Lentinus edodes like to grow in water retaining, breathable, loose and fertile soil. In order to make the loam more suitable for the growth of Lentinus edodes and make the Lentinus edodes reach the highest level of high yield and high quality, the humus soil with high humus content and garden soil can be used to prepare the soil when planting Lentinus edodes. At the same time, the acidity and alkalinity of the soil also need to be adjusted to a certain extent. The pH value in the mycelial stage should be 5-6, and it is more suitable to grow in the soil with pH value of 3.5-4.5 when the mushroom primordium begins to form. 1、 What kind of soil is better for planting Lentinus edodes? 1. Good water retention: water in the soil is an essential substance in the growth process of Lentinus edodes. Only when growing in moisturizing soil can Lentinus edodes grow better. Because the inorganic salts, vitamins and other nutrients needed in the growth of Lentinus edodes can only be successfully absorbed and utilized by Lentinus edodes when they are dissolved in soil water.
2. Loose and breathable: the oxygen in the soil is one of the basic material conditions for the normal growth and development of Lentinus edodes. Planting Lentinus edodes in soft soil with good air permeability can not only improve the emergence rate of Lentinus edodes, but also avoid deformity and decline of commodity value.
3. Slightly acidic soil: the growth of mycelium, the formation of primordium and the growth and development of fruiting body of Lentinus edodes are closely related to the acidity and alkalinity of soil. Only in slightly acidic soil can the yield and quality of Lentinus edodes be guaranteed. 2、 What kind of fertilizer is better for planting Lentinus edodes? 1. Rice washing water: because nitrogen is indispensable for the growth of Lentinus edodes, in addition to rice bran and wheat bran as organic nitrogen sources, the application of rice washing water can also provide nitrogen for the development of Lentinus edodes. When configuring rice washing water, the ratio of rice to water should be 1:3.
2. Fertilizer solution: because Lentinus edodes is very sensitive to the concentration of chemical fertilizer, it is mainly diluted fertilizer solution. Sucrose, urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate are dissolved in water and sprayed on the bacterial bed, which is very helpful to promote the yield of Lentinus edodes. （ChongXiangGuYongShenMeTuBiJiaoHao）
