Adding lime or soda ash to raise the pH Soda ash - commercially manufactured anhydrous sodium carbonate. How much to add these components depends on: alkalinity/acidity of your water; method […]
What is the incubation period for oyster mushrooms? The incubation period is the time from the inoculation of the mycelium until the appearance of the first primordia. During this time, […]
Old mushroom blocks that have spawned should not be left near the growing chambers. The substrate rots in a plastic bag. A mushroom fly settles in it, which lays larvae. […]
In the process of overgrowing mycelium, the humidity in the incubator must be increased. If you have only one incubator that contains blocks of different ages, keep the humidity in […]
The priority process in the first few days of incubation is the growth of oyster mushroom mycelium - after all, it was introduced into the substrate in large quantities. Then […]
Hydrothermy is a method of heat treatment of raw materials for oyster mushrooms. Dry raw materials are poured with water so as to completely cover the raw materials. Then the […]
YouTube says it's simple: pour boiling water over the components that were at hand (leaves, cardboard, shavings, sawdust), held for 5-8-12 hours (each mushroom grower recommends different numbers), you can […]
A mushroom incubator is a room for growing oyster mushroom mycelium in a two-zone growing system. The process of overgrowing mycelium in the substrate is called incubation. Mushroom incubator What […]
Mushroom growing system Two different technologies are used in growing oyster mushrooms. One of them assumes the presence of two types of premises with different microclimates. In one room, which […]
Creating an optimal climate To grow oyster mushrooms, three interconnected systems are needed: moisturizing (humidification in the mushroom chamber), heating, ventilation. In summer, cooling is also required, with a chiller […]
Oyster mushrooms do not grow without lighting. In complete darkness, mushrooms do not form at all, a thin stem grows from primordia, like a needle with a black dot instead […]
What does ventilation for oyster mushrooms consist of? There are quite a few ways to distribute the air flow in oyster mushroom chambers, since there is no generally accepted standard. […]
