ease in the process of cultivation that can be managed as a sideline or small scale economic enterprises, medium and large (industrial). Countries that have developed oyster mushroom cultivation as an agro-business is the mainstay and leading Chinese, Dutch, Spanish, French, Belgium and Thailand. These countries trermasuk largest mushroom producer in the world.
If you are interested to pursue the cultivation of oyster mushroom, the important things that must be met is to create and maintain the maintenance of environmental conditions (cultivation) are eligible oyster mushroom growth. Another important thing is to keep the oyster mushroom growing environment free of microbial or other nuisance plants. Not infrequently the oyster mushroom cultivators found baglog (oyster mushroom bag for the media) other than plants grown oyster mushrooms, this is due to poor sterilization process and environment are not conducive.
There are some things that need to be prepared for this melakuka oyster mushroom cultivation, maintenance or planting stage includes the preparation of oyster mushroom production facilities and stages of oyster mushroom cultivation. This stage is the oyster mushroom cultivation process from start making the media until the harvesting of oyster mushrooms. If you do not want to bother to sow seeds, you can buy baglog who are ready to seed oyster mushrooms that are ready cultivated.
Preparation of Oyster Mushroom Cultivation
Building / Room Oyster Mushroom Cultivation:
Basically, the building can utilize existing space dalm home, usually building to building Oyster Mushroom cultivation of mushrooms consists of several rooms, including:
1. Room preparation
Preparation room is a room that serves to conduct the sifting, mixing, waste storage, and sterilization.
2. Inoculation Room
Inoculation room is a room that serves to plant the seedlings in the planting medium, this space should be easy to clean, not a lot of ventilation to avoid contamination (presence of other microbes).
3. Incubation Space
This room has a function to grow the fungus mycelium in growing media that has been in inoculation (Spawning). The condition of the room is set at a temperature of 22-28 degrees C with humidity 60% - 80%, room is furnished with bamboo racks to put the planting medium in plastic bags (baglog) that has been in inoculation.
4.Ruang Planting
Space planting (growing) is used to grow the fruiting bodies of fungi. This room is also equipped with shelves of planting and spraying equipment / carburetion. Carburetion functions to flush and adjust the air temperature at optimal conditions 16-22 degrees C with humidity of 80-90%.
Equipment And Material Oyster Mushroom Cultivation
Equipment used in the cultivation of mushrooms among other things, Mixer, hoes, shovels, filler, bottle, boilers, wheelbarrow, seeds spoon, scoop.
The materials used in the cultivation of oyster mushrooms are wood powder, rice bran (bran), limestone (CaCO3), gypsum (CaSO4), corn flour (sesame seeds), glucose, plastic bags, rubber, cotton, plastic ring.
prosesdan technique
Oyster Mushroom Cultivation In carrying out some processes and activities undertaken include:
1. Preparation Materials
Materials must be prepared including sawdust, rice bran, lime, gypsum, flour corn, and glucose.
2. Sifting
Sawdust from sawmills have this level of uniformity is not good, this resulted in mycelial growth rate is less equitable and less well. Overcome this then needs to be sifted sawdust. The same size sieve to sift the sand (ram chicken), sifting must use a mask because in a lot of sawdust mixed with dust and sand.
3. Mixing
The materials were weighed according to the needs of sawdust mixed with water then sprayed with approximately 50-60% or if we lump the powder agglomerate but not out of the water. This indicates the water content is sufficient.
4. Composting
Composting is the process of weathering material is done by membumbun sawdust mixture and then cover it with plastic
5. Specialty Paper (Making Baglog)
Wrapping using plastic polypropylene (PP) with the required size. How to wrap that is by inserting the media into the plastic and then struck / crushed until the solids with a bottle or using a filler (compactor) and then stored.
6. Sterilization
Sterilization was carried out using a tool that aims menginaktif Sterilizer microbes, bacteria, molds, and yeasts that can interfere with the growth of fungi that are planted. Sterilization was performed at a temperature of 90-100 degrees C for 12 hours.
7. Inoculation (The Seeds)
Inoculation is activity insert seeds into the medium mushroom fungus that has been sterilized. Baglog drained for 1 night after sterilization, and then we took and planted seeds on top by using a tablespoon / teaspoon of seeds of about + 3 tablespoons and then tied with rubber and covered with cotton. Oyster Mushroom seeds of good are:
- Variety superior
- Age optimal seed 45-60 days
- Color seeds evenly
- No contamination.
8. Incubation (during mycelial growth) Oyster Mushrooms
Oyster Mushroom Incubation is done by storing at room incubation with certain conditions. Incubation was carried out until all the white media equally, usually the media will appear white evenly between 40-60 days.
9. Oyster Mushroom Harvest
Harvesting is done after the growth of the fungus reaches the optimal level, harvesting is usually done 5 days after fungal growth potential. Harvesting should be done in the morning to preserve freshness and facilitate marketing.
Similarly, oyster mushroom cultivation methods, may be useful.
