Is growing mushrooms profitable?

Previously, many people changed their careers due to the low profit of shiitake mushrooms. However, we are currently in a critical period of poverty alleviation, and shiitake mushroom cultivation is also one of its main projects. The country will have certain subsidy policies, so the prospects for the current cultivation of shiitake mushrooms are still very good.

Profits and benefits of growing shiitake mushrooms

Generally speaking, one acre of shiitake mushrooms can produce about 10,000 sticks, and the cost is about 35,000 yuan. The current market price is about 4.5-5 yuan per catty. After deducting the cost, the net profit per acre is about 23,500 yuan, which is still considerable.

High-yield cultivation techniques of shiitake mushrooms

1. Cooling inoculation

In order to achieve high yields of shiitake mushrooms, they need to be cooled and inoculated. After sterilization, they need to be moved directly into the inoculation room and then fumigated with formaldehyde for about 8-10 hours.

2. Bacteria

In the early stage after inoculation, the temperature needs to be controlled between 18-28℃. In the later stage, the outer bag needs to be removed to increase oxygen. Attention should be paid to loosening the pile for cooling. By the middle and early June, the color change is almost over.

3. Mushroom production management

The suitable temperature for the formation of shiitake mushroom primordium is about 10-20℃. In the later stage, the alternating dry and wet method is used to spray water to keep moisture, and the air humidity is controlled at about 80%, which is conducive to promoting mushroom production.
