Too high temperature of material and insufficient nutrition will cause the phenomenon of different length in stipes, relatively coarse in the bottom with compact tiny fuzz and small in mushroom caps.
Enoki mushroom belongs to fruiting performances at low temperature, myceliums can grow in between 5 and 32 degrees, the most suitable temperature is in between 22 and 25 degrees. The differentiation of sporocarps can happen in between 3 and 18 degrees, the most suitable temperature is between 8 and 12 degrees. In low temperature, Enoki mushroom has robust growth, in high temperature, mentioned phenomenons will happen. Here are two aspects which can cause high temperature
1. Open bags ahead of time and rush to the period of fruiting and bud thinning. The time of spawn running and fungus age are long, in order to make it earlier for market, many mushroom farmers open fungus sacks ahead of time, on that occasion, fungus sacks are in halfway spawn running, sporocarps of Enoki mushroom on top begin to form and grow, but the bottom of fungi sack is still in the phase of spawn running, much heat will be released during the process of spawn running, which will raise the temperature of fungus sacks and the growth of spawns will be too strong. It is suggested to unfasten bag mouth when the spawn running is almost done. What’s more, it is improper to directly open fungus sacks, people could firstly unfasten string, after a few days, loosen bag mouth and finally wholly open fungus sacks.
2. It is suggested to moderately lift film below bag mouth, which can make heat on the bottom of give off and avoid dried heads of mushroom cap.
