Tips for Cultivating Oyster Mushrooms

For those of you who are interested in developing and cultivating oyster mushrooms, here are some easy tips for oyster mushroom cultivation.

Prepare a kumbung or mushroom house as a medium for baglog treatment and fungal growth. Usually a kumbung is a building or room consisting of shelves for storing baglogs.

This room is maintained to have the right temperature and humidity for the growth of oyster mushrooms

Prepare a baglog for planting media or a place to put oyster mushroom seeds. Usually the material for making baglog consists of sawdust. This baglog is usually wrapped in plastic and is cylindrical in shape. Both ends of the baglog are given holes so that the oyster mushrooms can grow. See also how to cultivate western mushrooms.

How to Harvest Oyster Mushrooms

So that the harvest of oyster mushrooms can be successful and successful, follow the following method of harvesting oyster mushrooms:

Cut the mushrooms well

To be able to harvest oyster mushrooms properly, cut the oyster mushrooms at the base of the stem so that the roots are carried away. To be able to slice this oyster mushroom you can use a knife or other knife that is quite sharp. Also prepare a special basket to accommodate the harvest of oyster mushrooms.

clean the oyster mushrooms well

After successfully harvested, clean the mushroom growing media that is still attached.

This cleaning should not be carried out in the cultivation area so that there is no decay in the remnants of the fungus that can cause caterpillar pests and inhibit the growth of the next generation of oyster mushrooms. See also how to cultivate tiger mushrooms.

Oyster mushroom packaging well

After finished harvesting and cleaning, oyster mushrooms need to be packaged properly. This packaging must be done carefully and neatly so that no part of the mushroom is folded.

Plastic packaging should also not be allowed to swell too much because the gas released by the oyster mushroom can make the plastic tighten. Leave room for the gas to escape from the mushrooms.

Oyster mushroom harvest time should be chosen well and carefully. Harvesting of oyster mushrooms can be done 5 to 7 days after the pins or future mushroom parts start to come out.

Do not let the mushrooms harvest late because the color of the mushrooms will quickly turn yellow and not clean anymore. This will reduce the selling price of the harvested oyster mushrooms.

Choosing good oyster mushrooms to harvest

Not just any oyster mushroom can be harvested. Make sure the oyster mushrooms that will be removed are cooked and of good quality
