Jinbao Edible Fungi Cultivation Supplement: How to Use Fermentation Aid for Better Growth
Cultivating edible fungi requires careful preparation of the culture medium, which plays a crucial role in the development and yield of the final product. One effective way to improve the quality of the culture is by using fermentation aid. Here's how you can prepare and use it properly.

**Preparation:** Start by preparing the fermentation aid at 0.1% of the total weight of the culture material (which is one-thousandth). If you're reusing waste, you can increase this to 0.2%. Mix the fermentation aid with the main ingredients—such as rice husks, straw, or sawdust—that have been pre-soaked or cut into small pieces. Adjust the moisture content to 60-70% and ensure the pH level is around 8.

**Mixing:** Dilute the fermentation aid with fresh rice bran (or old rice bran if fresh is unavailable) at a ratio of 5 kg of bran per 1 kg of fermentation aid. Then mix it thoroughly with other additives like cake meal, manure, or compost. Once everything is well blended, evenly incorporate it into the main ingredients.

**Piling:** After mixing, pile up the materials using conventional methods. Create ventilation holes in the center of the pile using a 10 cm diameter pointed tool to allow air circulation. Cover the pile with breathable materials such as sacks or straw mats to maintain warmth and moisture.

**Turning:** When the temperature inside the pile reaches approximately 65°C, it’s time to turn the pile for the first time. Repeat the process every 3-4 days. For Agaricus bisporus, the turning interval may be slightly longer.

**Temperature Control:** In the early stages of fermentation, the temperature may rise quickly to 70-75°C. If this happens, it’s important to turn the pile immediately. Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 75°C can destroy nutrients in the culture medium, leading to lower yields. In later stages, adjust the temperature based on the specific needs of each fungus type—by removing covers, increasing the number of ventilation holes, watering, reducing pile height, or turning again.

**Moisture Management:** As the pile heats up, moisture will evaporate. To prevent drying out, water the pile as needed—preferably with 0.5% lime water. Make sure to do this during the last watering and turning session. Avoid adding too much water when sowing, as excess moisture can cause the mycelium to "not take" the spores, leading to poor growth.

**Completion Check:** The fermentation process typically takes 5-6 days for species like oyster mushrooms and straw mushrooms, while Agaricus bisporus may need 10-15 days. The finished culture should have about 65% moisture, a brown color, and a layer of white mycelium on the surface. It should not have an ammonia smell, and the material should feel soft but not sticky. When you gently pull the straw, it should break easily, indicating that the fermentation is complete.
