Mushroom Pests and Diseases
Most disease outbreaks or pest infestations in mushroom growing facilities rise for improper pasteurization of the compost (or generally the substrate) that is used. Then, due to watering, the airflow, […]

There is no right time for mushroom harvesting. Broadly speaking, mushroom growing from substrate production to harvest lasts almost 3 months or 20-25 days from seeding. Theoretically, when the fruiting […]
Once the grower has produced and sterilized the substrate-compost (and the facilities-equipment), he/she can place it into the stacked wooden trays/beds or in plastic bags and add-mix the spawn. Large […]
Substrate production is a complicated procedure of multiple aerobic fermentation stages (composting) and consists of two main phases: phase I (fermentation) and phase II (pasteurization – ripening). It occurs in […]
Unlike green plants, mushrooms do not produce chlorophyll, so they cannot absorb light energy to get fed. They absorb the nutrients they need to grow entirely from the substrate they […]
Mushrooms can grow either in vertical production units or in satellite production rooms-cabinets. Producers in vertical units are responsible for performing the entire procedure, from the substrate and spawn production […]
A typical mushroom biological cycle has three main stages: Vegetative growth → Starts with the production of primary or secondary mycelium from a (or 2) spore(s). The mycelium continues to […]
Professional Mushroom Cultivation On a large scale or for farmers with small and medium space-equipment capability, mushrooms can provide a source of income. Large-scale commercial cultivation, however, requires a significant […]
If you love mushrooms and would like to grow them at home, all you have to do is read the following instructions carefully, and if all things go well, you […]
Biofuels are fuels that are produced by humans using organic matter. Biofuels are considered renewable because of their production source. The most common biofuels are biodiesel, bioethanol (liquids), and biogas […]
