What are the technical points for harvesting edible fungi?
1. Master the best harvest period. All kinds of mushrooms are basically 70 to 80% mature, with beautiful appearance and good taste. The edible fungi harvested at this time have bright colors, strong fragrance, thick caps, and soft and tough flesh. 2. Pay attention to picking technology. When picking edible fungi, all mushrooms with stalks must be harvested according to the principle of picking the big ones and leaving the small ones. When picking mushrooms, pinch the base of the mushroom handle with your thumb and index finger, first rotate it left and right, and then gently pull it up. Be careful not to bruise the little mushroom buds. For colloidal fungi, use a sharp knife to cut off the whole flower from the base when harvesting, taking care to keep the flower shape intact. 3. Choose suitable weather. Harvesting on sunny days is conducive to processing, but on rainy days the water content is high, making it difficult to dry and affecting the quality. 4. Use suitable containers. Picked fresh mushrooms should be packed in small baskets or baskets, and should be handled with care to keep the fruit bodies intact and prevent damage from crushing each other. In particular, it is not advisable to use sacks, wooden barrels, wooden boxes and other containers to avoid appearance damage or mildew. The harvested fresh mushrooms must be packed according to the size of the mushroom body and the shape of the mushrooms for processing.
