[0038] A cultivation method using the aforementioned apparatus includes a cultivation method comprising the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: Incubation stage, the incubation spawn is placed inside the cultivation device and fixed in place. The incubation spawn can fill the inside of the spawn bag to form a column that is movable inside the cultivation device. After placement, a suitable environment is provided for the cultivation of the incubation spawn.

[0040] Step 2: Rotation stage. While the inoculum is being cultivated inside the incubation device, it is slowly rotated. This slow rotation, in conjunction with the nozzles and lighting, provides the necessary humidity and temperature, ensuring that the inoculum in different locations can be fully humidified and heated.

[0041] Step 3: Environmental adjustment stage. During the culture process, the temperature and humidity inside the incubator are controlled by a thermometer and a hygrometer. In addition, the ventilation device on the culture device can provide ventilation to provide suitable oxygen for the culture.

[0042] Step 4: Remove the edible fungi. While the spawn is being cultivated inside the bag, the edible fungi can grow out of the bag. When the production reaches the usage conditions, the edible fungi can be removed.

[0043] Step 5: Spawn Removal Stage. After the spawn cultivation is completed, the spawn bags are removed from the cultivation device for easier subsequent operations.

[0044] When using the device, the inoculum is filled into the mushroom bag 37, which is cylindrical and installed inside the fixing component 18. During installation, the door 2 is opened and the support plate 25 is pulled outwards. As the support plate 25 is pulled outwards, the connecting column 36 moves inside the fixing tube 23, expanding the space between the support plate 25, the movable plate 22, and the rotating plate 20. One end of the mushroom bag 37 is then inserted into the limiting tube 31. The limiting tube 31 provides limiting support for the mushroom bag 37. Subsequently, the limiting tube 31 and the through hole 26 cooperate to ventilate the inside of the mushroom bag 37. Then, the support plate 25 is released. After the support plate 25 loses its tension, the pulling mechanism 35 drives the support column 24 to move towards the fixing tube 23. Under the push of the support plate 25, one end of the mushroom bag 37 is inserted into the limiting tube. Limiting is performed on column 28. After each individual mushroom bag 37 is installed inside the support plate 25, the box door 2 is closed. After closing the box door 2, the displacement mechanism 13 is activated to push the slider 33 to slide and adjust inside the slide groove 21, so that the upper and lower positions of the support plate 25 are staggered left and right to avoid the mushroom bags 37 overlapping. The lighting mechanism 39 is activated to provide lighting and temperature. The water pump sprays the liquid inside the water tank 8 onto the mushroom bags 37 through the nozzle 40. At the same time as spraying, the power mechanism 12 is activated to drive the drive wheel 29 to rotate. The drive wheel 29 drives the belt 30 to rotate. The belt 30 drives the movable wheel 33 to rotate under the support of the driven wheel 38. When the movable wheel 33 rotates, it drives the mushroom bags 37 to rotate. When the mushroom bags 37 rotate, the inoculum at different positions can be heated and humidified, which facilitates the rapid cultivation of inoculum.
