Summary

This video provides a detailed guide on cultivating ear mushrooms at home. It covers the entire process, from selecting ready-to-use seeds to preparing the planting medium and sterilizing it. The video explains how to inoculate the backlogs with ear mushroom seeds, manage the incubation environment, and monitor mycelium growth. It also discusses the harvest process and the importance of removing mushroom roots to ensure healthy regrowth. Ear mushrooms are a versatile crop that can be grown on various scales, making them a great option for small-scale home cultivation or as a side business.

Takeaways

• 😀 Ear mushrooms, although not as popular as oyster mushrooms, are widely consumed due to their delicious taste and high demand.
• 😀 Ear mushrooms can be cultivated in various weather conditions and seasons, making them a versatile crop for different environments.
• 😀 There are several types of ear mushrooms, including red ear mushrooms, black ear mushrooms, and kakurage, all of which grow well in 70-80% humidity.
• 😀 Ear mushrooms can be cultivated on both a small and large scale, making them suitable for use as a side business.
• 😀 For beginners, it's recommended to buy ready-to-use ear mushroom seeds from a seed shop to simplify the cultivation process.
• 😀 The planting medium for ear mushrooms includes bran, sawdust, lime, and water, which should be mixed evenly before fermentation.
• 😀 The fermentation of the planting medium is essential for creating an ideal growing environment for ear mushrooms, and it should take 4-5 days at 70°C.
• 😀 After fermentation, the planting medium must be compacted into plastic bags (30x20 cm), which are then sterilized to eliminate wild microbes.
• 😀 Sterilization is done by flowing water vapor into the medium, ensuring it is tightly sealed to prevent steam leakage. The process takes about 7-8 hours.
• 😀 After sterilization, the inoculation process involves inserting ear mushroom seeds into the planting medium, followed by incubation at 28-35°C and 80% humidity for 5-8 weeks.
• 😀 Ear mushrooms are typically ready for harvest 3-4 weeks after the mushroom body has formed, with 4-6 harvests possible in a 5-6 month growing cycle.

Q & A

What are ear mushrooms, and how do they compare to other types of mushrooms?

Ear mushrooms, though not as popular as oyster mushrooms, are widely consumed due to their delicious taste. They come in various types, including red ear mushrooms, black ear mushrooms, and others, and are suitable for cultivation in various climates and seasons.

What are the benefits of cultivating ear mushrooms at home?

Ear mushrooms can be cultivated at home on a small or large scale, making them a great side business. They thrive in conditions with 70-80% humidity, allowing for flexibility in cultivation even in yards or small spaces.

How can beginners easily start cultivating ear mushrooms?

For beginners, it’s recommended to buy ready-to-use seeds from a specialized seed shop. This simplifies the process of preparing seeds and makes the initial steps more manageable.

What materials are needed to prepare the planting medium for ear mushrooms?

The planting medium for ear mushrooms includes bran, sawdust, lime, and water. These ingredients must be mixed thoroughly to create the ideal environment for mushroom growth.

Why is fermentation important in preparing the planting medium?

Fermentation helps neutralize wild microbes in the planting medium and ensures it reaches the right temperature (around 70°C). This process is crucial for creating the ideal medium for ear mushrooms to grow.

How long should the planting medium be fermented, and what are the indicators that it’s ready?

The planting medium should be fermented for 4-5 days, with temperature rising to 70°C. The medium is ready when its color changes to dark brown or blackish, indicating that the fermentation process is complete.

What is the purpose of compacting the planting medium in plastic during cultivation?

Compacting the planting medium in heat-resistant plastic ensures the proper formation of the mushroom's growth environment. The plastic’s shape (conical at the neck) makes it easier to insert the binding ring and prevents water from seeping in during sterilization.

How is the sterilization process carried out, and why is it necessary?

Sterilization is carried out by flowing water vapor into the planting medium, typically for 7-8 hours. This step is essential to kill any wild microbes in the medium that could compete with or harm the ear mushroom growth.

What steps should be followed when inoculating the planting medium with ear mushroom seeds?

Inoculation involves cleaning hands with 70% alcohol, sterilizing tools like plastic irons, and making holes in the backlogs to insert the mushroom seeds. The medium is then sealed with cotton to prevent contamination.

What factors affect the incubation of ear mushrooms, and how can growers monitor progress?

Ear mushroom incubation should be done at temperatures between 28°C-35°C, with a humidity level of 80%. The incubation period lasts 5-8 weeks, with visible white mycelium growth indicating success. If no mycelium growth is seen after 5 weeks, the inoculation is considered a failure.

When are ear mushrooms ready to be harvested, and how should harvesting be done?

Ear mushrooms are ready to be harvested when they are 3-4 weeks old, marked by the appearance of wavy edges. To harvest, the mushroom body and roots should be removed together, as leaving the roots can hinder the growth of new mushrooms.
