The tea tree mushroom is a medium temperature edible fungus. In the PDA medium, under the condition of 26℃, the spores will germinate after 24 hours, and the fine mycelium can be seen with the naked eye after 48 hours. The optimal temperature for mycelium growth is 23～28℃, and it stops growing above 34℃, and it can be stored for 3 months at -4℃. The temperature range of the protoplast differentiation of the substrate is 12～26℃, the optimum temperature is 18～24℃, lower or higher temperature will delay the protoplast differentiation. At lower temperatures, the growth of the substrate is slow, but the tissue is firm, the mushroom shape is larger and the quality is good; at higher temperatures, it is easy to open the umbrella and form long-stalked thin-capped mushrooms.
Moisture
Tea tree mushroom cultivation medium moisture content should be mastered at 60% to 65%, that is, grab a handful of medium with your hand, pinch it vigorously, wet between your fingers, slightly watery but not flowing down, loosen your fingers into a block, and disperse it after falling to the ground as appropriate. However, different types of wood chips and thickness of different slightly different, should be flexible. Mycelium growth, the relative humidity of the air requires less than 70%; the formation and development of the child entity is 85% to 95%, and the growth period is appropriately reduced in order to extend the product freshness period.
Air
Tea tree mushrooms are aerobic large fungi, very sensitive to carbon dioxide, poor aeration carbon dioxide concentration is too high, easy to cause slow growth of mycelium, the substrate stipe thick and long, the cap is small, early open umbrella, deformed mushrooms.
Light
Tea tree mushrooms are light-demanding fungi, and the substrate has the characteristic of phototropic growth, and suitable diffuse light is a necessary condition for the completion of normal life history. During the mycelium culture, it still grows in the absence of light, but does not form the substrate. The substrate is not easy to differentiate without light, and the appropriate light intensity is 50-300 lux.
Acidity
Tea tree mushroom mycelium prefers a weakly acidic environment, optimal pH 5.5-6.5, pH 4 or below or 6.5 or more mycelium growth is sparse and slow.
Cultivation Season Arrangement
The temperature of the mushroom is relatively wide, and the reproductive period is also long. Due to the climatic characteristics, subtropical areas can be planted on an annual basis as long as the problem of winter heating is dealt with.
Selection of cultivation places
Tea tree mushroom bag cultivation can be carried out indoors on a frame, or outdoors in a plastic shade greenhouse cultivation.
1, the construction of plastic shade.
Built in an east-west direction, the width of the layer rack discharge 2 to 3 rows is appropriate. General shed width of 5 to 7 meters, shed length of about 25 meters, not more than 40 meters, shed side height of 2 meters, 3.5 meters high in the high, available moso bamboo or wood as a pillar, the roof of the shed can be made of moso bamboo pieces of arched scorn or with a strip of wood, the roof of the shed every 3 to 5 meters to set up a ventilator in the north-south installation of the door 80 to 100 centimeters wide. In the shed roof and shed around the cover 8 silk thick plastic film, in the shed roof covered with straw or thatch, play a role in heat insulation and heat preservation. Around the shed, straw curtains or sunshades can be used to shade the sun. Successive mushroom sheds are generally 1 meter apart.
2, frame.
The general shelf width of 140 to 150 centimeters, the two sides of the layer without access to the shelf width of no more than 70 centimeters, in order to straighten the hand can be operated as appropriate. Layer spacing: each layer is 50 to 60 centimeters apart, the bottom 20 to 30 centimeters from the ground. Every 2 meters to set up a layer of shelves, the layer of shelves are connected with wooden strips or bamboo stalks, and then discharged bamboo chips or wooden strips. Between each row of layer racks to set up a channel, the general distance of 70 centimeters.
