How to prevent deformities during the cultivation of lion's mane mushroom?
1. Causes of formation
Generally, the color of the mushroom body is yellow, the spines are short and thick, some fruiting bodies turn red or the young mushrooms are pink from the beginning to maturity, and the mushroom body smells bitter. The main factor for the formation of this type of mushroom is low temperature. Often due to cultivation in autumn and winter, the temperature drops suddenly, and the fruiting body development and growth stage is lower than 10°C. The mushroom body turns red, and the color deepens as the temperature drops. When indoor cultivation is ventilated, the fruiting bodies are stimulated by DC wind and the mushroom bodies become chlorotic. The cause of discolored mushrooms should be identified and treated accordingly. Caused by low temperature, when arranging vaccination, it is necessary to take into account that about 25 days after vaccination, the local temperature should not be lower than 14℃. Using this as a boundary, the vaccination period can be calculated forward to avoid the harm of low temperature.
2. Preventive measures
For outdoor border planting, the cover film can be sealed, ventilated when the temperature is high at noon, and the cover can be pulled slightly thinner to attract light and increase the temperature. In the case of indoor cultivation, avoid direct wind blowing on the mushroom body during ventilation, or cover the mushroom bag near the window with wet gauze.
The above are the causes and preventive measures of abnormal color and deformation of Hericium erinaceus. During the cultivation process, growers must observe diligently. Once deformities are discovered, they must promptly prevent and treat them. Mastering the above preventive measures can effectively avoid deformities in Hericium erinaceus.
