What are the principles and phases of mushroom cultivation?

By BIO RESEARCH

Mushroom cultivation is a technical process. 

As Biobritte mushroom professionals often talk in a technical language, a few of these terms will first be explained.

Phase 1: Composting

The growing cycle of mushrooms starts with compost. Compost preparation starts with horse manure. 




Phase 2: Spawning

In a tunnel, the indoor fresh compost is pasteurized at 57-60 degrees Celsius. This kills all possible bacteria. The compost stays in the tunnel to mature for six days, after which the compost is mixed with spawn that will produce the mushrooms: the mycelium. 




Phase 3: Casing

The matured compost is spread onto long stainless steel boxes, the mushroom beds. The beds are inside special dark rooms called cells. The temperature in the cells is kept nice and warm, at about 23 degrees Celsius. A layer of peat casing material is added on top of the compost to keep the compost moist.




Phase 4: Pinning

The mycelium starts to form little buds, which will develop into mushrooms. Those little white buds are called pins. In this phase, air temperature and humidity can influence growth. 




Phase 5: Harvesting

After this, the temperature is kept steady at 18 degrees Celsius. Mushrooms grow best at this temperature; they’ will grow 3 cm (1 inch) in a week, which is the normal size for harvesting. In week 3 the first flush is harvested. Mushrooms destined for selling fresh are still harvested by hand; mushrooms destined for preserving are being picked and sorted mechanically.




Mushrooms cultivation is a true profession!

Mushroom farms receive the spawn in the exact composition they requested. The same goes for the casing. However, this doesn’t mean that mushroom growers of today have an easy life. Mushroom cultivation is not just a matter of setting the climate control dials and waiting for the mushrooms to grow.

What is the major problems in mushroom cultivation?

By BIO RESEARCH
Problems and solutions in the cultivation of the mushroom including: a) Mycelium fails to form Improper initiation strategy.  Solutions : consult parameter of growth. Alter moisture, temperature, light, carbon dioxide, etc.  Note : If the substrate is too moist, decrease moisture b) Chlorinated or contaminated water.  Solutions :  Use activated charcoal water filters to eliminate chemical contaminants or any other ways of simple or appropriate technology. c) Bad substrate.  Solutions : Check substrate. Spread the substrate and remix the substrate, package again, make sure all raw materials are good and fresh.   Note : It is necessary to pasteurize immediately after bagging otherwise fermentation gas will slow down the rate of growth of mycelium or stop mycelium growth. d) Bad pasteurization.  Solutions : Check method of pasteurization. Release all air and make sure there is continuous steam before starting pasteurization for a period of 3h. e) The substrate in the bag is too hot when i

Oyster mushroom vs button mushroom nutrition | Nutritional comparison between oyster and button mushrooms

By BIO RESEARCH
Oyster mushrooms are beloved the world over for their delicate texture and mild, savory flavor.  Oyster mushrooms are more expensive than white button mushrooms but less so than rarer mushrooms like morels, and take little prep since they can be used whole or chopped.                                Oyster: “These are low in calories and rich in fiber, protein, selenium [which may help prevent cancer], niacin [aka, vitamin B3] and riboflavin [aka, vitamin B2].Oyster mushrooms also contain an active compound called benzaldehyde, which has potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, research shows oyster mushrooms may significantly reduce blood glucose levels. They have also been shown to help lower cholesterol levels.”    White Button: White button mushrooms represent 90 percent of the total mushrooms consumed. “They’re a good source of potassium, B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus [which supports bone and teeth health] and iron. They also contain selenium, a trace
