Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an improved method of artificially cultivating mushrooms, particularly a method of cultivating mushrooms using artificial mushrooms as a fungal bed. For details, in order to enable mass production of mushrooms using artificial Hoda wood, the artificial Hoda wood as a fungus bed is appropriately supplied with the moisture necessary for mushroom growth to avoid damaging the quality of the mushrooms. This invention relates to a method of cultivating mushrooms and an apparatus used in the cultivation method.

[Conventional technology]

When cultivating various types of mushrooms, seed fungi of the mushroom to be cultivated are inoculated into a fungal bed, and the fungi are cultured in the fungal bed to generate the desired mushrooms. In general, as a fungal bed for culturing mycolia, there are two methods: using logs as they are, two methods using artificial wood made by mixing sawdust, wood chips, etc. with rice bran, etc., and other methods using materials such as sawdust, rice bran, etc. There are methods such as packing it into a plastic bag or bottle without solidifying it.

In the method of using raw wood as a fungal bed, in order to store the moisture necessary during the mushroom growth process, the raw wood is soaked in water in advance to absorb sufficient moisture, and during the mushroom growth period, the raw wood is soaked in water. Store in a humid place in the shade to prevent moisture from drying out.

On the other hand, artificially created fungal beds are made by mixing sawdust from broad-leaved trees, rice bran, and water, killing any germs attached to these materials in a steam-pressure cooker, cooling the material in a sterile state, and then inoculating it with starter bacteria. It can be obtained by

For this reason, in the artificial fungal bed, only an appropriate amount of water is added to the fungal bed according to the activity of the mycelium against sawdust and rice bran, and during the 70 to 90 day culture period of the mycelium, - Since the water is not refilled,
At the point when mushrooms begin to develop after mycelium has been cultured, they are in a state where they need to be rehydrated.

Therefore, in such a cultivation method using an artificial fungal bed, water is supplied to the fungal bed at a stage before mushrooms emerge, but in the case of artificial mushrooms, the fungal bed rod material is filled with glue, for example. Although it is solidified into a rod shape, it is a solidified powdered raw material, so if it is immersed in water like raw wood, it will absorb too much water and lose its shape. In addition, if it is packed in a bag or bottle, water can only be supplied to the exposed surface of the bacterial bed. Therefore, the conventional method of replenishing water to artificial bacterial beds, whether in the case of artificial wood or in bags or bottles, is to add water from the tap to the surface of the bacterial bed in a shower-like manner. .

However, with this method of replenishing moisture using shower water, even if water can be supplied to the surface of the fungal bed, it is not possible to sufficiently replenish moisture to the inner depths of the fungus bed, and it is also difficult to replenish moisture to the inner depths of the mushroom bed. This may be fine at the stage, but once the mushrooms have emerged from the nursery surface, unnecessary moisture will be directly attached to the immature mushrooms (fruiting bodies) that remain after the grown mushrooms are collected, so the mushrooms will not be able to grow properly. It has the problem of discoloration and corrosion during the process, resulting in a decline in quality and freshness.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

As mentioned above, the artificial fungal bed grows from the fungal bed surface (during the process of collecting mushrooms, it is often necessary to replenish the moisture that is essential for the growth of mushrooms, but it is not necessary to actually replenish the moisture). It can be said that the mushrooms growing on the surface of the fungal bed are not woody bodies, but are inside the fungal bed body.

The present invention solves the technical problem of water supply when cultivating mushrooms in mass production using artificial mushroom beds fixed in the form of rods among the above-mentioned artificial fungus beds. Rather than directly attaching water to the fruiting bodies on the surface of the fungal bed by adding water in a shower-like manner to the surface of the fungal bed, by supplying an appropriate amount of water only to the body facing the fungal bed, the fungal bed can be maintained at a predetermined level. The purpose of this method is to allow the mushrooms that appear one after another to grow without coming into contact with water over the period that they retain their cultivation ability, so that high-quality mushrooms can be harvested.

