Mushroom bed preparation

Procedure - 

  • Wash hands thoroughly with antiseptic lotion.
  • Take the polythene cover and tie the bottom end with a thread and turn it inwards.
  • Shade dry steam-sterilized straw to get a uniform moisture level in all areas.
  • Take out a well-grown bed spawn, squeeze thoroughly and divide into two halves. (Two beds are prepared from the single spawn bag)
  • Fill the straw to a height of 3” in the bottom of the polythene bag, take a handful of spawn and sprinkle over the straw layer, concentrating more on the edges.

  • Fill the second layer of the straw to a height of 5” and spawn it as above.
  • Repeat this process to get five straw layers with spawns. 
  • Gently press the bed and tie it tightly with a thread.
  • Put 6 ventilation holes randomly for ventilation as well as to remove excess moisture present inside the bed.
  • Arrange the beds inside the thatched shed, (Spawn running room) following the Rack system or hanging rope system.
  • Maintain the temperature of 22-25° C and relative humidity of 85-90 % inside the shed.
  • Observe the beds daily for contamination, if any. The contaminated beds should be removed and destroyed.
  • Similarly, observe regularly for the infestation of insect pests viz., flies, beetles, mites, etc., If noticed, the pesticide like Malathion should be sprayed inside the shed @ 1 ml per liter of water.
  • The fully spawn-run beds can be shifted to cropping room for initiation of buttons.

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.
