The key points of environmental monitoring of edible fungi mainly include the following aspects:
1、Temperature monitoring: The growth of mushrooms has high requirements on temperature, and different types of edible fungi have different temperature requirements. Therefore, monitoring and controlling the temperature in the bacterial room is crucial. Temperatures that are too high or too low may affect the growth and yield of fungi. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly measure and record the temperature in the bacterial room, and take corresponding adjustment measures as needed, such as adjusting ventilation, heating or cooling equipment, etc.
2、Humidity monitoring: Mushroom growth requires suitable humidity conditions. Humidity has a direct impact on mushroom development, mycelium expansion and fruiting body formation. Therefore, the humidity level in the bacterial room must be regularly monitored and maintained. Generally speaking, humidity should be controlled within a suitable range and avoid being too high or too low. Monitoring and regulation can be done using a hygrometer or humidity control device.
3、CO2 concentration monitoring: The concentration of carbon dioxide produced during the growth stage of mushrooms also has an important impact on the growth and yield of mushrooms. High concentrations of carbon dioxide may result in restricted growth of fungi and reduced yields. Therefore, the carbon dioxide concentration in the bacteria room needs to be monitored and ventilated or otherwise adjusted as needed.
4、Light monitoring: Some edible fungi have certain requirements for light conditions. Some strains require darkness to grow, while others require light to promote fruiting body formation. Therefore, according to different types of edible fungi, appropriate light monitoring and adjustment must be carried out to ensure that appropriate light conditions are provided.
5、Air quality monitoring: Air quality also has a certain impact on the growth and quality of fungi. Regularly check the air quality in the bacteria room, including oxygen content, harmful gas concentration, etc., to ensure the freshness of the air and good ventilation.
In addition to the above points, other aspects need to be monitored according to specific strains and bacterial room conditions, such as soil pH, water quality, fertilizer use and application, etc. By comprehensively considering the above points and conducting reasonable monitoring and adjustment according to specific strains and bacterial room requirements, the yield and quality of edible fungi can be improved.
