Abstract:

Study on the effect of two different methods for controlling humidification on the production of the king oyster mushroom [ Pleurotus eryngii (DC.:Fr.) Quél. ] was conducted. When the cultivation spawn bottles were not capped after bottle neck treatment and supersonic humidifier was used, no significant differences in both yield and biological efficiency were found between controlling the operation of the humifier with a timer and with a humidity controller installed with a humidity sensor. In addition, the interval between bottle neck treatment and harvesting 90% or all of the first flush mushrooms were significantly shorten in the former method. It is recommended that for the bottle cultivation of the king oyster mushroom the operation of supersonic humidifier can be inexpensively controlled with a timer to adjust the interval and length of time of humidification.

Key words:Pleurotus eryngii, Controlling method of humification, Bottle cultivation, Production
