PATENT OFFICE.

The present invention aims at a planting site for the cultivation of mushrooms, in particular des mushroom, to create in the special form of beds in such a way lie on top of each other so that they are in intimate contact with each other through a surface. If such a bed is planted with mycelium, this will be the case with further growth The mycelium will communicate itself to the neighboring bed.

The simplest form of such a bed is obtained by blunting it ■ Hollow cone made of wooden staves, sheet metal, concrete or fired clay with the base falls on each other and unpacks the cavity with prepared horse manure. So you get a mushroom bed, which after removing the upper half of the mold as Truncated cone protrudes over the lower half, in which it remains for the duration of the culture. If you put several such beds with the blunt ends on top of each other, then one obtains a column with a circular cross-section which, in vertical section, has the shape 3 shows. To give this column, a bedding set, the necessary stability, spears the ready-packed beds are placed on a pointed iron rod, which is held in a tripod, the end . a strong wooden cross, or just stuck vertically in the ground.

It is of course completely indifferent

whether the beds instead of the cone shape are those of a truncated pyramid or a truncated wedge or a combination of the body shapes listed, as shown in the The drawing shows the bed (upper half of the truncated pyramid, lower half of the truncated wedge). All these embodiments have in common that several beds on top of each other can be set and there is still space between them for the action of the Let air on the substrate, therefore at this point the conditions for the development of the Mushrooms offer, while the top growth of the Mycels is passed from one bed to a following bed. Accordingly, one can be loaded with brood in the usual manner and overgrown primary bed in unlimited succession, secondary beds with mycelium be charged.

It is irrelevant for this process whether the following beds are placed on top and the ones that have been harvested be removed at the bottom or vice versa, since the fungal mycelium in all directions spreads evenly, i.e. it grows as well downwards as it does upwards. The setting down of the following bed can, however, be more convenient in practical use and be more advantageous and is illustrated in the drawing. Instead of that from a piece of existing iron rod can also be a composite rod made of in sliding sleeves and rods individually or several times, depending on the size of the bed be applied. As described above, the rod is pushed through the fertilizer or attached to the outside of the container, and

then in pairs. The latter arrangement is shown in the drawing. Fig. 1 shows a front view, Fig. 2 is a side view, Fig. 3 is a vertical section through a set of three beds placed one above the other, FIG. 4 shows a cross section and 5 shows a longitudinal section through the guides. Between two cross boards q in grooves η ίο two lengthways boards / are clamped in by the tie rods \ using screws ä. Since the longitudinal boards are at right angles to one another (<C a in Fig. 3), any displacement of the container is excluded. Placed on the floor, it has sufficient stability thanks to its cross boards. The cross boards q are with shallow Provide grooves in which perforated! I-iron are held with their open side on the cross boards by the tie rods \ and thus form sleeves for the guide rods f , which the latter prevent any lateral displacement of the beds placed on top of one another and still pursue the already mentioned purpose of holding the containers together. In addition, when the substrate shrinks due to fermentation of the fertilizer, this arrangement gives the beds the necessary guidance when they sink down in a vertical direction .30 dead weight of the beds maintains mutual contact. These devices can be omitted if the culture is operated with low bed sets, for example only two beds lying on top of each other, 'especially if the contact surface is kept slightly wider. h are hooks for lifting a bed set when putting down BEZW. Removing a flower bed; They are also used to connect two containers when packing the beds, if the upper one should be overturned as a form on the lower one (by means of a wire bundle or similar). The main advantages of the subject invention are in the increased security of the Success for the feeding of the beds with brood, in the multiple use of the Room, in the possibility of observing the utmost cleanliness when bringing in and Clearing of beds in the cultivation area and simplified work when packing the beds compared to the usual in mushroom cultivation Facilities and procedures. Ρλ τ en τ claim. Containers serving to hold mushroom substrates, characterized in that the beds formed by the containers and lying one on top of the other take the form of abutting, truncated cones, pyramids or the like. Have that are in contact by a surface below them, so that the tip growth of the Mycels from an overgrown bed is passed into the next bed, whereby the contact between the beds is through the Caused dead weight and maintained during the duration of the shrinkage of the substrate by sliding rods .will, while the exposed side surfaces of the beds are used to generate the Serving mushrooms. 1 sheet of drawings.
