Management of high temperature mushrooms

Temperature and moisture management measures for high-temperature shiitake mushrooms

Shitake mushrooms are cultivated off-season. The fruiting period is from May to November, with July to August being the season with the highest temperatures of the year. , is also the season that is least conducive to the differentiation and development of shiitake mushroom buds. There are fewer mushrooms during this period, and mushroom farmers must strive for more mushrooms during this period. In terms of management, the main purpose is to reduce the temperature in the mushroom shed to promote the differentiation of mushroom buds and the growth and development of fruiting bodies.

The specific measures are:

First, thicken the shade on the roof of the shed, that is, there is no direct sunlight in the shed, only scattered light around the shed, which can reach eight to nine shades, which can Increase ventilation by sparing the lower part of the curtain.

The second is to add a spray belt to the roof of the shed and spray water on the roof every evening or morning to lower the temperature.

The third is to increase ventilation, use underground well water if possible, and spray water in the morning and evening or at night to lower the temperature and increase the temperature-humidity difference to improve output and quality.

The fourth is to fill the ditch with running water to lower the temperature and adjust the humidity of the mushroom bed. You can choose to carry out furrow irrigation at noon, and drain it in the morning and evening. During the mushroom-free period, drainage and irrigation should be combined. Do not irrigate all day or for multiple days in a row.

Fifth, drainage and irrigation should be combined during the mushroom-free period. Watering should not be carried out all day or for many consecutive days to prevent long-term exposure to high-humidity environments, which may cause hypoxia and reduce the vitality of mycelium. Spraying should be carried out in small amounts and multiple times depending on the temperature. water principle.

Sixth, in hot and dry weather, the mushroom bed cannot be covered with film during the day. Adhere to the principle of spraying water in small amounts and multiple times. Only when the temperature drops at night can the film be covered.

Seventh, in hot and humid weather, the mushroom bed should be partially covered and sprayed with water once a day to enhance ventilation. On rainy days, there is no need to spray water.

Eighth, mushroom beating must not be carried out at high temperatures, otherwise the mycelium will be injured and germs will take the opportunity to enter, which is also a major cause of rotten tubes.

The ninth is to cover the upper part of the mushroom bed with a film to prevent rainwater from soaking the mushroom tube, causing the water content to be too high and the tube to be rotten due to lack of oxygen.
