Oyster Mushroom Cultivation Method

Traditionally , in Japan , the seeds planted in holes in wood or etched line dry . Drying is done with solar energy or electricity . In modern culture , the media used to grow artificial timber ( logs ) made ​​in a cylindrical shape . The composition of this medium is a source of wood ( sawing wood , bagasse ) , sources of sugar ( starch ) , lime , fertilizer P , and water .
1 . nutrition
Optimal growth environment can be achieved when appropriate and available nutrisiyang enough . Protoplast cells require nitrogen , phosphorus , and nutrient lai . Carbon than is required for blastema formation , is also needed as a source of energy . So that it takes more carbon than nitrogen .Nitrogen is required for the formation of nucleic acids . While protein and chitin required for the formation of the fungal cell wall .
2 . The presence of other microorganisms
Growing media where the main energy source for the oyster mushrooms . The presence of other microorganisms can cause competition for nutrients , so the fungus is not expected to grow optimally .In fact , some of these competitors may secrete compounds that are toxins to the surrounding organisms .Sterilization of media is an effective way to relieve the growing media from the presence of foreign bodies in the planting medium is not expected .

Oyster mushroom mycelium grows optimally at a pH slightly acidic media, which is between 5.0 to 6.5. PH value of the medium is necessary for the production of white oyster mushroom metabolism, such as the production of organic acids.

Acidic conditions can cause impaired growth of oyster mushroom mycelium, grow contamination by other fungi, and even lead to death of oyster mushrooms. The pH is too high (alkaline), can cause metabolic system of white oyster mushroom are ineffective. In fact, the cause of death. Oyster mushroom fruit body grows optimally at pH near normal environment (pH 6.8 to 7.0).

White oyster mushroom is a plant that requires aerobic facultative saprophyte sebangai oxygen compounds for growth. Smooth air circulation will ensure the supply of oxygen. Limited supply of oxygen air around the place can interfere with the growth of the fungus to grow fruiting bodies.

Oyster mushrooms growing on a lack of oxygen has a small fruiting bodies and abnormal. Fungal fruiting body that grows in places that lack oksisgen will easily wither and die. Oyster mushrooms also require fresh air circulation for growth. Therefore, it must be ventilated so that air exchange can run well.

Fungal mycelium growth requires carbon dioxide content is rather high at 15% -20%. However, oyster mushrooms growing on the spot containing carbon dioxide is too high have abnormal fruiting bodies. Typically, oyster mushroom caps relatively small compared to the stalk grows.

Oyster mushrooms grow optimally in the dark. In contrast, fungal fruiting bodies can not grow in the dark. Light needed to stimulate the growth of fruiting bodies. Small mushroom stalks will grow and grow abnormally when the hood when not obtain watering primordial growth.

However, sunlight can directly penetrate and cause damage kelayuan, as well as the relatively small size of the hood. Mold growth will only require light is diffused. Therefore, the required shade trees near buildings where mold maintenance.

Subtract the water content in the highly influential on the growth and development of fungal mycelium.
Too little water will result in the growth and development will be disrupted, even stopped altogether. However, if too much water, the mycelium will rot and die. Subtract the water content in the plant will be obtained with a good watering when it's done.
Fungus grows well in moist conditions, but do not want the pool of water. Oyster mushroom mycelium grows optimally at subtract that has a water content of about 60%. As for the body to stimulate the growth of shoots and fruit, need humidity around 70-85%.

Oyster mushrooms grow well in the temperature range between 23-28 ° C, meaning that the normal temperature range for growth. Walauapun so, with the temperature below 23 ° C, the mycelium fungus can still grow despite a slower take.
As for the growth of fruit body shapes such as oyster shells, requires a temperature range of 13-15 ° C for 2 samapai 3 days.

When the value of the low temperature is not obtained, then there are two possibilities occur, ie the growth of the fungus grown fruit will not form, which means maintenance is not successful, or even formed, the time it takes to long.
But even then the second phase of the oyster mushroom is still able to grow over a temperature range from 12 to 37.8 ° C.
