Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mushroom cultivation apparatus mainly used for cultivation of mushrooms such as boiled mushrooms, and a mushroom cultivation method using the apparatus.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, artificial cultivation of mushrooms such as boiled mushrooms has been actively performed. In the artificial cultivation of mushrooms, a medium obtained by mixing rice bran and water with sawdust or corn cob is used. The medium is used by being filled in a mushroom cultivation bottle made of polypropylene.

[0003] When artificial mushrooms are cultivated using a medium filled in a mushroom cultivation bottle, the seed mushroom is inoculated into the medium filled in the mushroom cultivation bottle. The mushroom mycelium is spread on the medium. Next, mushrooms are germinated from the mycelia of the mushrooms that have spread on the medium, and the mushrooms are grown to a harvestable size.

[0004] Before germinating mushrooms from mushroom mycelium, a bacterium is removed to remove old and weakened mushroom hypha attached to the upper surface of the culture medium. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the mushroom cultivation bottle 20 filled with the medium having been deficient in the bacterium was placed in a growth room 7 maintained under predetermined artificial weather conditions.
The germination chamber 60 has also been moved to 0. Then, the mushroom cultivation bottle 20 is placed on the germination shelf 16 above the mushroom cultivation shelf 10 installed in the germination room 60 also serving as the growth room 70. Then, the mushroom cultivation bottle 20 placed on the germination shelf 16
Mushrooms are sprouting from the medium inside. Next, the mushroom cultivation bottle 20 cultivating the mushrooms that have finished sprouting.
Is transferred to the growth shelf 18 at the bottom of the mushroom cultivation shelf 10 placed in the germination room 60 also serving as the same growth room 70, and the mushroom germinated from the culture medium in the growth shelf 18 and the mushroom cultivation bottle 20 is Growing to a harvestable size.

The upper and lower intervals of the germination shelves 16 in the upper part of the mushroom cultivation shelf 10 placed in the germination room 60 also serving as the growth room 70 are kept slightly larger than the length of the mushroom cultivation bottle 20. . On the other hand, the vertical spacing of the multi-stage growing shelves 18 below the mushroom cultivation shelf 10 is kept approximately twice as large as the vertical spacing of the germinating shelves 16. The reason for this is that a fluorescent lamp 50 is provided on the lower surface of the growth shelf 18 or the lower surface of the germination shelf 16 corresponding to the ceiling surface above the growth shelf 18. Then, it is necessary to irradiate the mushrooms growing in the mushroom cultivation bottle 20 placed on the growth shelf 18 with the fluorescent light 50. This is because it is necessary to color the growing mushroom or to shape the umbrella of the growing mushroom.

The reason for using such a mushroom cultivation shelf 10 in artificial mushroom cultivation is that the space between the germination shelves 16 and the respective growth shelves 18 of the mushroom cultivation shelf is narrowed to the minimum necessary for growing the growth room 70. Mushroom cultivation bottle 20 cultivating mushroom in germination room 60 or container 30 containing the bottle
Is stored in a large number of stages up and down without leaving useless space.

[0007]

However, when the artificial cultivation of mushrooms is performed as described above, the germination of the upper part of the mushroom cultivation shelf 10 placed in the germination room 60 also serving as the growth room 70 is performed. Transferring the mushroom cultivation bottle 20 that is currently cultivating the mushrooms that have finished sprouting from the shelf 16 to the growth shelf 18 at the bottom of the mushroom cultivation shelf 10 requires a great deal of labor and labor, and labor saving of artificial mushroom cultivation. It was a bottleneck when planning.

In many cases, mushroom cultivation bottles 20 for cultivating mushrooms are collectively housed in containers 30 as shown in FIG. 4, and are handled or transported. Therefore, in order to transfer the heavy container 30 containing the plurality of mushroom cultivation bottles 20 filled with the culture medium for growing the mushroom from the germination shelf 16 to the growth shelf 18 as described above, It took a lot of effort.

According to the present invention, there is provided a mushroom cultivation bottle for cultivating mushrooms or a container accommodating the bottle between a germination shelf at an upper portion of a mushroom cultivation shelf and a growth shelf at a lower portion of the germination shelf. An object of the present invention is to provide a mushroom cultivation apparatus and a method for cultivating a mushroom using the cultivation apparatus, which can eliminate the troublesome and labor-intensive operation of moving.

[0010]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, a mushroom cultivation shelf of the present invention is a mushroom cultivation shelf provided with a plurality of shelves arranged vertically, wherein each of the plurality of shelves is provided.
