Among the plants that do not have chlorophyll, oyster mushrooms are the most appropriate choice for cultivation (Read: oyster mushroom cultivation) because of its ease and many health benefits such as:

Increase immunity, controlling bad cholesterol in the body, ward off free radicals and so forth.

There are various types of cuisine that can be processed with this basic ingredients. In addition to the menu side dishes, oyster needles can also be made as a snack or snack. Because it should not be surprised by the increasing number of people interested in glancing mushroom cultivation as a new business opportunity. The benefits that can be obtained from this business is quite tempting.
However, it is better before starting, to know in advance the right way or method of cultivation so that the risk of failure can be reduced or eliminated.

Many say if mushroom cultivation is quite easy. But still if not in barengi with sufficient knowledge, certainly will not produce optimal harvest.

The main requirement of oyster mushroom cultivation.

Oyster mushroom cultivation can be done in areas where the air temperature is between 23 to 28 degrees Celsius.

However, this fungus can still be cultivated in areas with temperatures below 23 degrees. However, the process of planting takes longer. Then in its fruit growing, oyster mushrooms require temperatures of about 13 to 15 degrees.

Water content also has a major influence on the development and growth of oyster mushrooms. If the water content in the subtract is too small, the growth of mycelium and the stalk of the fungus can not run normally and can even be stopped.

Mycelium is part of the fungus that serves to absorb the essence or food from other organisms commonly referred to as Vegetative Miselium while other parts have the utility to reproduce known as the Generative Miselium.

Conversely, if too much water content, mycelium becomes rotten and then die. That's why the water content in the subtract should always be set using good watering techniques. Oyster mushroom is a plant that likes to be in a humid place but no puddles.

The next condition, oyster mushroom mycelium can grow optimally in a dark place. But for the trunk of the fruit actually grow faster in a bright place. This means that, this plant still needs sunlight but the light should not penetrate directly to the space used as a place of cultivation.

The supply of too much sunlight will make the oyster mushroom grow dwarf. In order for this problem can be avoided, around the storage space or planting media for cultivation of oyster mushrooms should be given a shade plant.

Control the supply of sunlight, oxygen and air circulation system well for maximal mushroom growth.

Oyster mushroom is a type of plant that requires a lot of oxygen supply and a good air circulation system. So every building for the cultivation of oyster mushrooms should also be equipped with adequate ventilation for easy air out in the room.

Make a kumbung.

In the natural habitat, oyster mushrooms often grow and develop in forests or under woody trees with dense leaves. But if you really want to cultivate your own, you can use the beam that placed on the house mushrooms are called kumbung.

Kumbung is a building of wood or bamboo and roofed shingle or tile.

The roof should not be replaced with zinc or asbestos, because it can make the room temperature so hot. While the surface of the floor only in the form of ordinary soil to help the process of water absorption when the fungus in flush.

Space kumbung is then given a rack of storied between 2 to 3 levels whose function as a place to put baglog. This frame is also made of wood or bamboo and laid on a row with a distance of 40 centimeters.

The goal for oyster mushroom treatment is easy to do. Every 1 meter rack, can be used to put about 70 to 80 baglog.

How to Create a Baglog.

Media for oyster mushroom cultivation is called baglog. This medium is made from sawdust mixed with rice bran, lime CaCo2 and water.

Comparison of the composition of each of these materials is 80%, 10 to 15%, 3% and 40 to 60%.

The composition composition of each of these materials is 80%, 10 to 15%, 3% and 40 to 60%.

How to make it, all the ingredients in mix until blended and give water. To be able to tell if the media has been perfectly mixed, hold it by hand. If the media is not cracked and does not remove water, sign the media is ready for use.

Prior to use as a growing medium, baglog mixture is fed into transparent plastic as thick as 1.5 mm and measuring 20 x 35 centimeters. When entering, the baglog must be in solid and the filling does not have to be full. Leave the top of the plastic about 15 centimeters, then tied with a special rubber that is heat resistant.

The mouth of this baglog is then given cotton and rubber again. The next process is to put baglog in a drum of boiling water for about 12 hours. After that baglog in lift and drain about 8 hours in closed room.

For the cultivation of large-scale oyster needles, this baglog is self-made so the cost is not wasteful. But for the beginner or only have limited capital, the best choice in the form that has been so. The goal is to save time and be more focused on the process of planting and maintenance.

Fermentation and sterilization.

