What are mushroom cultivation techniques?
There are many mushroom cultivation techniques.
First, most species need particular techniques or technologies, so it is important to select ones that work with the species you want to grow.
From a commercial perspective, you want to choose an approach that will optimize your production, quality, and speed with a minimum cost, given the materials and conditions you have available.
Here are some examples of technologies for three species:
- shiitake (Lentinula edodes)
natural logs cut from trees (particular trees that shiitake can grow on, like oak and a few others). Spawn placed in holes drilled in the logs. [natural log technology]
artificial logs made in filtered polypropylene bags with sterilized, supplemented, hardwood sawdust. Spawn added and mixed after sterilization and cooling. [bag technology]
growth in polypropylene bottles with sterilized, supplemented, hardwood sawdust. Often fully mechanized. Spawn added and mixed after sterilization and cooling.[bottle technology]
- oyster (Pleurotus spp)
artificial logs made with bags like shiitake (except pasteurized and NOT sterilized and sometimes using chopped straw). Spawn added and mixed after pasteurization and cooling. [bag technology]
artificial logs made from long plastic tubes otherwise like bag technology. [column technology]
- button mushrooms/portabella (Agaricus bisporus)
composted, supplemented straw/manure substrate placed in large trays [tray technology]
composted, supplemented straw/manure substrate placed in plastic bags [bag technology]
Once an appropriate technology is selected, there are all kinds of techniques involved including temperature, CO2, humidity, light, and pest management that can be combined in any number of ways to get the best production of the selected species.
