1. Time of cultivation: Black fungus in autumn means that people could prepare fungus sacks in spring and realize fruiting in autumn in the bag cultivation process of Black fungus. In general, people inoculate cultivation bags from the last ten days of May to the first ten days of June and cultivate from the last ten days of July to the first ten days of August.
1. Matters needing attention on the formula of compost:
A. It is improper to use too thin sawdust. The formula of compost is similar to Black fungus in spring, but too thin sawdust should be avoided or it will cause the phenomenon of “Burning in fungus”. When finding that spawns become red, it means that sawdust is too thin, with the addition of the accumulated carbon dioxide and the elevated temperature, all negative factors will make spawns stop growing.
B. The formula should be moderate and rich in nutrition, bran should not be less than 15%.
3. Materials-mixing and bagging:
A. Materials-mixing: people could mix materials and sterilize on the day that you use, it is improper to keep materials stay overnight or it will cause rancidity on compost.
B. Bagging: people could adjust the tightness of the machine in accordance with the granular size of sawdust, people could conduct more tight bagging on thick sawdust and vice versa.
4. Spawn running: during the period of spawn running, people could conduct vertical placement on fungus sacks, leave a certain gap between each fungus sack. The temperature should be under 28 degrees and two times of ventilation should be given in every morning and night. The humidity of substrate is appropriate when finding that the ground is free from dust.
5. The picking of Black fungus: low temperature and long growth period are acquired during the growth period of Black fungus in autumn. Therefore, delayed picking is important in increasing the high yield of Black fungus in autumn. In general, people could arrange picking before November.
