[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information relating to this disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] In the field of edible fungi cultivation, the following technical bottlenecks exist for whole-fruit fruiting fungi (such as shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, and white fungus) and varieties that require turning over the mushroom bags (such as silver ear fungus and monkey head mushrooms):
[0004] (1) Traditional mushroom growing racks are equipped with wooden boards or beams, which can stably place the mushroom bags, but the mushroom bags are blocked on all sides, resulting in uneven ventilation and light, making it difficult to achieve uniform mushroom growth.
[0005] (2) Mushrooms such as silver ear fungus and monkey head mushrooms need to be turned inside out at a specific time. They are usually grown on hollow shelves. However, hollow shelves are unstable and often collapse, causing significant losses to production.
[0006] (3) For edible fungi that grow mushrooms all over their bodies, such as shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, and jade fungus, mushrooms are usually grown by placing them on the ground. This method takes up a large area and requires a lot of manpower for mushroom management. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a mushroom growing rack suitable for uniform mushroom growth around the entire mushroom bag. This rack enhances the stability of the mushroom bag, preventing it from falling off, while also providing good ventilation, which is conducive to uniform mushroom growth around the entire mushroom bag, thereby improving space utilization and the efficiency of mushroom management.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] A mushroom growing rack suitable for mushrooms growing all over the body includes a metal frame and mushroom bag support rods (3). The mushroom bag support rods (3) are connected between the metal frames. The metal frame is cuboid in shape and consists of vertical columns (1) and horizontal crossbars (2).

[0012] Furthermore, the mushroom bag support rod (3) includes a support rod body and a receiving platform (4), the receiving platform (4) is fixed on the support rod body, and the receiving platform (4) is an open U-shaped groove structure.
[0013] Furthermore, the receiving platform (4) is made of bent metal wire, and multiple receiving platforms are fixed on each of the support rods.
[0014] Furthermore, the metal frame has a column (1) with a length of 170cm, a crossbar (2) with a length of 240cm, and a spacing of 21.25cm between two adjacent mushroom bag support rods.
[0015] Furthermore, four directional wheels (5) are installed at the bottom of the metal frame, and the directional wheels (5) are evenly distributed at the four bottom corners of the metal frame.
[0016] Furthermore, the mushroom bag support rod is fixed to the upright (1) and crossbar (2) of the metal frame by welding.
[0017] Furthermore, the opening direction of the receiving platform is consistent with the extension direction of the mushroom bag support rod, and the groove depth of the receiving platform is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the diameter of the mushroom bag.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the mushroom growing rack suitable for all-around mushroom growth provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0031] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0032] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0033] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] In one typical embodiment of this application, a suitable mushroom growing rack for edible fungi with fruiting throughout the entire plant is provided, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, a mushroom growing rack suitable for mushrooms growing all over the body includes a metal frame and mushroom bag support rods (3). The mushroom bag support rods (3) are connected between the metal frames. The metal frame is cuboid in shape and consists of vertical columns (1) and horizontal crossbars (2).
[0036] A rectangular frame provides the basic support structure, ensuring the overall load-bearing capacity of the shelving.
[0037] The metal frame has a central column between the two columns on the left and right sides, and the central column is connected to any two or more horizontal bars in the horizontal direction through a cross structure.
[0038] The intersections are connected by welding to ensure a rigid connection between the columns and crossbars, preventing the structure from loosening due to external forces.
[0039] Stability Enhancement Principle: The cross-shaped structure distributes vertical loads (such as the weight of the mushroom bags) to the uprights and crossbars on both sides through the intersection nodes, reducing stress concentration at single points and lowering the risk of frame deformation. Through the symmetrical cross-shaped structure on both sides, the metal frame forms a closed support network, significantly improving overall torsional resistance. The cross-fixation of the uprights and crossbars enhances the frame's lateral and longitudinal resistance to deformation. This significantly improves shelf stability, avoiding the risk of shelf collapse due to uneven weight distribution or movement of the mushroom bags, making it particularly suitable for high-density load-bearing scenarios.
[0040] The support rods for the mushroom bags are set on the front and back sides and the middle column of the metal frame, forming a multi-layered space. Each layer can hold two rows of mushroom bags. By using a double-row layout (two rows of mushroom bags per layer), the density of mushroom bags is increased within a limited horizontal space, while ensuring that there are ventilation gaps between the front and back rows of mushroom bags to avoid mutual obstruction, so that air and light can evenly cover all sides of the mushroom bags.
