The following specific embodiments can be combined or replaced with each other according to actual conditions, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model provides an edible fungus cultivation bottle and a bottle cap 2 with air intake from the bottom, which is used to cover the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1. The bottle cap 2 includes an upper cover 21, a lower cover 22 and an air filter 23. The bottom surface of the lower cover 22 is provided with a second air vent 222 located within the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1 and a first air vent 221 located outside the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1. The upper cover 21 is covered on the lower cover 22 to form a sealed cavity 223 between the lower cover 22 and the upper cover 21. The second air vent 222 is communicated with the sealed cavity 223. The first air vent 221 and the second air vent 222 form an air flow path for exchanging air in the bottle body 1 with air from the outside. The air filter 23 is located on the air flow path.

[0027] The utility model is provided with a first air vent 221 and a second air vent 222 on the bottom surface of the lower cover 22. When the upper cover 21 is covered on the lower cover 22, a sealed cavity 223 is formed between the lower cover 22 and the upper cover 21. At this time, the sealed cavity 223 is communicated with the outside air through the first air vent 221 located outside the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1. The first air vent 221 is communicated with the air in the bottle body 1. The air filter 23 is arranged in the sealed cavity 223 and is located on the air flow path of the first air vent 221 and the second air vent 222. The first air hole 221 and the second air hole 222 connect the sealed cavity 223 with the outside air and the air in the bottle body 1, ensuring sufficient air supply in the bottle, helping to maintain air pressure balance, and providing a good air environment for the growth of edible fungus culture medium and aerial mycelium. On the one hand, the air filter 23 filters the air entering the bottle, removes impurities, dust, bacteria and other harmful substances, creates clean growth conditions for edible fungus culture medium and aerial mycelium, and reduces the risk of diseases and pests; on the other hand, it regulates the air humidity to a certain extent, so that the humidity in the bottle is maintained within a range suitable for the growth of edible fungi, further promotes the good growth of edible fungus culture medium and aerial mycelium, and solves the problem of using traditional plastic bags as culture bottles, low air exchange efficiency, and inability to achieve air filtration.

[0028] The first air vent 221 of the present invention, which is connected to the outside world, is located on the bottom surface of the lower cover 22, that is, air exchange is achieved from the bottom of the lower cover 22. The bottom air intake method can perform air filtration, and dust and bacteria heavier than air will sink due to gravity, and will not enter the sealed cavity 223 from the first air intake hole at the bottom, thereby achieving preliminary air filtration and reducing the threat of pollution to the edible fungus culture medium and aerial mycelium. Again, the air intake method from the bottom of the lower cover 22 can effectively prevent water from invading the bottle body 1, further ensuring that the culture medium in the bottle body 1 will not be contaminated, and at the same time provide optimized air circulation, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the edible fungus culture medium and aerial mycelium, and solves the problem of traditional plastic bags being used as culture bottles, and there being a lot of dust and bacteria in the air when exchanging air, which leads to contamination of the cultured mushrooms.

[0029] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower cover 22 is a cylindrical cover body, and a lower surrounding ring 224 extending downward is provided on the bottom surface of the lower cover 22. The lower surrounding ring 224 is connected to the bottle body 1 and wraps the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1 to prevent dust, bacteria and water from seeping into the bottle body 1 from the bottle mouth, thereby ensuring the safety of the environment inside the bottle body 1. The lower surrounding ring 224 divides the bottom surface of the lower cover 22 into an inner bottom surface 2241 and an outer bottom surface 2244. The inner bottom surface 2241 is used to abut against the bottle mouth. The lower surrounding ring 224 can also ensure that when the bottle cap 2 is not in use, the inner bottom surface 2241 remains clean and is not contaminated. The lower surrounding ring 224 separates the first air vent 221 from the bottle mouth, so that Air can enter the sealed cavity 223 from the bottom of the first air vent 221, realizing air exchange by taking in air through the bottom of the bottle cap 2. The upper surface of the lower cover 22 is provided with an upper ring 225 extending upward, and the upper surface of the lower cover 22 forms an inner top surface 2251. The upper ring 225 ensures that when the bottle cap 2 is not in use, the upper surface of the lower cover 22 will not touch objects and will not be contaminated. The outer bottom surface 2244 is within the range of the inner top surface 2251. The first air vent 221 is provided on the inner bottom surface 2241, and the second air vent 222 is provided with the outer bottom surface 2244.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, a partition piece 226 is provided between the first air vent 221 and the second air vent 222, and a third air vent 2261 is provided on the partition piece 226; the partition piece 226 is a circular partition piece 226, and the partition piece 226 is used to separate the first air vent 221 and the second air vent 222, and also plays a role in blocking dust and bacteria in the air. Dust and bacteria in the air will be blocked by the partition piece 226 which is higher than the first air vent 221 and the second air vent 222, and fall into the clamping groove formed by the partition piece 226 and the upper ring 225. In order to ensure that air exchange can be carried out between the first air vent 221 and the second air vent 222, a third air vent 2261 is opened at the upper end of the partition piece 226 for air circulation.

[0031] At the same time, the partition piece 226 can also limit and guide the air filter 23. The air filter 23 is placed in the partition piece 226, which can reduce shaking and ensure the sealing of the air filter 23. The air filter 23 uses synthetic fiber filter cotton, non-woven filter cotton or filter cotton that is commonly used to block dust particles and has air permeability.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner bottom surface 2241 is provided with a first protrusion 2242 extending downward, and the lower cover 22 is covered on the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1. The first protrusion 2242 is accommodated in the bottle body 1 and is adjacent to the culture medium in the bottle body 1; it is used to inhibit the growth of aerial hyphae, reduce aging mushroom blocks, and eliminate the scratching process.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing rib 2243 is provided in the first protrusion 2242; the reinforcing rib 2243 is used to prevent the lower cover 22 from deforming, and at the same time can also support the air filter 23 to prevent the air filter 23 from collapsing and causing poor sealing.

[0034] An edible fungus cultivation bottle, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a bottle body 1 and a bottle cap 2. The culture medium is filled into the bottle body 1. The bottle body 1 protects the culture medium and provides a growth environment for aerial hyphae. The bottle cap 2 is a bottle cap 2 for air intake from the bottom.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, a card platform is provided on the outside of the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1, and a hook is provided on the inner wall of the lower panel of the lower cover 22. The card platform cooperates with the hook to ensure the stability of the connection between the lower cover 22 and the bottle body 1. The outer side of the upper cover 21 is provided with a hook identical to the lower cover 22, and the upper panel of the lower cover 22 is provided with a card platform identical to the bottle body 1. Similarly, the cooperation between the card platform and the hook can ensure the stability of the connection between the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22, and at the same time achieve a sealing effect.