After the drain, planting media for the cultivation of oyster mushrooms are stored for 5 or 10 days in accordance with the conditions of the materials in use. The purpose of this storage is.

to accelerate the process of weathering or composting on planting medium. It also can kill the seeds of wild mushrooms that often interfere with the growth of oyster mushrooms.

During this process, the temperature in the planting medium or baglog will rise up to 70 degrees Celsius. For weathering or composting to flatten in all parts, the baglog must be back and forth every day. Composting or weathering can be discontinued after the media turns brownish.

Choosing and preparing seeds.

Choosing and preparing seeds is an important task in the cultivation of oyster needles to obtain maximum yield. To get the seeds, there are 2 methods to choose from. First make it yourself and the second buy at the farm shop.

Whether making your own or buying seeds directly, there are some things you should always pay attention to. The seedlings should have a biological value of about 75%. Then for those who buy, buy at a farm shop that has been certified by government agencies and check the expiration date.

Planting.

Planting oyster needle seeds should be done in a closed and sterile room. To maintain the level of sterility of the space, spray with alcohol with 95% content. Also wear gloves that are sprayed with alcohol in the same amount.

Before planting, prepare the planting media in the right hand and the seeds in the left hand. Also prepare also fire spirtus in the middle. Once everything is ready, rubber and cotton baglog can be opened. Do not wait too long, the seeds directly in the input in the media. Each baglog can be filled in the seeds as much as 3 tablespoons.

baglog, the spoon should be preheated with a spirtous flame. After that baglog on the lid back with cotton also put back on the shelf. The next step is to stay care and wait until the media is grown by mycelium. If the mycelium has grown perfectly, the baglog and cotton cover rings can be removed.

This safeguarding process is the most difficult part of all oyster mushroom cultivation processes. In addition to fast, there should be no slight error at every step. Because everything must be carefully with heart. Especially for beginner memory of others who have experienced.

Prevention and control of pests and diseases.

One type of pest that often cause interference to the cultivation of oyster mushrooms is a caterpillar. This distracting animal often appears if the inner room is too humid. Therefore, the space should always be clean especially during the rainy season. If it is necessary, the watering process is stopped temporarily until the worms are successfully removed.

The next pest of clipping usually appears around the mouth area of ​​the baglog. There is no other technique to combat it except by taking it directly by hand.

The cause is a system of air circulation or ventilation that is not perfect so that kumbung space contains high CO2 gas. So to overcome it stay set the ventilation as possible.

Oyster mushroom growth can be disrupted if it is attacked by other fungi such as mucor sp, aspergillus sp, penicillium sp and rhizopus sp. This pathogenic attack often occurs in the baglog with the sign of the appearance of green, black or yellow in accompanied by mucus.

Oyster mushroom growth can be disrupted if it is attacked by other fungi such as mucor sp, aspergillus sp, penicillium sp and rhizopus sp.

This pathogenic attack often occurs in the baglog with the sign of the appearance of green, black or yellow in accompanied by mucus.

In addition to humid room conditions, the emergence of this disturbing fungus can also be caused by the maintenance of less sterile plants. So that the treatment equipment should always be cleaned and moisture kumbung must be kept in a stable condition.

Harvesting and packaging.

Harvest cultivation of oyster needles can be performed after the surface of the baglog closed perfectly mycelium or about 2 weeks from the planting period. If all treatment processes are carried out in the right way, the harvest can last 5 to 8 times with a harvest distance of 2 to 3 weeks. Every 1 kilogram baglog produced oyster mushrooms as much as 0.7 to 0.8 kilograms.

This harvesting should be done as soon as the mushroom is blooming and becoming big. Mushrooms are taken from the base of the stem with a sharp knife and clean. After that save on plastic containers of high size should not be more than 15 centimeters.

In addition, harvesting should not be late and should always be on time according to schedule. Delays can make the crops not good. Oyster mushrooms change color to brownish yellow and broke on the hood.

After the harvest, oyster mushrooms should immediately be packed with a vacuum plastic. Oyster mushrooms can last longer if the plastic used to store no air or just a little air.

If the harvest cultivation of oyster mushrooms are sent out of town, you should use a special means of transport that is equipped with air conditioning or freezer facility.

So my short description @boboho about oyster mushroom cultivation techniques that can be made a new business opportunity. Before doing so, it's good to learn in detail and do not be easily rushed.
