Oyster Mushroom Production

Oyster mushroom production is a process that needs to be carried out with specific steps and appropriate equipment. Here is how to produce oyster mushrooms and a list of the necessary fixtures and fittings for a 100 m² production house:

Oyster Mushroom Production Stages

  1. Selection and Preparation of Raw Materials:
    • Organic materials such as wheat or barley straw, cotton waste, sawdust or corn stalks are often used for oyster mushrooms. These materials should be cut into suitable sizes and moistened with water.
  2. Compost Preparation:
    • The moistened raw materials are combined to make compost. This compost provides the nutrients needed for oyster mushrooms to grow.
    • The compost should be pasteurized at 60-70°C for 6-8 hours. This process is necessary to kill harmful microorganisms.
  3. Micelle Inoculation:
    • After cooling the pasteurized compost, mushroom mycelium (seed) is added. The mycelium should be evenly distributed throughout the compost.
  4. Incubation

  5. Fungal Growth:
    • After incubation, the compost is made suitable for the growth of mushrooms by providing lighting and ventilation for a certain period of time. Usually mushrooms can be harvested within 1-2 weeks.
  6. Harvest:
    • The mushrooms are carefully picked when they reach the appropriate size. Harvesting must be done carefully to keep the mushrooms fresh and healthy.

    • Mycelial (seed) bags or containers.
    • Tables and instruments to provide a sterile environment for vaccination.
  5. Lighting Systems:
    • LED lamps or fluorescent lamps for low intensity lighting.
  6. Harvesting Equipment:
    • Cutting tools (knife or scissors) for harvesting mushrooms.
    • Boxes or baskets suitable for post-harvest transportation and storage.
  7. Cleaning and Hygiene Supplies:
    • Cleaning equipment (brooms, cloths, etc.).
    • Sterilization products (alcohol, disinfectants).
  8. Safety Equipment:
    • Gloves, mask and protective clothing.
  9. Monitoring and Control Equipment

Additional Notes:

  • The layout of the production area and attention to hygiene standards have a direct impact on the quality of the mushrooms.
  • Regular maintenance should be carried out and the efficiency of the equipment checked.

These fixture requirements are necessary for the efficient operation of a 100 m² production house. Success in oyster mushroom production depends on both technical knowledge and the right equipment.
