Mushroom cultivation conditions and environment requirements

Mushroom Growing Conditions

Mushrooms can be cultivated indoors, growing from mycelium into fruiting bodies and finally becoming edible fungi. They can grow better and faster in a suitable environment. They are a type of saprophytic fungi, have no chlorophyll, and cannot photosynthesize. They mainly use various nutrients in the culture source as their nutrient source. The culture medium mainly consists of pig manure, cow manure, and phosphate fertilizer.

Mushroom Growing Climate

Mushrooms have different temperature requirements at different growth stages. In the mycelium growth stage, the most suitable growth temperature is 18-20 degrees, and in the fruiting body stage, the most suitable temperature is 12-16 degrees. It is very important to control the temperature during the growth stages of mushrooms. If the temperature is too high, the development of mycelium will accelerate, but it will be very weak. If the temperature is below 4 degrees, it will stop growing.

Mushroom growing area

Mushrooms are widely grown in the Weibei dry belt, where the temperature changes quickly, the air humidity is very low, and the changes between the four seasons are more obvious. Mushrooms can be sown in advance. They are also distributed in the Guanzhong Plain.

Mushroom Planting Time

Mushrooms are suitable for planting from mid-August to early September. If there are mushroom farmers with cave dwellings or fruit cellars, they can pile up the wheat straw for fermentation after harvesting. They can be sown at the end of July and harvested at the end of August.

Mushroom cultivation benefits

Mushrooms can be processed into food and medicine, but poisonous mushrooms can cause harm to humans. As long as the technology is in place, the input-output ratio is generally around 1:3. With an investment of 30,000 yuan, the income in one production season is 80,000 to 90,000 yuan.
