Growing oyster mushrooms is a fairly simple matter, but the main thing is to adhere to the correct technology. We will talk about the variety of technologies for growing mushrooms and achieving maximum results.
Oyster Office: Growing at home on stumps: technology, equipment
Cultivation ples on hemp More suitable for personal economy, because in this case:
- there is enough space for placing logs
- it is possible to apply cut trees
This method is simple, not requiring special equipment. Consider the main stages of cultivation.
Harp stump of deciduous trees (except for oak):
- moisten the wood well with water
- make a few holes 5 cm deep, where mycelium will be placed
Introduce planting material:
- pour mycelium into the holes
- cover with moss or bark

Oyster mushrooms on stumps
Another sowing option:
- on a saw a stump, sprinkle the grains of mycelium
- cover with a sawn circle
- fasten with nails
Install stumps:
- in the ground or sand, dig shallow pits in the darkened place of the site
- install stumps in them
- put it with dry leaves or sawdust
- pour water
- cover with polyethylene
Take care of the mushroom mushrooms.
- in dry weather water stump
- moisturize the soil around the log
Having sowed in March - April. With proper care, you will receive a mushroom harvest from stumps after 3-4 months.
Such a mycelium can bear fruit for several years, without taking away from you a lot of time and effort. Also on the hemp you can grow oyster mushrooms in the basement or cellar:
- landing technology is such as in the previous version
- place the stumps in the rooms where the necessary microclimate (basement, cellar) will be provided)
Oyster Office: Growing at home in bags: technology, equipment
At home, the oyster mushroom is most often raised in bags. It is convenient to use these containers, as they are compact, and they do not need a lot of space for their placement.
In this case, the intensive growing method is used, that is, bags in the room where a special microclimate is artificially supported. You will need:
- polyethylene bags
- the container for disinfection of the substrate (pelvis, tank, bucket)
- material for the creation of soil (meadow, sawdust, straw)
- mycelium
- room where mushrooms will grow

Oysteroli in bags
Process description:
- wash the bags
- treat them with chlorine solution for disinfection
- pour water material for the soil
- stiring, wash it
- drain dirty water
- pour water again and boil for about 3 hours (you can cook right in the bags)
- cool
- drain the water and squeeze the substrate well (you can put under oppression)
- fill the bags with a substrate with mycelium, alternating them
- try to place mushroom seeds closer to the walls of the bag
- mycelium should be about 5 % in relation to the substrate
- tie a bag tightly
- below, cut the corners a little so that excess moisture flows through the holes
- every 12-15 cm with a knife, make holes about 1-2 cm long
- place the bags in the selected room (do not put them on each other, provide free air access to the side with holes. It is best to hang bags)
- support in the room a temperature of 20-24 ° C, and humidity-80-90 %. Lighting at this stage is not required
- do not allow moisture to get into the rudiments of mushrooms
- after the substrate in the bags is overgrown with a mushroom mushroom and turns into a dense whitish mass, transfer them to another room with a temperature of 16-18 ° C and a moisture content of 95%
- maintain humidity, irrigating bags of water from a sprinkler
- provide good ventilation in the room, or ventilate several times a day
- use the light of dim lamps (at least 8 hours a day)
- make a little more available cuts in bags so that the mushrooms grow out freely
Oyster Office: Growing at home in a greenhouse: technology, equipment
Having a greenhouse on your site, you can grow an oyster mushroom in it. The structure can be made of any material (glass, film). The main thing is the creation of the desired microclimate.
DECRIPTION DEPATORTS:
- lorid lighting - for this, cover the walls with a special mesh or paint the material of the greenhouse with a solution of chalk.
- the possibility of changes in temperature - each period of mushroom development requires a certain temperature regime. The greenhouse should not heat up above 25 ° C.
- providing high humidity - for this, purchase a orphanage or draw hoses.
- good ventilation - air flows should freely penetrate into the greenhouse when it is ventilated.

Greenhouses from the greenhouse
You can grow oyster mushrooms in this structure in different ways:
- extensive, when fruiting occurs after 3-4 months (PNI and POLS are used)
- intensive, with the maintenance of a special microclimate, in which fruiting occurs after 1.5-2 months
Oyster Office: Growing at home in the basement: technology, equipment
In order to grow an oyster mushroom in the basement, it is necessary that it meets certain requirements:
- was sealed (to observe the necessary temperature and humidity)
- there was no mold on the walls
- the ceiling height should be at least 3 m
- the possibility of pest penetration is excluded
- he had good ventilation
Before you plant mushrooms, carefully prepare the basement:
- clean the space by removing unnecessary items
- if necessary, warm the walls and floor (to maintain a temperature up to 25 ° C)
- cover the basement walls with a special antifungal coating
- hang daylight lamps
- process the room with a smoke saber or other products from pests
- wet cleaning with chlorine solution
- divide the rooms into two zones for different periods of mushroom growth
- buy a heater that can heat the room

