Hello friend steemit how are you guys, in my first post this, i will share photos and mushroom cultivation process

If you want to build a business of oyster mushroom cultivation, investment funds can be fairly affordable and you can do step by step. The most difficult process is making baglog, which is planting media that must diidiinokulaikan along with seeds of mushrooms

There are several ways of oyster mushroom cultivation that we can pass, divided into 3 namely:

Provide kumbung
Provide baglog
Caring for the baglog
harvesting mushrooms
For more details please read the explanation of each way of oyster mushroom cultivation.

Prepare the Kumbung

Kumbung or people generally call it mushroom house is a medium for baglog treatment and growth of mushrooms. In general, Kumbung is a building in which there are shelves as a baglog place. The granary should have the ability to adapt so that the temperature and humidity are always maintained.

The kumbung material itself comes from wood or bamboo, and the wall of kumbung generally comes from the board or gedek and the roof comes from shingles or tile. It is better not to wear or zinc or asbestos, because the roof can cause the temperature inside the kumbung to heat. While for the floor enough land, so that later can absorb water when mushrooms again watered.

In the kumbung there should also be a rack of lattice and made with storied. The shelf is useful for compiling a baglog. Rack frames are made from kawyu or bamboo. The laying of the shelves must also be lined up between one rack with another shelf and separated by aisle hallway to lighten us after doing the treatment.

The space between shelves should have the smallest height is 40 cm, otherwise the rack rate can be made 2 to 3 levels.

It is better that the rack has a width of approximately 40 cm and length for each rus of rack that is 1 meter. That way the standard size can be to accommodate 70 to 80 baglog. You can vary the shelf for the number of baglogs that you want to cultivate.

Provide Baglog

Baglog generally wrapped with a plastic cylinder shape, then one of the two ends are made holes. That way the oyster mushroom will grow out through the hole.

Usually they are cultivating oyster mushrooms if you want to enter a large scale, it will create a baglog itself. However, for those of us who are new to the beginning and just have insufficient capital is recommended to buy baglog from others, then we just focus on the cultivation of this oyster mushroom.

Caring for Baglog

There are several indicators that we can consider when trying to harvest oyster mushrooms, some of which is the surface of the fungus is completely covered by mycelium. mushrooms are blooming and visible enlarged.

the edges are already tapered, the hood has not broken yet the color is still white.

What you need to note is that if the harvest time has passed half a day, the color of the oyster mushroom turned into brownish yellow and tudungnya broke.

If you have this, the mushrooms will quickly wilt and will not last long. It should be noted that in the process of harvesting must be on schedule. The first harvest distance to the next harvest ranges from 2-3 weeks.
