Temperature Management: Different mushroom species have different temperature requirements. For example, the growth temperature of Pleurotus ostreatus is generally between 15-25°C, and that of Lentinula edodes is around 10-20°C. Temperature control equipment can be installed to precisely control the temperature according to the growth stages of mushrooms.

Humidity Adjustment: Usually, the relative air humidity in the mushroom growth environment needs to be maintained at 85%-95%. Humidity can be increased by installing spray devices, humidifiers, etc., or decreased by using ventilation equipment to maintain a suitable state.

Light Control: Most mushrooms do not require strong light, and diffused light or weak light can meet their needs. According to the lighting conditions of the cultivation site, sunshade nets can be used for shading treatment to create suitable lighting conditions for mushroom growth.

Gas Management: Mushrooms carry out respiration during the growth process. It is necessary to pay attention to ventilation and air exchange to ensure sufficient oxygen supply and control the carbon dioxide concentration. Ventilation fans can be installed to ventilate in a timely manner according to the data of carbon dioxide sensors.

Raw Material Selection: Select high-quality raw materials, such as cottonseed hulls, sawdust, corncobs, etc., which are rich in cellulose and lignin. Ensure that they are free from mildew and pests and diseases. At the same time, appropriate amounts of nitrogen-rich auxiliary materials such as bran and rice bran can be added to adjust the carbon-nitrogen ratio.

Fermentation Treatment: The cultivation substrate needs to be fully fermented, generally going through processes such as piling and turning. The temperature will rise during the fermentation process, and the temperature changes should be monitored to make the cultivation substrate reach a decomposed and uniform state, killing miscellaneous bacteria and pest eggs to provide a good nutritional foundation for mushroom growth.

pH Adjustment: Different mushrooms have different suitable pH values. For example, Volvariella volvacea likes a slightly alkaline environment with a pH value of 7.5-8.5; Pleurotus ostreatus is suitable for a pH value of 5.5-6.5. Lime or gypsum can be used to adjust the pH of the cultivation substrate.
