Oyster Mushroom Cultivation Method

The process is as follows oyster mushrooms
1 . Sawdust selected and cleaned . The portions were large and sharp discarded because it can damage the plastic substrate .
2 . Existing materials were mixed according to the composition in a dose jolang / plastic basin . Stir until evenly , not to get clumps . The materials are blended to produce 100 logs are as follows :• Sawdust or 10.5 kg of bagasse smooth• Cornstarch 0.6 kg• fine bran 21 kg• 1 kg TSP• 3 pieces Lime
            Give enough water , with a water content of 60 % and pHmedia measured .
3 . Mixture inserted into a transparent plastic with a size of 20 x 35 cm and a thickness of 0.5. Media should be compacted in order to form a good log . Good media is uneven density . Do not forget , plastic bottom end of the index finger pricked so ripe . This is done so that the material can be inserted and compacted sitting position ( not tilted ) . Charging was not too full , but spared 15 cm to facilitate binding .
4 . Each log weighed , as many as 1.2 kg .
5 . The rest of the plastic ends folded out into the ring , then tied the plastic mouthpiece with heat-resistant rubber .
6 . Shut up the log with kapaskemudian cover again with paper , then tied again with the rubber .
7 . Do steaming towards media log for 12 hours .
8 . The duration of steaming calculated after boiling water inside the drum .
9 . When finished steaming , remove it from the media on the drum . Then , leave it on for 8 hours or until chilled in a closed room . Henceforth , planting seedlings .
10 . After a cold medium , planting new seeds , how:

        Planting was done in a closed room
        Spray the room with alcohol content of 95 %
        Use gloves gloves and spray with 95 % alcohol
        To facilitate the planting of seedlings , inoculated media will be stored in the front near the left hand . Seeds will be stored in the implanted near the right hand . Between media and seedlings to be planted , kept spirits light .
        Open rubber , paper covers , as well as cotton cover media .
        Enter the 3 tablespoons of seeds to a media log .
        Every movement used spoons , heated with a flame of light spirits .
        Media is already planted the seeds covered with cotton back .
        Planting done quickly , but it must be thorough .
11 . Media that have been planted seeds stored on the shelf .
12 . Leave until the entire media is filled with mushroom mycelium .
13 . Mycelium grows meet media log . Once all the overgrown mycelium media logs , cotton cap and ring on the top of the log is opened .
14 . Environmental humidity is maintained by using a hose sprayer .
15 . Fruiting bodies that have been sufficiently bloom can be harvested .

To cultivate oyster mushrooms, necessary tools and materials as follows:

• Kerosene Stove
• Drum diameter 80 cm, height 96 cm
• Shelf, with an area of ​​3m ²
• pH meter
• Thermometer
• Sprayer / sprayers, with a 2-inch PVC pipe as many as 300 pieces
• Ring
• Light spirits, with 30 liters volume
• plastic basin
• Sekpo
• Sawdust albasia much as 10.5 kg
• fine bran were 21 kg
• Cornstarch as much as 0.6 kg
• 1 kg of pure TSP
• 3 pieces Lime
• Seed F3 mushrooms 3 pieces
• Alcohol 95% as much as 1 liter
• transparent plastic bag (20x35x0, 5) more than 300 cm
• Paper rolls 10 x 10 up to 300 pieces
• Heat resistant rubber bracelet 600 pieces
• 30 liters of water wells

Seeds that can be used is F3. The seeds can be made or obtained from mushroom growers who can make mushroom seedlings. To make their own seeds, needed tools and materials sterile because the process is highly susceptible to contamination. Sterilization of seeds making regular use of laminar flow or transfer box.

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.
