Evening visit to give the fruiting bags some misting.. 5th month as a mushroom farmer. Made a lot of mistakes but learning.

10/11/2020

Source of daily protein comes from my growing house. The FB love the cold weather they produce regular shrooms.
Documenting is part of my learning process of mushroom farming. I noticed that with regular scraping of a few cms off the top makes it easier for the pinhead to pop out. Yield however is not that much, majority doesn't grow as big like the first flushes.

Lesson 5 : Activity Chart
OYSTER
"GH Care & Fruiting Stage Activity to maximize the Biological Effeciency of your Substrate"

1. Rule of thumb:
Higher biological effeciency (Yield of Produce) of your substrate depends on substrate preparation: (composting, raw materials used, duration of composting, added nutrients like innoculants such as IMO, EM1, FPJ, FAA, FFJ and other boosters, proper growth parameters are strickly adhered to)
2. Proper Care of your Fruiting Bags within its entire life cycle will entail higher yield

Charted Daily Activities

1. 1st Month

A. Disinfect your Growing house 3 times a week before hanging the fully ramified FBs
B. Hang fully Ramified fruiting bags
C. Disinfect for the last time GH with hanged FB and closed the GH for a couple of hour
D. Cold shock or mist spray all fruiting bags, GH walls and floor

First 5 days :
Mist spray Cold water to achieve pinhead formation temperature of 25 C or lower
And when pins are on its 2nd day maintain 25-27 degree celcius and 75-90% relative Humidity inside the growing house.

6 th to 19th days :
Mist the front sides of FBs 2-4x a day (when temperature is hot) and 1-2 times a day when temperature is Cold)
25th day :
After 2 to 3 flushings of fruits, cut the front sides of the plastic covering mouth 2 inches from the substrate of the FB
26 to 30th day : Mist 2-3x a day after harvest and strickly follow required temperature of 26 to 27C

2nd Month
On this stage, your homemade Booster will be needed and will come handy to improve yield
1. Slit or slash the backside of the Fbs
2. cold shock or mist spray all fbags (front and back sides)
The reason why we should mist spray the backside as well as the front side is because mycelia has already covered the whole walls of the substrate and the moist from the misting activity will no longer be able to pe*****te the substrates inside the mycelia walled substrate.
3. Scrape the front sides at least an inch thick and refresh the back side substrate by misting it with booster

Schedule of per Day/Days

A. First 2 days day:
Dont mist the front side
First 5 days days: Do not mist back side of the FBs
6 days onward the end of the month:
Mist 2-3x a day and adhere to required growth parameters of the mushroom,constantly water the walls and floor ro achieve the right humidity required

Mist spray FB with your Homemade boosters every after harvest

On the 3rd Month: just repeat the process from treatment to misting and always meet the required growth parameters of the mushroom

Note:
The above mentioned lesson is a standard form of activities and is applied only case to case basis.
Areas that are situated in Cold Zones, their activity chart is totally different from this

Always remember to consider these 5 factors
1. Temperature
2. Humidity
3. Lighting of GH
4. Proper gas exchanges
5. Space management (congestion problem?

Here’s another dish we came up with that you can try too: sauteed white oyster mushrooms with green peas and malunggay! It's a complete food in itself! No need for rice! Yumm!!! 😋😋😋
Sa panahon ngayon na napakaimportanteng palakasin ang ating kalusugan at immune system, dishes like this is very helpful!

Scrapping the 4 month old fruiting bags last week paid off as it made ways for lots of pin heads to pop out.. Striving to learn why there are some that didn't make it past pin heads as some dried off, it could possibly mean there's a need for more moisture. The roofing of the growing house is galva iron and low, which meant heat is getting into the house.

Mushroom farming needs a lot of patience, being observant and some trial and error. Not much work ( except in hanging them) but time must be alloted every day, 2 to 3x a day. What's beautiful is the produce they give daily. ❤️

My daily routine is checking on my bags' development. Before leaving in the morning to harvest and give them a sq**rt and evening to praise them, give them some cleaning.

Is mushroom bad for those with gout? This article says not .

There is no evidence that a vegetable or mushroom with a modest amount of purine will raise uric acid levels and trigger a gout attack
