South Korea: Ventilation and humidity management are required to produce high quality mushrooms

Tridge summary

The Chungnam-do Agricultural Technology Institute has issued a reminder to mushroom cultivation farms about the importance of humidity and ventilation management during winter. The institute warned that closing the cultivation door to regulate growth temperature can lead to increased carbon dioxide concentration, which can slow down growth or result in malformed mushrooms. Improper ventilation and fluctuating humidity levels due to temperature differences can cause fungal clustering and an increase in water mushrooms. The institute recommended maintaining the carbon dioxide concentration at around 0.1-0.3% and indoor humidity at 80-90% to minimize water mushrooms and malformed mushrooms.

(Hongseong = Yonhap News) Reporter Young-Seok Yang = Chungnam-do Agricultural Technology Institute advised mushroom cultivation farms on the 11th that proper humidity and ventilation management are necessary to produce high-quality mushrooms in winter. Mushroom cultivation farms close the cultivation door to adjust the growth temperature, and as a result, the increase in the internal carbon dioxide concentration may slow growth or cause malformed mushrooms to grow. If indoor ventilation is not performed properly and the condition of dry or excessively humid conditions is repeated due to temperature differences day and night, there is a tendency for fungal clustering and water mushrooms to increase. In order to minimize water mushrooms and malformed mushrooms, care should be taken to manage humidity and ventilation inside the cultivation house. Ventilate little by little between 1 and 2 pm when the outside temperature is high, and be careful not to let cold air directly touch the ...
