Pleurotus cornucopiae fruits in varying temperature, the temperature range on the differentiation and growth of sporocarps is 5-22 degrees and the optimal fruiting temperature is 10-18 degrees. Therefore, during the production phase of sporocarps, ventilation plays a crucial part. The followings are several points needing attention summarized by Beijing Tongzhou Agricultural Technology Promotion Station.
Frequently enhance the ventilation in the following conditions:
1. In a greenhouse with a large amount of mushrooms.
2. When you find mushroom caps are tiny and stipes are short.
3. When you find the temperature of mushroom greenhouse is high.
4. In foggy day, give two-sides ventilation in calm weather. (Source: Beijing Agricultural Technology Promotion Web)
