Mycélium Agaricus brunescens 30 l

Description

Colour: white with brownish tones.

Size: large depending on the number of fruits, which will vary with handling conditions.

Shape: rounded, dense cap, with a straight, cylindrical stem. Thick veil.

Cultivation characteristics

Good quality, well-finished compost with a well-integrated moisture content of 68-72% is required. Selective compost with abundant Actinomycetes and Humicola.

Rapid growth both in incubation (12-14 days) and in the invasion of the topsoil and fruiting time.

Fructifies easily.

Recommendations

The temperature in the compost during INCUBATION should not exceed 29ºC, the optimum temperature being 25/26ºC. At these temperatures mycelial growth is strong and vigorous, and germination will be completed in 12-14 days.

It is important to choose a COBERTURA mixture with a good texture, with a high water retention power and porosity. It should be applied well moistened, uniformly, and with a thickness of 3.5 to 4 cm. In this way, the mycelium that invades the cover will form thick strands that facilitate the transport of nutrients to the fruit. The characteristics of this invading mycelium will determine the number and size of the mushrooms.

During the invasion of the mulch, keep the relative humidity and CO2 concentration high, ventilating only to prevent the temperature of the compost from exceeding 29°C.

Induction of FRUCTIFICATION should take place when the mycelium is spread evenly throughout the soil.

For fruiting, the temperature of the compost should be lowered to 18°C.

In the case of fresh market mushrooms, the temperature should be lowered gently and over a long period of time.

The CO2 concentration during fruiting should not drop below 1100 ppm, although this will depend on the number of fruits desired.

CO2 levels thereafter should be between 1,500 and 2,000 ppm.

During BLOOM, it will sometimes be difficult to maintain these CO2 levels. As long as the level does not exceed 2,200 ppm, serious damage will not occur, but stem elongation will occur. Humidity should be around 85% and always below 90%.

The ideal temperature for the development of mushrooms is 16/18°C, although their resistance spectrum is wider.

Destination

Excellent mushroom for fresh market.
