HOW TO CULTIVATE SHIITAKE MUSHROOM

NOW LEARN WITH US SHIITAKE MUSHROOM CULTIVATION

THE FIRST STEP YOU MUST HAVE CLEAN PLACE WITH TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDTY CONTROL SUCH AS ROOM OR GREEN HOUSE

THE SECOND STEP YOU HAVE TO BRING GOOD KIND OF SAWDUST ( OAK SAWDUST MAY BE GOOD ONE) AND AMOUNT OF BROTINE SOURCE SUCH AS BRAN AND SOME OF CACO3 CALCIUM CARBONATE AND IF YOU WANT SOME OF GYPSIUM

NOW LETS BEGAN

WE HAVE THREE METHODS FOR THE CULTURE BUT I LL TALK NOW ABOUT THE ORDANARY METHOOD BY STERILAIZATION WITH EMPHASIS AN THE REASONS OF THE FAILURE
1- MIX THE SAWDUST WITH THE BRAN AND LIME (CACO3) IN THIS RATIO

79 20 1

ADD WATER 1.5 WEIGH OF YOUR MIXTURE

FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU HAVE 10 KG OF MIXTURE YOU HAVE TO AD 15 LITER OF WATER

2- BRING POLYPROBLINE BAGS IN SIZE OF 25 * 40 CM
3- PUT 1.5 OR LESS OF MIXTURE WITH WATER IN EACH BAG (LARGER AMOUNT REQUIRE LONGER TIME FOR STRELIZATION )
4- PUT YOUR BAGS IN AUTO CLAVE FOR 6 - 8 HOURS ON 121 C OR TELL YOU ENSURE THAT THE MIDDLE OF MIXTURE IN EACH BAG HAVE REACHED 121 C FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES ( REMEMBER SAWDUST HAVE BAD CONECTIVITY FOR THE TEMBERETURE )
5- BUT YOUR BAGS IN COLD AREA TELL IT BECOME COLD IN CLEAN AREA (DONT LEAVE IT OPENED)
6- INCULATE YOUR BAGS WITH GOOD SPOONS ( I LL EXPLAIN HOW TO DISTINGUSH THE GOOD SPAWN SOON )

7- CLOSE YOUR BAGS AND LEAVE IT IN THE ROOM IN TEMPRETURE BETWEEN 5 : 27 C

8- LEAVE IT TELL IT BECOME WHITE (TOTALY COLONIZED BY SHIITAKE MYSELIUM )
9- MAKE CUT IN THE BAGS AND MAINTAIN THE HUMDITY IN THE ROOM AROUND 85% ALL THE TIME WITH RENEWING THE AIR IN THE ROOM TWO TIMES DAILY
10- WAIT TELL YOU FOND BROUN COLOR IN SIDE THE BAGS
11- REDUCE THE TEMPRETURE BY 3 DEGREES
12 IN ONE TWO 3 WEEK YOU MAY HARVEST YOUR FIRST FLUSH OF SHIITAKE
BEST REGARDS
