Features: Among the edible mushrooms commercially cultivated in China, oyster mushroom, shiitake mushroom, and shimeji mushroom are the most widely cultivated varieties. These three types of mushrooms essentially belong to the oyster mushroom category. They have broad requirements for substrates, are easy to cultivate, convenient to manage, have short growth cycles, high biological efficiency, low production costs, and can be grown year-round. This book introduces the basic characteristics of these three types of mushrooms, with a focus on mushroom strain production, cultivation techniques, and various cultivation models, as well as the principles and methods of pollution-free production; pest and disease control, and product processing technologies. The book lists nearly 200 different substrate formulas, more than 10 large-scale production examples, and nearly 100 examples of product processing and pollution-free cultivation methods. The practicality of the illustrations and tables at the end of the book is one of its key features.
