The processing of culture materials is one of the most critical steps in mushroom cultivation. It directly affects the success of the entire process and the final yield. In the early days, people relied on natural fermentation methods, which often led to incomplete fermentation. This resulted in poor propagation of beneficial bacteria and severe bacterial contamination. Later, with technological improvements, culture materials were moved into sealed mushroom houses where steam was used to control temperature manually. While this helped reduce contamination, it was time-consuming, energy-intensive, and inefficient.
In recent years, the use of fermentation starters has become a game-changer in edible fungus cultivation, delivering excellent results in commercial production. The benefits of using these agents are significant:
(a) Rapid temperature rise. With the application of a fermentation agent, the material temperature can quickly reach above 60°C. For example, the Kinpo fermentation agent can raise the temperature to 60–70°C within two or three days. This high heat not only kills harmful bacteria but also eliminates most fungal spores.
(b) Microbial changes. The fermentation agent promotes the rapid multiplication of beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Actinomycetes, in particular, increase by more than 100 times compared to secondary fermentation. These beneficial microbes "pre-occupy" space, preventing harmful bacteria from thriving. Their activity also generates more heat, maintaining high temperatures for longer periods. Additionally, antibiotics produced by these microbes help prevent recontamination.
(c) Nutrient transformation. During fermentation, microbial activity breaks down cellulose and increases soluble sugars while adjusting the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. Free proteins are converted into mycelial proteins that support stronger mushroom growth. Using the Golden Baby fermentation agent can boost mushroom yields by 20–30%.
(d) Expanded raw material options. Traditional mushroom cultivation relies heavily on cotton husks, while crop stalks are often burned, causing environmental pollution. This is due to incomplete fermentation, which prevents cellulose from being fully broken down, making it hard for mushrooms to absorb. Fermentation starters solve this issue. Poultry manure, rich in nutrients, is ideal for many types of mushrooms, while cow and pig manure offer different benefits depending on the species. By using fermentation agents, farmers can replace expensive bran and cake fertilizers with manure, improving the nitrogen content of the substrate. This not only reduces costs but also helps reuse waste materials like failed buckwheat bags, contaminated sticks, or unused mushroom logs. With proper treatment, these can be mixed with fresh materials to grow other mushroom varieties.
Overall, fermentation agents help transform traditional cultivation methods into more efficient, eco-friendly, and profitable practices. Whether you're growing oyster, shiitake, or button mushrooms, using a starter can significantly improve your results. For more details, visit our website or contact us directly.
