Pleurotus citrinopileatus is delicious in taste, rich in protein, vitamin, mineral and other nutrient elements, eating it often facilitates lowering the blood pressure and reducing cholesterol content, thus it is ideal for cardiovascular disease sufferers and obese patients.

BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

1. TEMPERATURE: Pleurotus citrinopileatus is categorized into medium and high temperature, temperature difference stimulation is not required for fruiting of Pleurotus citrinopileatus. Mycelia of Pleurotus citrinopileatus adapt to the temperature range of 5-30 degrees Celsius, the optimal temperature range for the growth of mycelia and sporocarps is respectively at 20-26 and 22 degrees Celsius.

2. HUMIDITY: Suitable water content for substrate is 60%-65%. During the formation period of sporocarps, required relative air humidity is 90%-95%.

3. ILLUMINATION: Illumination is not required during the growth period of mycelia, mycelia lead quick growth speed in dark condition while 150-160 LUX of scattered light is needed during the formation and growth phase of sporocarps.

4. AIR: Pleurotus citrinopileatus is aerobic, carbon dioxide promotes the growth of mycelia. During the formation phase of primordia, sufficient CO2 guarantees the normal growth of mushroom buds.

5. PH VALUE: During the growth period, the optimal PH Value is 6.5 while 6.0-6.5 is preferred during the fruiting phase.

RECOMMENDED FORMULAS OF MASTER CULTURE & PRODUCTION SPAWN:

A: Wheat Kernels 67%, Sawdust 30%, Water Content of 50%-55%.

B: Sawdust 78%, Bran 20%, Gypsum Powder 1%, Cane Sugar 1%, Water Content of 55%.

C: Cottonseed Hull 78%, Wheat Bran 20%, Gypsum Powder 1%, Cane Sugar 1%, Water Content of 60%. 

RECOMMENDED FORMULAS OF SUBSTRATE:

A. Corncob 78%, Corn Powder 20%, Gypsum Powder 1%, Superphosphate 1%, Water Content of 60%-65%, PH Value of 6.0-6.5.

B. Cottonseed Hull 47%, Sawdust 30%, Bran 18%, Cane Sugar 1%, Calcium Carbonate 1%, Water Content of 60%-65% and PH Value of 6.0-6.5.