[0041] The mushroom bag placement area is divided by multiple support rods, and each layer can accommodate two rows of mushroom bags.
[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the mushroom bag support rod (3) includes a support rod body and a receiving platform (4). The receiving platform (4) is fixed on the support rod body and has an open U-shaped groove structure. The opening direction of the U-shaped groove is consistent with the extension direction of the support rod, ensuring that the mushroom bag is placed horizontally and stably. The groove depth (1 / 3-1 / 2 of the mushroom bag diameter) provides sufficient wrapping force to prevent the mushroom bag from slipping off. At the same time, the open structure allows the bottom and sides of the mushroom bag to be directly exposed to the environment, promoting fruiting all over the body.
[0043] The receiving platform (4) is made of bent metal wire with a diameter of 5.0 mm, and 12 receiving platforms are fixed on each support rod. The metal wire with a diameter of 5.0 mm takes into account both load-bearing strength and lightweight, so as to avoid the overall weight of the shelf being too heavy; the even distribution of 12 receiving platforms on each support rod ensures that the spacing between the mushroom bags is consistent, avoiding local crowding that leads to poor ventilation, while increasing the capacity of a single layer of mushroom bags.
[0044] The metal frame has a column (1) with a length of 170cm and a crossbar (2) with a length of 240cm. The spacing between two adjacent support rods for the mushroom bags is 21.25cm. The column height of 170cm is suitable for human operation height (avoiding bending over or climbing), and the crossbar length of 240cm matches the width of the conventional planting area. The spacing between the support rods of 21.25cm is calculated mathematically: 170cm crossbar length ÷ (7 layers of mushroom bags + 1 bottom layer) = 21.25cm. This height can ensure sufficient vertical growth space for the mushroom bags and unobstructed ventilation channels between layers.
[0045] The standardized size design (170cm×240cm) fits conventional planting spaces, facilitating mass production and layout planning, while providing a stable foundation for the uniform distribution of multiple layers of mushroom bags. The reasonable spacing (21.25cm) ensures that the bags do not obstruct each other during growth, while fully utilizing vertical space, increasing the capacity of mushroom bags per unit area several times over and significantly improving planting density.
[0046] Four directional wheels (5) are installed at the bottom of the metal frame, and the directional wheels (5) are evenly distributed at the four bottom corners of the metal frame. The symmetrical distribution of the directional wheels at the four corners provides stable support and prevents the shelf from tilting when it moves; the number (4) of wheels and their position design make the shelf bear the force evenly, which is convenient for flexible movement in multiple directions, while reducing the friction resistance of the ground.
[0047] The shelves can be moved and positioned flexibly using directional wheels (5). This allows for easy adjustment of the shelf positions according to the growth stages of fungi, optimizing lighting and ventilation zones; and thorough cleaning of the floor after movement reduces the risk of contamination by other fungi, thus improving management efficiency.
[0048] The mushroom bag support rods are fixed to the uprights (1) and crossbars (2) of the metal frame by welding. Welding ensures long-term stability of the connection and is suitable for fixed installation scenarios.
[0049] The opening direction of the receiving platform is consistent with the extension direction of the mushroom bag support rod, and the groove depth of the receiving platform is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the mushroom bag diameter. The groove depth range (1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the mushroom bag diameter) has been experimentally verified to provide sufficient support to prevent the mushroom bag from rolling, while avoiding excessive depth that would obstruct ventilation at the bottom of the mushroom bag, thus balancing the requirements of stability and breathability.
[0050] The U-shaped groove securely holds the mushroom bag, with the groove opening aligned with the extension direction of the support rod. The groove depth is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the bag's diameter. The open design exposes all sides of the bag to the environment, promoting air circulation and even light coverage, which is beneficial for fruiting from all sides. The bent wire structure is lightweight and durable, and the groove depth is adapted to the bag size to prevent slippage.
[0051] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0052] When using it, place the horizontal mushroom bags of oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc., into the open U-shaped groove receiving platform made of 5.0mm diameter metal wire. The staff sprays water regularly. The directional wheels can be rotated to move and adjust the light, ventilation, and cleaning and maintenance to achieve mushroom growth all over the mushroom.
[0053] In the description of this specification, the terms "connection", "installation", "fixing", "setting", etc. are interpreted in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate component without affecting the relationship between components and the technical effect. It can also be an integral connection or a partial connection. In such cases, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model or utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
