[0002] The grassland yellow mushroom, scientifically known as *Trichophyton rubrum*, is an important edible mycorrhizal fungus widely distributed in the alpine meadows of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

[0003] Currently, in order to cultivate yellow-green curly mushrooms artificially, the spores are collected in time when they are produced. The existing method of collecting yellow-green curly mushroom spores is mostly to have staff use a brush to sweep the spores off the surface of the mushroom cap. However, this method is too cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to cause the spores to fly away and be wasted.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a spore collector for *Pleurotus eryngii*. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model discloses a mushroom spore collector for yellow-green curly hair mushrooms, which aims to solve the technical problems that existing mushroom spore collection methods are too cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and have unsatisfactory collection results.
