Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible fungi cultivation technology using soil covering, and specifically to an edible fungi cultivation box. Background Technology
[0002] Edible fungi are large, edible mushrooms (macrofungi). They generally refer to fungi that can form large or visible fruiting bodies that are edible. They are delicious and nutritious, rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, and are a common and delicious ingredient on people's tables.
[0003] In recent years, the global edible fungi industry has been expanding. China is a major producer and consumer of edible fungi, accounting for the vast majority of the world's total output. The edible fungi industry occupies an important position in the agricultural economy, playing a positive role in increasing farmers' income and rural revitalization. Many regions have developed complete industrial chains through the cultivation of edible fungi, including strain cultivation, raw material supply, planting and production, product processing, and sales.
[0004] Morel mushrooms, a rare edible fungus, possess a unique flavor and extremely high nutritional value, holding an important position within the edible fungus family. Their caps are stomach-shaped or spherical, with irregular pits on the surface, and are brown, dark brown, or tan in color. The stems are relatively thick, nearly cylindrical, or slightly swollen towards the base, white or pale yellow, and soft or hollow inside. Morel mushrooms mostly grow in the mountainous forests of Yunnan, Sichuan, and other provinces, thriving in slightly acidic or neutral soils. They have a narrow growth temperature range and require specific ventilation and humidity levels.
[0005] During the growth stages of edible fungi (morels), the mycelium is just beginning to germinate and grows relatively slowly, with a low demand for oxygen. At this stage, ventilation should not be too high to prevent the surface of the culture medium from becoming too dry. As the mycelium grows and its metabolism accelerates, its oxygen demand increases, requiring a suitable increase in ventilation to ensure oxygen supply and promote mycelial growth. Once mycelial growth is basically stable, the oxygen content in the culture medium may decrease due to the large amount of oxygen consumed by the mycelium. At this point, a certain amount of ventilation is needed to maintain a suitable oxygen concentration and prevent poor mycelial growth due to lack of oxygen. However, the existing ventilation area is fixed, making it difficult to control the ventilation volume, which seriously affects the normal growth of edible fungi.
[0006] Meanwhile, edible fungi such as morels and king oyster mushrooms have unique aromas, and pests such as mushroom gnats and flies are very serious during the mycelium growth and fruiting periods. Therefore, pest prevention and control should be fully considered during cultivation and management.
[0007] Therefore, there is a need for an edible fungus cultivation box that can control the microenvironment inside the box. Utility Model Content
