Brazilian mushroom cultivation is relatively simple and suitable for growing in warm and humid climates. Here are the steps for growing Brazilian mushrooms:
1、Strain preparation: First, you need to purchase high-quality Brazilian mushroom strains to ensure that the strain is of good quality to ensure yield and quality.
2、Preparation of culture medium: Brazilian mushrooms like to grow on a medium rich in organic matter. Commonly used mediums can be compost, rice husk, wheat straw and other organic matter. The culture medium needs to be disinfected to kill possible harmful bacteria and avoid affecting the growth of Brazilian mushrooms.
3、Medium filling: Fill the treated medium into a planting bag or planting box, seal it well, and provide a suitable growth environment for Brazilian mushrooms.
4、Inoculation of strains: Spread the purchased Brazilian mushroom strains evenly on the surface of the filled culture medium, and mix gently with clean hands or tools to ensure even distribution of mycelium.
5、Cultivation: Place the planting bag or planting box filled with bacteria under suitable environmental conditions, usually requiring a temperature between 20°C and 25°C and a relative humidity above 80%. The mushroom silk begins to grow and gradually covers the entire medium.
6、Fermentation: After the mycelium completely covers the entire culture medium, a period of fermentation is required, which will help improve the yield and quality of Brazilian mushrooms.
7、Fruiting: After a period of fermentation, the mushroom silk begins to form the cap, which is the top part of the Brazilian mushroom. After the caps begin to appear, the humidity and temperature of the environment need to be gradually reduced to promote the formation and growth of the caps.
8、Harvesting: Generally speaking, Brazilian mushrooms can be harvested when the edges of the cap begin to roll up and the gills are exposed. Use a clean tool to cut off the Brazilian mushrooms, and do not leave any remaining stipes on the culture medium to avoid affecting the next production.
