In recent spring, many farmers have been reaching out to the edible mushroom market, making arrangements for cultivars and discussing various production-related matters. It's clear that farmers are becoming more aware of market trends and commodity values. Their shift from a traditional, small-scale approach to commercialized production marks a significant step forward. This development suggests that the path toward industrialization in the edible mushroom sector is broadening, and future business operations will likely become even more efficient and profitable.
During this spring season, the mushroom market is expected to see a general price increase, similar to that of vegetables, though the rise is not anticipated to be drastic. Overall, the market situation remains stable and promising.
For optimal sales, most cultivated mushrooms should be sold fresh. Only when there is a surplus or pressure on the market should drying or salting be considered as alternative preservation methods. Here are some recommended varieties and their respective growing formulas:
**Pleurotus ostreatus (Oyster Mushrooms):**
Fruiting can be arranged for 3–5 months. Recommended strains include 8359 and 12 broad-temperature strains from agricultural science institutes. A basic formula includes 250 kg of cottonseed hulls, 5 kg of lime powder, 3.5 kg of gypsum, 5 kg of superphosphate, 1 kg of urea, and one bag of three-dimensional nutrient pheromone. Plastic bags with a flat width of 20 or 22 cm are ideal for cultivation.
**Agaricus bisporus (Button Mushrooms):**
After April, the harvest begins, and the Nongxiang 66 strain is recommended. A standard formula consists of 450 kg of cottonseed hulls, 50 kg of wheat bran, 1.5 kg of lime, 5 kg of gypsum, 2.5 kg of light calcium, 3 kg of superphosphate, 1 kg of urea, and 250 g of mushroom additive. Alternatively, 450 kg of hardwood, 30 kg of wheat bran, 20 kg of corn flour, 1.5 kg of lime, 5 kg of gypsum, 2.5 kg of light calcium, 3 kg of superphosphate, and 250 g of special mushroom additive can be used. Plastic bags of 20 or 22 cm width are preferred, and clinker is typically used for cultivation.
**Coprinus comatus (Shaggy Ink Cap):**
This variety can be fruiting for 3–5 months. The Cc168 and C833 strains are well-suited. With proper environmental control, fruiting can extend until late June. A basic formula includes 250 kg of cottonseed hulls, 5 kg of lime, 3.5 kg of gypsum, 5 kg of superphosphate, 1 kg of urea, and one bag of three-dimensional nutrient essence. Alternatively, 250 kg of corn cobs, 10 kg of lime, 4 kg of gypsum, 5 kg of superphosphate, 1 kg of urea, and one bag of three-dimensional nutrient essence can be used. For advanced growers, a wood pellet formula using 220 kg of hardwood sawdust, 30 kg of wheat bran, 10 kg of lime, 4 kg of gypsum, 5 kg of superphosphate, and 1 kg of urea is also an option. After fermentation, one bag of three-dimensional nutrient pheromone is added. A 22 cm wide plastic bag is recommended.
**Hydrangea (Enoki Mushrooms):**
With the strain Agricultural Science 96, the cultivation method is similar to that of button mushrooms. Fruiting can be arranged for 3–5 months.
**Hericium erinaceus (Lion’s Mane Mushroom):**
This variety can be harvested from March to June, with the H08 strain being suitable. A basic formula includes 205 kg of wood chips, 25 kg of wheat bran, 20 kg of bean cake powder, 5 kg of superphosphate, 4 kg of gypsum, 4 kg of calcium carbonate, 1.5 kg of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.6 kg of urea, 3 bags of successful preservation, and one bag of three-dimensional nutrient saccharin. Alternatively, 210 kg of cottonseed hulls, 30 kg of wheat bran, 10 kg of corn flour, 3 kg of gypsum, 5 kg of superphosphate, 3 bags of successful preservation, and one bag of three-dimensional nutrient essence can be used. Depending on the cultivation method, 20 cm wide polypropylene bags are commonly used, and clinker is often employed for sowing.
These guidelines provide a comprehensive overview for farmers looking to optimize their edible mushroom production and improve market competitiveness.
