Tridge summary

The article highlights a significant advancement in mushroom production technology by the Chungbuk Agricultural Research and Extension Services in collaboration with the Rural Development Administration and the Korea Mushroom Spawn Association. The team has developed a 'complete medium' system for shiitake mushroom cultivation, which includes a ready-to-use, bagged culture medium made of oak and pine sawdust and green onion. This innovation, four years in the making, promises to reduce incubation days by 12 and boost yield by 6%, thereby offering a route to lower operating costs and increase farm income. The product has been exported to Vietnam for further testing, marking a potential breakthrough in the mushroom industry, particularly for export markets.

A complete medium for mushrooms refers to a medium that has all the conditions for mushroom growth after inoculation of mushroom spawn on materials such as sawdust or rice straw, and complete mycelial culture. If mushroom growth conditions are provided on this medium, there is a convenient advantage that mushrooms can be produced immediately. Recently, the global trend in mushroom production, centered on shiitake mushrooms in China and mushroom mushrooms in Europe, is a trend to switch to a ‘complete medium’ system. In line with this trend, in 2018, the Chungbuk Agricultural Research and Extension Services began to develop a production technology for export-type finished culture media jointly with the Rural Development Administration and the Korea Mushroom Spawn Association, and it has reached today. The ready-made shiitake mushroom exported this time is the result of four years of research, and the composition ratio of the long-shaped medium (2.5kg/1 bag) is 40% oak sawdust + 40% ...
