[0025] Collection mechanism 3 is set on the main frame 1 and is used to collect and transport the harvested mushrooms.

[0026] The top of the main frame 1 is fixedly connected to the picking mechanism 2. When the device is picking, the operator adjusts the picking position of the device by controlling the support arm 203 and the extension arm 205, and picks the mushrooms by the picking rod 206 and the picking claw 207. At the same time, the mushrooms are placed in the collection chamber 301 for collection by rotating the connecting plate 201, which improves the picking efficiency of the device. When the device is picking, the device can pick and collect the mushrooms through the collection chamber 301. In addition, the device can be quickly assembled and disassembled by the fixed crossbeam 307 and the mounting plate 308, which improves the convenience of the device.
