And though it is difficult to refuse taste of salty milk mushrooms or fried cepes, the increasing number of people gives preference to cultural champignons and oyster mushrooms. Some mushroom pickers grow up their houses.
It is required to you
- - ready cultural mycelium;
- - horse manure;
- - plaster;
- - lime;
- - urea;
- - plastic bags or boxes;
- - spray.
Instruction
1. The best soil for cultivation of champignons is horse manure. Add to 50 kg of horse manure 12 kg of plaster, 13 kg of lime and 1.5 kg of urea. Well mix, water, condense and cover with film. Instead of horse manure it is possible to use manure of cattle, but in this case it is necessary to bring in addition in substrate about 25% of straw or dry leaves. Substrate for landing of champignons ripens within 15-20 days.
2. Support in substrate not only humidity and temperature. For appropriate fermentation it is necessary to provide intake of oxygen. In week after bookmark turn over heap pitchfork, shatter lumps, well loosen and put stack again. In week repeat the procedure, at the same time try to interchange the position of external and inside layers.
3. In ready substrate the unpleasant smell of ammonia disappears, and straw becomes friable. Color of good stuff – dark brown. If manure continues to smell of ammonia, prolong fermentation. It will end only when substrate gets pleasant sweetish smell.
4. When substrate is ready, lay it on the constant place. If you grow up mushrooms indoors, use racks or boxes. At cultivation in the open ground, make ranks in trenches about 30 cm in depth or directly on the earth.
5. It is better to buy cultural mycelium in specialized shops. Only it to provide good harvest. It is necessary to bring mycelium strictly according to the instruction specified by the producer. During germination maintain air humidity within 50-55%. Air temperature should not be too high, there is enough 18-20 degrees. If indoor air too warm or stagnant install the fan.
6. Growth of mycelium to happen approximately in three weeks. On the surface of substrate the white raid appears. At its emergence it is necessary to fill up the surface of nutritious soil with friable earth mix layer of 2-4 cm. In process of drying-out humidify landings from spray. It is necessary that on surface the earth crust was not formed.
7. Usually fructification begins in 40 - 50 days and lasts for 2 - 3 months. Pick mushrooms when the film on plates becomes light pink color. Do not allow aging of mushrooms, it leads to mycelium exhaustion. Unscrew mushrooms when collecting, cover pole with earth. It becomes not to damage mycelium.
