Mushroom outdoor high-yielding cultivation techniques

The straw mushroom, also known as the orchid mushroom, is highly valued for its delicious taste and rich nutritional content. It is known for its ability to help lower blood pressure and may play a role in cancer prevention. Cultivating straw mushrooms is an efficient and cost-effective process, as it primarily uses straw as the main raw material and requires minimal equipment. This mushroom thrives in high temperatures, has a short growth cycle, and offers quick returns with low production costs. For successful cultivation, the growing area should be soft, well-drained, and rich in organic matter. The soil should be prepared one week before planting and turned over for 1–2 days. After turning, the soil surface should be loosened, broken into clods, and whitened. A wide furrow should be created, and the plot should be level or shaped like a turtle shell, with the center raised by 20–25 cm. This helps prevent subsidence after watering. The plot should be about 60 cm wide for easy management. Small ditches should be dug between plots, and deep drainage channels should surround the field. After the entire area is prepared, the soil should be moistened and treated with lime or bleach to kill pests and bacteria. When preparing the straw for cultivation, it should be fresh, dry, and free from mold. The straw should be beaten and tied into bundles, with each bundle weighing about 0.5 kg and shaped like a "torch" at the top. Soak the grass for 9–12 hours to ensure it absorbs enough moisture. For every 100 kg of straw or rice bran, add 3 kg of culture medium. To plant the mushrooms, first sprinkle a 5 cm wide circle of mycelium around the base of the grass. Then, place the soaked grass outward, closely packed, and contact the mycelium. Spread a layer of rice bran evenly on top. After the first layer, indent 3–4 cm inward and spread another layer of mycelium along the edge, covering about 5 cm in width. Repeat this process for the next layers, ensuring each layer is compacted and watered. Generally, 4 layers are stacked, and the top should be covered. Each pile typically contains 100–200 kg of straw, with 5–6 bottles of culture per 100 kg. After planting, the grass pile needs to be compacted gently to promote mycelial growth. Within 3–4 days, trample the pile daily in the morning to make it tighter, which aids in heat retention and moisture control. Monitor the temperature carefully; if it gets too high, lift the pile to ventilate. If it's too low, expose it to sunlight during the day and cover it at night with straw or plastic to maintain warmth. The ideal temperature range is 30°C to 40°C. To keep the moisture level around 65%, spray water three times a day—morning, midday, and evening—for four days after planting. After 7–10 days, fruiting bodies will begin to appear. Initially, they are gray and resemble rapeseed grains. Within 3–4 days, they grow larger, becoming smooth and full. Harvest them promptly when they reach maturity, as delayed harvesting can cause the caps to break and stick together, reducing quality. Straw mushrooms grow quickly, so it's best to harvest once in the morning and once at night. You can expect 4–5 harvests in total. Once harvested, process the mushrooms immediately to prevent the caps from opening. Processing involves removing dirt from the base, sorting the mushrooms, and preparing them according to specific requirements.
