Get wheat or rice husks and How do you construct a mushroom house?
•Get wheat or rice husks and ensure they are clean. ● Cut them into pieces and soak in water for 4-6 hours ● Remove to drain excess water. ● Mix the substrate with bran to provide nutrients for your mushroom. ● Pack the mixture in special clear bags meant for growing mushroom ● Tie the ‘mouth’ of the bag and leave a small hole where you will put your spawn (seed) ● Sterilize the bags using steam for 4 hours. ● Maintain proper hygiene as you plant the seed. ● Put the planted bags in a dark room for incubation. ● This takes 30 days and the whole paper turns white (colonization). ● During incubation maintain a temperature of 25-27 degrees Celsius ● After 30 days remove the bags from the incubation room and take it to the fruiting room If you don't have enough space you can still use the incubation room provided you allow light to come in. This is because during fruiting light is required. Here you maintain a low temperature of a maximum of 20 degrees Celsius.
