Portable edible mushroom mixer is worth popularizing and using.

By the middle of June 2009, Kaihua County, Zhejiang Province had popularized a total of 362 portable edible mushroom mixers in the past 4 years. 2800 mushroom farmers used the mixer and mixed 84 million bags, which greatly alleviated the labor shortage in edible mushroom production in the county and its surrounding cities (districts), and saved 3.1553 million yuan in employment costs for mushroom farmers.

Mixing material is the first working procedure in the production of bag edible fungus, which can neither delay the bagging time nor mix too early, otherwise it is easy to cause the culture material to be rancidity due to the too long bagging time. Popularizing the use of portable edible mushroom mixer has solved the practical problems affecting the output of edible fungi, such as labor shortage, high labor intensity and poor mixing quality in Kaihua county. The scientific and technological personnel of the agricultural science and technology institute of the county have made a comparison and produced 4500 bags of Flammulina velutipes at the same time. Manual mixing takes 4 labor to mix 8 times and 28 hours to complete, while the mixer only takes 2 labor to complete in 6 hours. For the production of 30, 000 bags of culture materials, manual mixing costs 1470 yuan, while the cost of using the mixer is only 49 yuan, which can save 1127 yuan in employment costs.
