1. Hericium erinaceus, the raw material for planting, is saprophytic bacteria of wood, so it has a particularly strong dissolving effect on wood, and generally nitrogen sources, nitrogen sources, mineral factors and vitamins can also be used. In the case of artificial cultivation, the most suitable nitrogen source is wood residue, in addition, bagasse and cottonseed hull are also satisfactory nitrogen sources, while the most suitable modules are wheat bran and chaff, and urea solution, ammonium salt and phosphate can also be used as nitrogen sources. In addition, some nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium must be digested and absorbed during the whole growth process of Hericium erinaceus.
2. Hericium erinaceus has different temperature requirements. Its mycelium grows at 6 to 34 degrees, and the most suitable temperature is 25 degrees. If the temperature is lower than 6 degrees in the case of fungus growth and development, it will stop metabolism. If it exceeds 30 degrees, the fungus will grow slowly and will continue to age. When it exceeds 35 degrees, it will stop growing or even die, and the fruiting body will grow at 650 degrees.
3. Illumination Hericium erinaceus basically does not need light in the early growth stage, that is, the mycelium growth stage, but in the process of the production and growth of fruiting bodies, it is really inseparable from light. If there is no light at this time, the primordium cannot be produced, and only weak diffuse light stimulation can produce fruiting bodies. In the whole process of fruiting body growth, there must be enough diffuse light to promote the growth of fruiting body, but the light should not be too strong, otherwise the color of mushroom body will be abnormal, endangering production, sales and quality.
4. Air Because Hericium erinaceus is a good-tempered edible fungus, it is very fragile to carbon dioxide. If the carbon dioxide content in the air is too high, it will continue to affect its stalk division, and it is very easy to produce coral reef-like deformed mushrooms. Therefore, in the case of planting, we must always ventilate naturally to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the mushroom shed to prevent abnormal situations and damage our own planting profits.
In addition to the above aspects, environmental humidity is also a key factor. In the case of planting, the water content of the culture medium is generally 60% to 70%, but if the water content is lower than 60% or higher than 80%, the total number of primordia division of Hericium erinaceus will be significantly reduced, resulting in autophagy and low yield.
In the fungus forming room, the relative humidity of air is 70%, but it needs to be 85% to 90% when the fruiting body emerges. Only in this way can the growth rate of fruiting body be guaranteed. In 70% cases, if fruiting bodies are produced, the surface layer will become drier and yellower due to drying, thus reducing the yield. On the contrary, if it is higher than 95%, the spines are long and thick, the center of the mushroom body is small, and the mushroom body is dendritic, resulting in deformed mushrooms.
These are all problems that should be paid attention to in artificial cultivation of Hericium erinaceus. Hericium erinaceus is beneficial to spleen and stomach health and helps digestion. It is a pure natural green food with high edible nutrition and good medicinal value. I believe many people have their own experiences when planting Hericium erinaceus, so you can share them.
