WHAT IS THE GROWTH CYCLE OF MUSHROOMS

What is the growth cycle of mushrooms

Different varieties have different growth cycles

Introduce the seasonal production schedule of mushrooms

Most cultivated mushrooms in China are cultivated under natural conditions and greatly influenced by natural climate. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the appropriate cultivation season according to the temperature characteristics of mushrooms. The cultivation procedures of mushroom are basically similar everywhere, but the time arrangement of cultivation and production is different due to the influence and restriction of climatic factors, which is roughly as follows:

(I) southern region: the fruiting period is continuous. Generally, the harvesting period is from mid-to-late November to mid-april of the following year. The harvesting period is about 140 days, and 6 tide mushrooms can be harvested. Usually Spring Festival as the boundary, pre - festival mushroom, post - festival mushroom.

(2) Yangtze river basin: due to the influence of seasonal climate, the fruiting period of mushrooms was stopped at the low temperature stage in winter, and the fruiting period was divided into autumn mushroom period and spring mushroom period. Generally, the autumn mushroom period starts from the middle of October and ends around the middle of December. Spring mushroom period started in mid-march of the following year and ended in May.

(iii) northern production areas: in north China, such as shandong, henan and hebei provinces, the composting fermentation of mushroom compost is generally carried out in mid-to-late August; Sowing time arrangement in early September, more easy to control in this period, those temperature 25-20 ℃, suitable for the mushroom mycelium growth; Bacteria and covering a month later, the temperature drops to below 20 ℃, fruiting body formation. And north China mushroom mushrooms present period suitable arrangement (10 - November) in the fall and spring (4 to 5 months), the temperature below 5 ℃ for dormant in the winter. Generally planted in early September, autumn mushroom peak in November, accounting for 70% of the total production; Low temperature from December to march of the following year. Chungu peak in April, to the mid-to-late may end.

Take the production schedule of agaricus bisporus in north China for reference:
