Chapter 64 Growing Mushrooms
After Zhao Qingshan's matter was properly handled, those infected mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms were burned. Only in this way can the spores of the poisonous mold be completely exterminated.Others didn't understand why Lin Xuan thought he was making a fuss out of a molehill, as if he was facing an enemy. Only he himself knew that the poisonous mold spores were very powerful.

After returning to Yuhu Farm, the work of rebuilding the greenhouse was also put on the agenda. Zhao Qingshan started work that afternoon. The first thing was to transform the greenhouse into a mushroom room for growing mushrooms.

Lin Xuan plans to cultivate mushrooms such as mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and white fungus, which are common and in high demand. These are the main ingredients of Xuexuanting's more popular mushroom dishes.

The original vegetable greenhouses are elevated sheds, which are not suitable for the growth of mushrooms, especially in winter, when the temperature is not high enough, the mushrooms cannot grow at all, so the first thing to do is to dig the soil.The soil in the greenhouse is dug down about one and a half meters, so that the heat preservation of the greenhouse is greatly improved.

The greenhouses in Yuhu Farm are all newly built, with excellent thermal insulation and ventilation. Zhao Qingshan just slightly remodeled the greenhouses suitable for growing mushrooms. In order to make reasonable use of the space, he also suggested to Lin Xuan to grow mushrooms. The mode of layered planting can be adopted, and a four-layer shelf is tied with bamboo poles, some nets are spread on each layer, a layer of straw is covered, and then bacteria are sprinkled, and more can be produced under the premise of ensuring the temperature. mushrooms.

After the reconstruction of the greenhouse was completed, Lin Xuan didn't ask Zhao Qingshan to cultivate the fungus because of the poisonous mold, and he didn't know what to do. If the mushrooms he planted were also infected with the poisonous mold, all his efforts would be in vain.

So Lin Xuan specifically asked Zhao Qingshan how to grow mushrooms. He planned to experiment in a different space first. The well next to the Alchemy Institute is the source of raw water in a different space. It has magical effects on plants and should also be able to inhibit poisonous mold. infection.

However, all of these are Lin Xuan's own guesses, so after consulting Zhao Qingshan about the precautions for growing mushrooms, Lin Xuan began to try.

Lin Xuan used cow dung, sawdust and bran to cultivate the strains. Firstly, these things were sieved and then exposed to the sun for 2 to 3 days. Because there is enough time and sunlight in a different space, the effect of exposure is quite good. .

After finishing these, Lin Xuan mixed cow dung and sawdust at a volume ratio of 1:1, and then mixed some auxiliary materials such as ammonium bicarbonate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, quicklime, and light calcium carbonate.After mixing evenly, add the well water from the different space, and finally pile up all the ingredients together, plug in a thermometer, and wait quietly for fermentation.

During this period, the piles need to be turned over, once every ten days or so, four times in a row.

Although Lin Xuan strictly followed Zhao Qingshan's instructions, he still failed the first time, because the material pile was piled too tightly, and the lower half of the material pile turned dark brown and gave off a foul smell, especially when the bottom half was already full. rot.

The second time, Lin Xuan was more careful. After more than a month of hard work, he finally completed the preparation of the stockpile.The next step is to prepare for inoculation.The fungus is in stock at Zhao Qingshan’s home, and because it’s just a fungus, it’s not infected by the poisonous mold and can still be used.

After receiving the strains, the rest will be left to wait for the strains to fully grow and finally grow mushrooms. During this time, Lin Xuan has been staying in the different space, checking the growth of the mushrooms while completing the progress of the intermediate training program. Occasionally make a big meal for a snacker.

The growth cycle of mushrooms is very short. Generally, it takes about a week to mature under the right temperature. It may be because of the well water in a different space. After only three days, the bacteria planted by Lin Xuan have grown into a A huge bunch of mushrooms.

"It should be fine to take these mushrooms to the outside world now." Lin Xuan looked at the mushrooms on the shelf in front of him, feeling a little proud in his heart. He cultivated these mushrooms himself.

In order to celebrate the harvest of mushrooms, Lin Xuan specially made some mushroom dishes to reward himself. The taste of mushrooms is as good as that of delicious vegetables, delicious and juicy, and the taste is very tender, especially when stewed with meat, it is perfect The meat absorbs the oiliness and at the same time releases a unique aroma.

While the mushrooms were not yet fully mature, Lin Xuan put the mushrooms infected with the poisonous mold together with these newly grown mushrooms. This group of mushrooms infected with the poisonous mold was quietly left by Lin Xuan when he burned those poisonous mushrooms. It is this experiment.

One day passed, and the mushrooms planted by Lin Xuan were safe and sound, but the group of mushrooms infected with the poisonous mold shrank a little.

Three days later, the mushrooms planted by Lin Xuan have fully matured, and the surface is still unchanged, while the mushrooms infected with the poisonous mold have wrinkled into a ball.

A week passed, and the mushrooms Lin Xuan planted were dehydrated due to too long time, but they were not infected with poisonous mold from the beginning to the end, and the group of poisonous mushrooms had already rotted.

The results of the experiment made Lin Xuan very excited. Sure enough, the mushrooms irrigated with well water were not affected by the poisonous mold at all, which showed that mushrooms could be grown in Yuhu Farm, and Xuexuanting's current embarrassment would be resolved.

Early the next morning, Lin Xuan found Zhao Qingshan and asked him to start growing mushrooms.After Lin Yutian heard the news, he ran over in a hurry and said anxiously: "Brother, isn't this too hasty? Recently, the news about poisonous molds is overwhelming, and some people say that the spores of these poisonous molds have a bad influence on people. Aren't we doing it to ourselves by growing mushrooms at this juncture?"

"What did you say?" Lin Xuan suddenly noticed a message in Lin Yutian's words, "You said that some people said that the spores of poisonous mold have a bad effect on people?"

Lin Yutian was stunned, and nodded, "This is the news that just came out this morning. Some people say that the spores of poisonous mold can affect the human respiratory system, but the rumor has been refuted by experts, saying it is nonsense."

"Do you know who that person is?" Lin Xuan clung to this topic tightly.

"Brother, are you changing the subject?" Lin Yutian looked at Lin Xuan suspiciously.

Lin Xuan frowned, "Of course not, I have already found a solution to the poisonous mold problem. The mushrooms we grow don't have to worry about being infected by poisonous mold."

"Really?" Lin Yutian was startled, and then his heart burst into joy, "Great, doesn't that mean that our farm is going to make a fortune? It seems that ten greenhouses are obviously not enough. I'll see if I can spare them." Come out a few seats." After speaking, he was about to run, but was grabbed by Lin Xuan from behind.

"Brother, why are you dragging me?" Lin Yutian asked with a confused face.

"You haven't told me who the person on the news is." Lin Xuan finally met a person who knew the dangers of poisonous mold, and he must meet this person.
