The large ball cap mushroom belongs to a new type of edible fungi, because it tastes good, nutritional value is relatively high, so, once it appeared, it is highly respected by the market, and many growers therefore embarked on the road to prosperity. Of course, there are still some farmers who want to plant because they do not know the planting technology and feel very confused. Below, we will introduce the cultivation technology of the large ball cap mushroom.

1. Nutrition

Because large bulbous cap mushrooms have a strong ability to decompose and utilize wood fibers, they can be cultivated using corn cobs, soybean stalks, hemp stalks, wheat straw, rice straw and even small wood blocks.

2. Humidity

Because of the large size of the mushroom, the moisture content of the culture material is required to be between 70% and 75%, and the humidity of the air is required to be 85% to 95% during the mushrooming period.

3. Temperature

The mycelium of Agaricus mycelium grows at a temperature of 5--35℃, but it grows best at 25-3℃.

4. Light

The mycelial growth of Agaricus blazei can be completely independent of light, but it needs some light during the development and growth of the fruiting body to promote mushroom production, and at the same time, it can make the fruiting body accumulate pigment, increase the color of the product, and improve the quality of the commodity.

5. Air

The Agaricus blazei is an aerobic fungus. The growth of mycelium is not sensitive to carbon dioxide in the air, but during the mushrooming period, we must make the air in the mushroom farm unobstructed.

6. pH

Mycelium of Agaricus blazei can grow at pH 4.5-9, but 5-7 is the most suitable.

7. Mulching

The mushroom has the characteristic that the mycelium grows all over the culture material, and no mushrooms will be produced without mulching or the mushrooms will be produced late and sparsely, and it is better to use the humus in the forest, and the pH value is about 6.

Second, cultivation

1.raw material selection and processing

Select the year's fresh, mold-free rice, wheat grass. Late rice straw has a long growth period, more nutrient accumulation and better than early rice straw. Bean straw and corn stalks, corn cobs should be crushed before use, conducive to mycelial reproduction.

Rice straw and wheat grass should be put into the pool soaking, or to the pile of water 4 times a day, for 6 days or so, so that its water content of 70% -75%, that is, tightly twisted straw with water droplets and not strings to the degree. If the outside temperature is higher than 23 ℃, soaked straw need to be piled up 2 - 3 days, let it warm up heat (fermentation), in order to prevent the seeding of the material produced after heating burn mycelium.

2. Site selection and seeding

It is better to cultivate large bulbous cap mushrooms in indoor, outdoor, garden, orchard, woods and other shaded and wet sites. It should be close to the water source with good drainage. The site is made into a 1 - 1.5 meters wide bed, the length is not limited, there should be a drainage ditch around, indoor can be used bed frame cultivation. Build 5 layers of bed frame, layer spacing 45 - 60 meters, 1 meter wide. Cultivation before the site should be sterilized around the insecticide.

Outdoor cultivation can be pre-wetted straw directly on the bed, the first layer of material thickness of 8 - 10 cm, sprinkle a layer of strains; and then paved material thickness of 10 - 15 cm, sprinkle a layer of strains, and finally in the top cover 5 cm thick material. Grass should be solid, the total thickness of about 20 - 25 cm, indoor cultivation should be first in the bed of 4 - 5 cm thick humus and then lay material on it. Sowing method is the same as outdoor bed planting.

Seeding volume: wood chips, cotton husk seed 3 - 4 bottles / square meter; grain seed halved, two layers of seeding volume of 50% each. After sowing, the bed is covered with wet sacks or grass curtains.
