If the humidity is too high, the heater 324 raises the temperature a little to reduce the humidity inside the tank body 1. When the pH value of the fermentation broth is higher than the set value, the ACID pump 422 is started, and an appropriate amount of acid (such as hydrochloric acid) is added to the fermentation medium 313 through the first infusion pipe 423 to reduce the pH value to the set range. On the contrary, when the pH value of the fermentation broth is lower than the set value, the BASE pump 426 is started, and an appropriate amount of alkali (such as sodium hydroxide) is added to the fermentation medium 313 through the second infusion pipe 424 to increase the pH value to the set range. During the mycelium growth period of the Lentinula edodes strain, the appropriate pH range is 5.5 - 6.5, while in the fruiting body formation stage, the appropriate pH range is 6.5 - 7.5.
