Shiitake mushrooms were originally cultivated
on natural oak logs, a process which took two to four years before
the mycelium colonized the wood sufficiently to produce fruiting.
Now, however, oak sawdust is packed into poly bags, sterilized,
inoculated with spawn and placed in environmentally controlled
rooms. Certain compost made of nutritious ingredients is also
widely used to grow Shiitake. These man-made "logs" produce Shiitakes
in seven weeks. The total process, from spawning to the end of
harvesting takes about four months.
Description:
* Cost: each Shiitake-log costs 0.9~1.0 sterling pound (CIF
UK for example);
* Productivity rate of each log: 1~1.2 Kg (fresh Shiitake
mushroom), 3~4 crops;
* Size and weight: 15cm x 42cm/log, 1.5Kg/log, for 40 feet
container, we can put in 10950 logs. |

Like other mushrooms, Oyster mushrooms are
grown in mushroom houses but they require a bit more humidity
and fresh air. They grow well on a range of agricultural and wood
waste products including hardwood chips, chopped cereal straws
or corn cobs. After the growing medium is pasteurized and cooled
it is inoculated, that is, mixed with spawn and packed into long,
tubular shaped plastic bags. Holes are punched in the bags to
allow the mycelia to breathe and the bags are hung up or set on
racks in the growing rooms. After about 14 days, the mushrooms
pop out through the holes and can be harvested. If straw is used
as a growing medium, the substrate can be used as fertilizer after
mushroom production is completed.
Description:
* Cost: each Oyster log costs 0.75~0.8 sterling pound (CIF
UK for example);
* Productivity rate of each log: 250~350g (fresh Oyster mushroom),
2 crops;
* Size and weight: 15cm x 25cm/log, 650~750g/log, for 40 feet
container, we can put in 18350 logs. |
