What special requirements does Pleurotus geesteranus have for the environmental temperature during the fruiting stage?
Pleurotus geesteranus is a mesophilic fruiting fungus with variable temperature. The temperature range of fruiting body formation is10 ~ 32℃, the suitable growth temperature of fruiting body is15 ~ 25℃, and the optimum growth temperature is15 ~ 20℃. When the temperature is lower than 10℃, the original group cannot be formed; When the temperature is higher than 25℃, the fruiting body grows fast, the cap is thin and matures early. The formation of Pleurotus ostreatus primordium needs a large temperature difference stimulus, and the specific temperature change range needs to be different according to different strains, generally requiring a temperature difference stimulus above 8℃. However, after the fruiting body occurs, it is still necessary to maintain a relatively constant temperature to ensure the yield and quality of the fruiting body.
