At present, vertical cultivation is commonly applied in Agrocybe cylindracea, which emphasizes the fruiting in one side.
The proper specification of fungi sack is 35*17cm, 400-500g of dry materials are usually held in each bag, the proper proportion between material and water is 1 to 1.2 and the optimal PH Value is 6-6.5. In general, people inoculate after sterilizing fungi sack, spawns become fully-grown 10 days ahead of time. When people find that spawns are fully-grown and the surface of material begins to secrete yellow water, they could open bags, straighten the bag mouth, cover non-woven fabrics and spray water on the fabrics and the mushroom room to achieve the humidity of 85%-95%. At the same time, certain scattered light and applicable ventilation should be given.
People could arrange picking when they find that mushroom bodies have grown to 10cm, caps are in sphere and collarium hasn’t separate yet. After picking, they could clean up the surface of material, spray 100ml of water on the surface of each fungi sack, cover non-woven fabrics and continue to cultivate and realize fruiting. After picking the second flushes of mushroom, people could moderately add nutrition water and vitamins depending on the temperature and the nutriture of fungi sack so as to urge the third flushes of mushroom.
Currently, the biological conversion rate of Agrocybe cylindracea is in 70%-80%. When people find any flies, mosquitoes after opening bags, they could timely kill with pesticides so as to maintain environmental hygiene. The last point needing attention is that waste fungi sacks should be timely removed out of mushroom house and the temperature and humidity should be moderately lowered as well.