Specifically, the present invention involves arranging a large number of artificial trees vertically on the beams of a frame at appropriate intervals, and supplying water with nozzles supported by the frame above the artificial trees. The present invention is characterized in that an appropriate amount of water can be supplied in a dripping state as necessary to the upper end surface of each artificial hoda tree using a pipe.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a partial front view and FIG. 2 is a side view of a tree support frame used to carry out the cultivation method according to the present invention. The pedestal 1 consists of support columns 2 on both sides and beam members 3 installed between these support columns 2 in multiple stages.

The vertical interval H between each beam 3 is set in advance according to the length of the artificial wood 4, and the distance between each beam 3
The length of is set to such a length that a large number of artificial Hoda trees 4 can be arranged vertically at appropriate intervals.

A seat 5 is provided on each beam 3 to place and support the lower end surface of the artificial wood 4.

In this embodiment, these receivers 5 consist of saucers 6 larger than the outer diameter of the artificial tree 4, and the inside of the tray 6 is provided with one or more trays for piercing the lower end surface of the artificial tree 4 on the upper surface. It has two real pins 7, and a pivot 9 in the center of the lower surface.
A rotary seat 8 having a rotary seat 8 is arranged so as to be rotatable by a pot holder 10 provided at the center of the saucer 6.

Further, above each seat 5 that supports each artificial tree 4, water supply pipes 12 are branched from water pipes 11 piped along the pillars 2 so as to be parallel to the respective beams 3. On the lower surface of each water supply pipe 12, a small-diameter nozzle 13 is provided, which can supply an appropriate amount of water to a position corresponding to the upper end surface 4a of the artificial tree 4 on each lower seat 5. Note that a valve 14 for supplying and shutting off water to each water supply pipe 12 is provided in the water conduit pipe 11 from which each water supply pipe 12 branches.

The artificial hoda trees 4, which have reached the stage of waiting for mushrooms to develop after a predetermined mycobacterial culture period, are vertically erected on the seats 5 of the pedestal 1 with their lower end surfaces pierced by seed pins 7. It is supported so that After all the artificial Hoda trees 4 are supported in this way, the respective valves 14 in the water conduit pipes 11 are opened for an appropriate time, and an appropriate amount of water is poured from the nozzle 13 of the water supply pipe 12 onto the upper end surface 4a of each Hoda tree 4. supply The water is preferably supplied in droplets rather than in a stream. In addition, at the stage before mushrooms develop, the water droplets are relatively rapid and absorb enough water so that the mushroom bed, which serves as the fungal bed, can replenish moisture. At the stage of hydration corresponding to the dry state of each fungal bed after mushrooms have emerged from the outer circumferential surface of the mushrooms, water is gradually dripped from the upper end surface 4a of the mushroom bed to the inner depths by slowly dropping water droplets. It is preferable to prevent unnecessary moisture from adhering to the mushrooms growing on the outer peripheral surface.

As described above, in the mushroom cultivation method according to the present invention, water is supplied by dripping water droplets from the upper end surface of a large number of artificial mushroom trees set up on a pedestal. Unlike the shower-like hydration method for artificial Hoda trees, water does not directly fall on the mushrooms and fruiting bodies growing on the outer circumferential surface 4b of the artificial Hoda tree, which serves as a fungal bed surface. Capable of slowly penetrating and absorbing large amounts of water.

Furthermore, when using this method, even if a large amount of water temporarily flows down from the nozzle 13 in a flow state that exceeds the state of water droplets, the water flows downward along the outer circumferential surface of the artificial tree 4 and the mushroom itself It is stored in the saucer 6 without getting it wet. The saucer 6 is provided with a rotary seat 8 that pierces and supports the lower end of the artificial tree 4 so as to be rotatable relative to the saucer 6, so that the water stored in the saucer 6 can pierce and support the lower end of the artificial tree 4. The harmful effects of direct immersion can be avoided.

Therefore, by using the cultivation method and its device according to the present invention, water can be appropriately supplied during the cultivation period when the fungal bed maintains a predetermined effective capacity, and the number of lives of the fungal bed can be effectively utilized, and the mushrooms generated can be Since the mushrooms can be grown and collected without coming into contact with water, it is possible to expect mass production of high-quality mushrooms.

Although the present invention is suitable for cultivating mushrooms using artificial wood, it can also be used to grow mushrooms using conventional logs, not just artificial wood, if necessary.
