How to grow basswood mushrooms? Tips on growing basswood mushrooms

Have you heard of the cultivation of basswood mushrooms? The mushrooms grown by this method are closest to wild mushrooms, with excellent taste and nutritional content, and have the characteristics of short growth cycle and high yield. If you also plan to grow shiitake mushrooms, you can learn the cultivation method of basswood mushrooms.

Basswood mushroom cultivation method

1. Preparation of Basswood

When using basswood mushroom cultivation, you must prepare the basswood trees in advance. It is best to harvest this kind of tree in winter because winter is the dormant period of the tree. It stores the most nutrients and has a lower water content. After harvesting, it is not easy for the bark and wood to be disconnected. After harvesting, wait for it to undergo necessary drying treatment before artificial inoculation.

2. Pay attention to seedling cultivation and shading when growing basswood mushrooms

After artificial inoculation of basswood mushrooms, attention should be paid to shading. If the sunlight is too strong, it is not conducive to the growth of shiitake mushrooms. In addition, during the seedling raising period, basswood should be placed in a barcode or tile style, and the position should be adjusted every month. This is conducive to the ventilation of the mushroom wood, and also allows the seedlings to absorb more water, which is conducive to the rapid growth of shiitake mushroom seedlings.

3. Management of mushroom production during the basswood cultivation period

When planting shiitake mushrooms on basswood, special attention should be paid to the water supply, because when ventilation conditions are strengthened, water loss will accelerate. At this time, water should be added in time to make the humidity of the mushroom farm reach about 90%, and the water content of the mushroom wood should be above 50%. When adding water, you can spray water in the early morning or in the evening. In addition, when shiitake mushrooms are growing vigorously, their respiration will also accelerate. It is necessary to keep the air fresh in the mushroom farm so as to produce high-quality shiitake mushrooms.
