To achieve high-yield, high-efficiency, high-quality, and low-cost production of edible mushrooms like oyster mushrooms and shiitake during the winter season, it's essential to focus on several key areas. These include proper facility setup, careful selection of raw materials, efficient bagging techniques, and effective management practices.
First, the cultivation environment is crucial. In colder months, indoor growing with controlled temperatures is ideal. Common heating methods include pipe heating or coal stoves. While each has its pros and cons, coal stoves are often preferred due to their cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and ability to provide quick warmth in colder regions. Winter conditions also offer advantages, such as fewer pests and lower bacterial contamination, which contribute to higher yields and better mushroom quality. With fewer vegetables available in winter, there’s a greater market demand, making this a profitable time for mushroom farming.
Second, choosing the right raw materials is vital. Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are among the easiest to cultivate, with simple methods and diverse options. One popular approach is using unsterilized composted material. This involves mixing the substrate, piling it up, covering it with plastic, and allowing it to heat naturally. When the pile reaches 60°C, it's turned to ensure even heating. After three cycles, the material is ready for inoculation. By maintaining an optimal carbon-to-nitrogen ratio and controlling temperature, the growth of oyster mushrooms can be accelerated while minimizing bacterial contamination.
Third, the bagging process plays a significant role in efficiency. Some growers prefer small bags for faster turnover, while others go for larger ones for higher yield. However, experiments have shown that a standard size of 18 cm x 45 cm (30 cm after loading) with 0.6 kg of dry material is most effective. Using a two-layer, three-strain method—where two layers of substrate are placed with a layer of mycelium in between—enhances productivity and supports intensive cultivation.
Finally, proper management is essential for success. The positioning mushroom technique helps prevent nutrient competition and reduces waste. Instead of fully opening the bag, small holes are left for oxygen exchange, which minimizes moisture loss and improves mushroom quality. This method not only increases yield but also ensures better appearance and texture, making the final product more appealing to consumers.
By combining these strategies, mushroom farmers can maximize output while keeping costs low, ensuring a successful and sustainable winter harvest.
