TürkçeThe “Professional Tunnel System” can also be used for mushroom cultivation, such as oyster mushrooms. Such systems are ideal for large-scale mushroom production in a controlled environment. In oyster mushroom cultivation, tunnel systems are used to optimize the conditions the mushrooms need, such as temperature, humidity and air circulation. Here are some features of this system:
1. Insulated Tunnels
- The tunnels are well insulated to provide the microclimate the oyster mushroom needs inside without being affected by the external environmental conditions.
- High humidity and constant temperature values are maintained.
2. Air Conditioning and Ventilation
- Humidity and temperature control: The tunnels are equipped with humidifiers and air conditioners to create optimal growing conditions for the mushroom. Oyster mushrooms usually grow at a temperature of 18-24°C and 80-90% humidity.
- Ventilation: Good air circulation should be ensured to control the carbon dioxide level. During the growth of mushrooms the CO2 level increases and fresh air is required.
3. Automatic Irrigation and Feeding Systems
- The tunnels can be equipped with automatic irrigation systems to keep the mushroom compost moist.
- Intra-tunnel distribution of nutrients necessary for the development process.
4. Lighting
- Oyster mushrooms do not need natural light as they do not photosynthesize. However, low-intensity artificial light can be used to stimulate the growth process.
5. Hygienic Environment and Pest Control
- The tunnels are arranged in accordance with hygiene standards to ensure healthy growth of fungi and prevent contamination.
- Biosecurity measures are taken to prevent the growth of harmful organisms.
Professional tunnel systems offer an efficient and sustainable solution for producers who want to achieve high yields in oyster mushroom cultivation. These systems enable mushroom production all year round and create a controlled environment regardless of climatic conditions.
