Do you want to always have fresh, aromatic mushrooms at any time of the year? Learn how to grow them yourself in a plastic bottle or bag! The technology is extremely simple and accessible. The mycelium will delight you for a long time. The harvest will be enough for your family and all your friends!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

    Growing Mushrooms: A Step-by-Step Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Straw is perfect for growing mushrooms. It needs to be tamped into a large pot, filled with water and boiled for at least half an hour. After that, let the excess liquid drain and cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note:<\/strong>\u00a0The straw remains slightly damp, but when squeezed, only a few drops of water are released. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is an ideal medium for seeding mycelium.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    In a clean plastic bottle, use a soldering iron or a hot nail to make holes\u00a0\u00a0every 10 cm<\/strong>\u00a0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mushrooms will grow from here. Cut off the bottom of the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Clarification:<\/strong> All instruments, bottle and hands must be sterile (laundry soap + alcohol).<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Prepare oyster mushroom mycelium. It is convenient to use grain mycelium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It takes\u00a0\u00a02-3 weeks<\/strong>\u00a0to grow on straw .<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Turn the bottle upside down. Lay layers of damp straw and sprinkle with grain mycelium.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Put the cut off bottom of the bottle back in place, glue it with tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Place the bottles in a room where the temperature will be maintained at\u00a0\u00a0+18\u2026+24 degrees<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The air humidity should be  80%<\/strong> . Then the mycelium will quickly and efficiently take root. To maintain such humidity, it is enough to spray the bottles from a spray bottle  1-2 times a day<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Advice:<\/strong> Provide additional ventilation to the room and do not allow moisture to stagnate in the straw.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    At the stage of mushroom formation, low-intensity light (natural or artificial) is required for  10-12 hours<\/strong>  a day, maximum  5 W<\/strong>  per 1 sq. m. Comfortable temperature will be  +11\u2026+28 degrees<\/strong> . Humidity should also increase – up to  90-95%<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    The oyster mushroom germinates quite quickly and without problems. The mycelium fills the entire straw and begins to form mushrooms that crawl out of pre-cut holes in the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The most dangerous is damage  by mold fungi<\/strong>  (the substrate has become black or bluish). As a rule, this occurs due to lack of sterility. Such mycelium should be thrown away immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Advice:<\/strong> You need to cut the mushrooms with the stem – then the mycelium will produce a harvest 2-3 more times.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Perhaps the main condition for success in growing mushrooms is high-quality seed material + sterility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From the moment of sowing the mycelium to harvesting, it takes an average of  1.5 months<\/strong> . Practice growing oyster mushrooms in several bottles and, if successful, move on to larger bags!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
