrooms, also known as white mushrooms. Mushrooms are widely cultivated in the world, and they are the main source of economy for farmers in many areas. The cultivation of mushrooms will have their own requirements for the environment, the cultivation of mushrooms need to create what kind of environmental conditions, now let's take a look at the following introduction.

1. Temperature

Different mushroom growth stages will require different temperatures. Generally, the most suitable temperature for mycelium growth in the early stage is about 18 to 20 degrees, while in the later stage of fruiting body growth, it will need to be adjusted to 12 to 16 degrees. The general growth mycelium likes a warm environment and the fruiting body likes a cool environment. If the temperature is too high, the hyphae will grow old, and the fruiting body will easily open the umbrella. Generally, the mycelium will no longer grow below 4 degrees.

2. Nutrition

Mushroom growth needs a lot of nutrition, but fungi do not have green leaf photosynthesis to produce nutrition like some plants, so they can only rely on fertilization to transform into mushroom nutrition. Generally, mushroom cultivation needs to be equipped with culture medium. Generally, it is composed of livestock manure, cottonseed hull and sawdust, and the pH of the medium is between 6.8 and 7.5. In the future, we can also apply appropriate amount of fertilizer and apply some mature organic fertilizer.

3. Moisture

Mushroom growth needs water as much as outside plants, and a lot of water is needed in the fruiting body growth stage, because most of the fruiting body is composed of water. If there is not enough water, it will affect the growth of fruiting body. Generally speaking, the moisture content of the culture medium is about 60%, and the air humidity is about 70%. The environment is dry, the mushrooms lose water, the humidity of the environment is too high, and the air is not ventilated.

4. Lighting

Edible fungi do not carry out photosynthesis, but some edible fungi need to receive some light, which is good for growth, but mushrooms do not need light and can also grow in a dark environment. The growth should be shaded and cultivated. Do not be affected by strong light, which is bad for growth.

5. Air

Mushroom growth should pay attention to the air, generally planted in thatched huts, is also a closed environment, if you do not open the door for ventilation, indoor air is very difficult to circulate, so it is generally necessary to regular ventilation. It needs enough oxygen to grow, generally absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Be sure to release carbon dioxide regularly and change oxygen into it.

The growth and development of mushroom requires dark environment, no light, suitable water, warm mycelium growth and cool fruiting body growth. Because of the need for oxygen, it is necessary to ventilate regularly. The culture material must be rich in nutrients.
