Planting conditions of hericium Erinaceus

Hericium Erinaceus is also called hericium Erinaceus, because of its yellow fluffy spines, it used to be a precious dish, known as Shanzhen hericium Erinaceus. Hericium Erinaceus is a fresh, tender and delicious edible fungus, which can strengthen the spleen and calm the mind to a certain extent. Hericium Erinaceus has been cultivated artificially for a long time, we also have a certain understanding of its original environment, and the conditions that should be provided by artificial cultivation are also very clear. So let's learn about it next.

1. Primary environment

The natural growth environment is mainly in temperate broad-leaved forests, or coniferous forests, and mixed forests. The main representative environment of our country is the Daxing'an Mountains and Xiaoxing'an Mountains in the northeast, Tianshan Mountain and Altai Mountain in the northwest, and the forest region in the southwest. There are also Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Guangxi and Fujian. These places have natural growth, and the environment will be different, but they must grow in places where they have something in common.

2. Temperature

The mycelium is most suitable to grow at about 25 degrees, but it can still grow above 6 degrees and 34 degrees. Below 6 degrees or higher than 34 degrees will cause growth to stop, but more than 30 degrees will affect mycelium growth, slow growth, aging. Generally speaking, it is easy to form mushrooms at 20 degrees, and the fruiting bodies formed at 16 to 20 degrees are the best. The color of the fruit body below 14 degrees is ugly and the use value is low.

3. Moisture

General sawdust needs to maintain 55% water content, cottonseed shell is 60% water content, bagasse water content is about 65%. But the general water content should not exceed 65%. It's usually between 60% and 65%. Of course, there are also special, for example, the water content of sugarcane can also be higher. Too high water content, no oxygen, the growth will slow down, easy to aging; low water content, affect the growth, can not meet the water content. So balance the moisture.

4. Air

For edible fungus cultivation is not like growing vegetables in the open field, the general environment will be relatively closed, need a good air environment, absorb more oxygen, will discharge carbon dioxide, for a period of time must release carbon dioxide, absorb oxygen. Need regular ventilation to keep the amount of carbon dioxide in the air below 0.1%.

5. Lighting

Do not need light, dark growth, weak light can also grow well, when the light increases, the growth will slow down. However, scattered light is needed to form a fruiting body, and some scattered light is also needed when the fruiting body is enlarged. Excessive light will slow down the growth and reduce the yield. So although darkness can grow, some scattered light is good according to the stage.

It is inevitable that the artificial cultivation environment of hericium Erinaceus is not as good as the natural environment, but the artificial cultivation of hericium Erinaceus should provide conditions that do not affect the growth as far as possible. Can ensure good growth, as well as yield.
