Growth environment of Pleurotus ostreatus

Pearl mushrooms, also known as slippery mushrooms, are produced in Japan and are now grown in many parts of the world. China was introduced in the 1970s because there is a layer of slime on the outside, so it is called slippery mushrooms. It is a world famous artificial cultivated edible fungus. So what kind of environment does this edible fungus grow in and where it is suitable for cultivation? What is the requirement of changing engine oil in artificial cultivation. Please continue to read below to learn more.

1. Nutritional conditions

Artificially rely on culture materials to provide vegetative growth, so we need to choose culture materials, generally choose hard broad-leaved wood chips to make culture materials, coniferous wood chips are not suitable for cultivation. Wheat bran also needs to be added to provide a source of vitamins and nitrogen. You can also add some artificial nutrition preparations.

2. Temperature

Hyphae generally grow above 4 degrees and below 32 degrees, but the most suitable ones are between 22 and 28 degrees. Not resistant to high temperature, so more than 30 degrees, the growth is very slow, more than 32 degrees may stop growing. It is more resistant to low temperature than other fungi, and it can still produce mushrooms and form fruiting bodies below 15 degrees. Therefore, generally speaking, mushrooms can be grown at a temperature between 6 channels and 0 degrees.

3. Air and moisture

Slippery mushrooms are good oxygen edible fungi, which need regular ventilation, release carbon dioxide in the shed and introduce fresh air. Can't accumulate carbon dioxide. Regular ventilation is needed throughout the growth stage. Water general culture material water mycelium growth is about 60% to 65%, the air humidity is naturally good; after the fruiting body, the moisture increases to about 70%, and the air humidity is more than 80%. Because the mycelium does not need so much water, it is easy to lack oxygen, and the water needs more and more after mushroom is produced.

4. Light, pH

Hyphae can also grow without light, for the formation of fruiting body period, need some light, easy to grow fruiting body. Need common scattered light, can not be completely dark opaque, light can be adjusted. The medium is suitable for growth in slightly acidic medium, but it should not be too acidic. It's best around 6.0.

Pleurotus ostreatus is an aerobic edible fungus, cultivation needs to adjust the temperature and humidity at every stage, but also need to maintain good air and moisture. And adjust the light. To achieve suitable environmental conditions.
