1. Cultivation source: Most of them use straw and cottonseed hulls as raw materials for cultivation of oyster mushrooms. 2. Sterilization: Place the culture material in a bag and then sterilize it in a steamer. 3. Make culture material: Prepare dry material and water in a ratio of 1:1.5, stir evenly and pinch the culture material tightly with your hands. 4. Inoculation of hyphae: Be calm when inoculating and try not to make any movement. 5. Protect mycelium: After inoculation, place the plastic bag in a ventilated place to allow it to slowly grow.
1. Culture sources
There are many culture sources for oyster mushrooms. Pleurotus ostreatus can be grown from many crops and vegetables. For example, wood chips, leaves, and straw can all be used to grow oyster mushrooms. Most of them use straw and cottonseed hulls as raw materials for oyster mushroom cultivation.
2. Sterilization
The sterilization step is very important. The width of the feed bag is 22-25 cm and the quality of plastic wrap is planted into a 40-50 cm plastic tube. , put the culture material into the tube, and the bag needs to be sterilized in a steamer and steamed in 100-degree steam for about 10 hours.
3. Preparation of culture material
The production of culture material is also very simple. Weigh the raw materials of the culture material and put them on the open ground, and then prepare dry material and water 1:1.5 Pour it in according to the proportion and mix it evenly with a rake. After mixing evenly, pinch the culture medium tightly with your hands. If there is water but it does not drip out, it means the water is added just right.
4. Pick up the mycelium
Use tweezers to take out the strains from the bottle and put them into a bag. Put 3 pieces of strains in one mouth, the same size as beans. That's it. The tweezers used to take the seeds must first be disinfected before use. For disinfection, you can apply alcohol or potassium permanganate on them. When inoculating, you should be calm and try not to make any movement to avoid the possibility of bacterial invasion.
5. Protect the mycelium
Protect the mycelium. After inoculation, place the plastic bag in a ventilated and breathable place to allow it to slowly grow bacteria. In winter and summer, You can put more in early spring, usually in double rows, and then cover them with plastic wrap, or cover them with straw curtains. In autumn or late spring, you can't put them in double rows, but only in single rows.
6. Management
When the mycelium inside is full, you can take out the mushroom chamber, and then place it in a single row, with 80cm between each row, and change it every day. Breathe for several hours at a time to keep the air fresh in the mushrooming room. You can use a spray bottle to spray water to increase the air humidity.
