TERMS of OYSTER MUSHROOM GROWING


   As a saprophyte, oyster mushrooms using a carbon source derived from organic material to be broken down into simple carbon compounds are then absorbed into the mushroom mycelium, Traffic describe these organic compounds can cause mold to grow on many-a material containing carbohydrates or other organic carbon compounds, carbon source can be absorbed into the cell are soluble compounds such as monosaccharide  nature or  similar compound sugars, organic acids, amino acids and other simple compounds.

    Many mineral elements required for yeast nutrition is reflected in the levels of these elements are contained in mycelium or mushroom fruit bodies, is by multiplying the levels of heavy elements with the fungus known to many mineral elements are absorbed by the fungus, thus the elements are actually just moved and converted from the planting medium into yeast cells, by knowing the amount of mineral that is absorbed, it can be estimated the amount of mineral elements that must exist in the planting medium, assuming of course not one hundred percent of the element in the growing media can absorbed by mycelium vegetative

    Mycelium and fruit body can develop in lignoselulosa containing material, with the ratio C / N 50-500, examples of the various materials that have value C / N high is sawn wood, bagasse, corn stalks and cobs, straw, husks, reeds, paper, timber, waste pieces of wood, leather nuts, while examples of materials that have value C / N is relatively low is rice bran, vegetable waste, sewage sludge sugar mills, pulp coconut / palm oil, beans dregs, dregs out.

    When the question arises about the most within their growing media for oyster mushroom growing oyster mushrooms then the answer is to be adapted in quite a variety of media conditions because it is saprophyte, but media should consider the use of growth requirements, as an example of a question whether the sawn hardwood sawdust used? The answer is they can, hardwood but on lignin content is high, whereas lignin is more difficult for an overhaul than selulosa that can inhibit the growth of mold, fungus growth in order to keep it going well, the material of hardwood planting medium should be added to the high cellulose-containing materials and materials has a ratio C / N as low as bran, coconut pulp, or pulp out
