Green mold spread @ our oyster mushroom farm , around 800 bags ( oyster mushroom cylinder) were implemented and so far we have found 200 infected bags . how we protect rest of the bags and if we start again with fresh then what kind of measurement needs to take before starting .
Also it would be great if you let us know the percussion at growing stages

Has any one tried composting using Meat bone meal?. In India chicken manure has mainly rice husk and chicken droppings. Rice husk do not have measure role in providing nutrition to cmpost. i did a trial of using Meat boan meal along with whaet straw as substrate. I got very good results . More trials were not done due to lock down and closure of farm for some time. Kindly share your expericnce.

Does anyone have more detailed explanations or plans for how to build the plenum of an aerated floor tunnel? How much airflow and pressure needed for the fan? How to calculate the slope of the floor of the plenum. I'm looking to build one out of wood inside another building with access to fresh air from outside, 4 foot wide x 16 feet long x 8 feet tall. Good enough size for a small starting operation. Just a trail, not a business yet.
Any blueprints of similar projects or information on the airflow systems would be appreciated. Or any videos of such tunnels also would help.

Hi,

We are getting low mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) yield in Second Flush.

For 10 Kgs of compost, we are getting an average yield of 1.5 kgs
(First Crop - 1 kg, Second crop - 0.5Kg). Earlier we were getting 2.2 kgs of mushroom for the same compost.


We are using Paddy straw, Wheat straw, chicken Manure, Ammonium sulphate, Gypsum, Urea for producing compost.

Unable to locate the problem. Please suggest how to improve the yield.

I would like to know how it is calculated.

Do you know of any software for keeping track of compost production? e.g. weight/amount type ingredients added to a batch? Track the time in the various stages of fermentation and attach additional records (Temp, lab results etc) that would be useful later on when working out the best batches for yield?