Eying in the basement
After you prepare the basement, you can start growing mushrooms in any way:
- on hemp and logs
- in containers with a suitable substrate
Throughout the growing process, it is necessary to ensure a microclimate during the period of incubation and during fruiting. Due to the fact that the basement is usually empty and practically not used, growing oyster mushrooms in it is the most acceptable and convenient option, in which even the development of a small home business is possible.
Oyster Office: Raising at home in the garage: technology, equipment
The garage is one of the most suitable rooms for growing oyster mushrooms, as it usually heats up and has a ventilation system. Thus, the need for its re -equipment is practically absent.
Of course, it should not be used for its intended purpose. After careful cleaning and disinfection of the room, you just need to purchase some additional equipment:
- daylight lamps
- humidity sensors
- temperature meters
- fans
- heaters (if necessary)
- air humidifiers, irrigators
The technology for growing oyster mushrooms in the garage is identical to the one that is used in basement cultivation:
- the zonal division of the room
- preparation of the substrate
- the laying of sowing mycelium
- maintaining the necessary climatic conditions
Oysteroli: Growing at home in sawdust: technology, equipment
As a substrate, sawdust is good in that they have the ability to retain moisture inside themselves for a long time. However, the crop on sawdust will be less than from the stump.

Openings in sawdust
Adhere to the basic requirements of the technology:
- choose for growing oyster mudding of deciduous trees (beech, poplar, aspen, chestnut, grab, birch). Coniferous rocks emit resins that negatively affect the mushrooms.
- it is advisable to buy raw materials fresh
- if there is no possibility of soon using purchased sawdust, store them dried in order to avoid mold
- grind raw materials up to 4 mm
- boil for 2 hours (take 3 parts of water per 1 part of the sawdust)
- after cooling up to 25 ° C, you can add nutrients (for example, a wort of beer, oat bran)
- drain the water by placing sawdust into the grid
- sowing 14 hours after water drains
- use grain mycelium, as it takes root better in this raw material
- it is preferable to use bags or wooden boxes as containers
- place in any suitable room (basement, greenhouse, garage)
Oyster Office: Growing at home in straw: technology, equipment
Straw is the most preferred substrate for producing oyster mushrooms at home. Experts assure: they receive the largest mushroom harvest from this raw material.
For cultivation, they use straw of various cereal crops:
- wheat
- barley
- rye
- oats
Wheat straw is especially valuable in this regard. Special equipment for the process is not required, only a means for grinding straw (knife, ax, industrial grinder).
The technology for using straw as a substrate consists of such stages:
Preparation:
- choose straw porous, with wide stems
- check for the lack of infection
- before laying mycelium, chop the raw materials
- soak in water (the fresh material, the longer soaking)

Eying in straw
Hydrothermal processing:
- put the straw in a larger container
- pour warm water
- bring the mass to a temperature of 60-75 ° C (do not cook)
- leave it for three hours
- pour water
- cool up to 25 ° C
- put on the surface with a slope, providing water flow
Growing:
- lay straw into prepared foundations (it is best to use a bag)
- alternate the substrate with sowing mycelium
- grow in an affordable room
Oyster Office: Growing at home in cardboard: technology, equipment
An unpretentious oyster mushroom can be grown even on paper. It is hard to believe, but such a substrate is often used by mushroom workers - amateurs.
In general, there is nothing surprising in this: after all, the paper is made from cellulose (wood material). For breeding oyster mushrooms, it is preferable to use packaging cardboard:
- it practically lacks typographic paint
- it is available, since the packaging is often thrown away
- cardboard can be made from several types of trees, which increases its nutritional value as a substrate
- the porous structure provides good breathability

Office on cardboard
The technology is absolutely not complicated and consists of such stages:
- rinse cardboard under running water
- pour hot water (60 degrees)
- leave for 7 hours, periodically pouring hot water
- let cool up to 25 ° C
- squeeze and straighten
- leave in the straightened form for a while
- fold the stack
- place between the sheets add mycelium
- make holes
- fold in a bag and tie
- keep in a dark place at 15-20 ° C
- in a couple of days, untie and drain excess water, if any
- after 4 weeks, untie the package and put it on a dim light
Of course, this method is absolutely not suitable for doing mushroom business.
In addition to studying the technology and purchasing equipment, you must also familiarize yourself with other equally important aspects that will help you get a good harvest. About temperatures, methods of increasing productivity and other useful information you can read here. And to beginner businessmen who are going to seriously engage in the cultivation of oyster mushrooms this article is useful.
