Description

  The present invention relates to a cultivation aid for a mushroom cultivation bottle in which a predetermined through hole is provided in a cover portion that covers an upper end of a cylindrical attachment / detachment portion that is attached to / detached from a bottle mouth portion of a mushroom cultivation bottle.

  In general, bottle cultivation in which mushroom cultivation bins are used to cultivate mushrooms such as sea cucumbers and beech shimeji mushrooms is widely known. In addition, in such bottle cultivation, there is also known a cap that is attached to the mouth of a mushroom cultivation bottle so that larger mushrooms can be harvested. A predetermined through hole is provided to allow the growth of mushrooms from the inside to the outside.

  Conventionally, as a cap used for such a purpose, a cap for mushroom cultivation disclosed in Patent Document 1 and a cap disclosed in Patent Document 2 are known. The former cap is intended for harvesting sea cucumbers with thick stems and large umbrellas. It is a cap for cultivation of mushrooms that is detachably provided on the cultivation bottle of mushrooms and covers the bottle mouth with a lid. The cover part has four through-holes through which the fruit bodies of the mushrooms pass, and when attached to the cultivation bottle, the through-holes are formed on the upper surface of the culture medium for mushroom cultivation in the cultivation bottle. It is comprised so that light may be irradiated only through. The latter cap is intended for harvesting mushrooms with a large proportion of edible part, and is used by attaching to the bottle mouth of the cultivation container after cultivation, and the total opening area is the cultivation container.

  However, the conventional cap (cultivation aid for mushroom cultivation bottle) described above has the following problems.

  First, even if the goal of obtaining large mushrooms can be achieved, no further benefits can be obtained. Therefore, even if the merchantability from the viewpoint of the shape of the mushroom can be improved, it is not necessarily sufficient from the viewpoint of including the merit of the mushroom, such as increasing the density of the whole mushroom strain. .

  Secondly, in Patent Document 1, the total effective opening area is reduced by suppressing the number of through-holes through which the mushroom passes, and the whole is formed of a light-shielding material. Suppress the growth of mushrooms, such as by forming a plurality of through-holes that are selected to be 30% or less of the opening area of the cultivation container and entering the cultivation container when the lid is attached to the bottle mouth Since this method is employed, a lot of parts are wasted, which is not always desirable from the viewpoint of increasing cultivation efficiency.

  Thirdly, when packaging and selling mushrooms with a cap attached, it is desirable that the cap be as inconspicuous as possible. However, in Patent Document 1, the whole is made of a light-shielding material, and in Patent Document 2, It is not necessarily sufficient from the viewpoint of making the cap as inconspicuous as possible, such as forming it so as to enter the cultivation container when the lid is attached to the bottle mouth.

  This invention aims at provision of the cultivation auxiliary tool for mushroom cultivation bottles which solved the subject which exists in such background art.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention covers a cylindrical attachment / detachment portion 2 that is attached to and detached from the bottle mouth portion Bo of the mushroom cultivation bin B, and covers the upper end of the attachment / detachment portion 2 and from the inside of the mushroom cultivation bin B to the outside.

  Next, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be given and described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  First, the structure of the cultivation aid 1 for mushroom cultivation bottles according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The cultivation auxiliary tool 1 is roughly divided and includes a cylindrical attachment / detachment portion 2 and a cover portion 3 that covers the upper end of the attachment / detachment portion 2, and the whole is integrally formed of a plastic material R. As the plastic material R, a light-transmitting plastic material R such as polypropylene is used, and the whole is integrally molded by an injection mold or the like. Therefore, the cultivation auxiliary tool 1 gives translucency by forming the whole in translucent, such as milky white. As described above, if the film is semi-transparent, the light transmittance can be slightly reduced, and the light transmittance can be adjusted as necessary.

As shown in FIG. 3, the detachable portion 2 is formed in a flat cylindrical shape, and an inner diameter is selected so as to be detachably attached to the outer peripheral surface of the bin mouth portion Bo of the mushroom cultivation bin B. The exemplified cultivation aid 1 is assumed to be used for the most common mushroom cultivation bin B (capacity: 800 cm ³ ) in which the outer diameter of the bin mouth portion Bo is 80 mm. Further, at the lower end position on the outer peripheral surface of the detachable portion 2, a ring-shaped flange portion 21 protruding at right angles to the outside (radial direction) is integrally formed, and on the inner peripheral surface of the detachable portion 2, the circumferential direction Four engaging projections 22 arranged at regular intervals are integrally formed. In this case, the heel part 21 is used as a handle when the cultivation aid 1 is detached from the bottle mouth part Bo by an automatic machine or manually, and the engagement protrusions 22... When it is mounted on the mouth portion Bo, it is engaged with the thick edge portion Bos formed at the upper end of the bin mouth portion Bo, so that the retaining is achieved.

  The cover portion 3 is formed in a flat sheet shape covering the upper end of the detachable portion 2, and a predetermined through hole portion 3 h is formed in the surface of the detachable portion 2. In accordance with the present invention, the through holes 3h are selected to have the most suitable opening area for the growth of the mushrooms M ..., and are arranged at predetermined locations, and the main through holes 3hm ... The opening area is selected to be smaller than that of the main through hole 3hm, and a plurality of sub through holes 3hs arranged in a portion other than the main through hole 3hm are combined. Therefore, the through-hole portion 3h has a function of allowing the growth of the mushrooms M ... from the inside of the mushroom cultivation bin B to the outside.

  When the through hole 3h is provided in the cover 3, as shown in FIG. 2, a ring that does not form the through hole 3h having a width Lr of 5 to 10 mm from the outer peripheral edge of the cover 3 to the center side. A forbidden formation prohibition region An is provided. In the case of illustration, the width dimension Lr was selected to be 8 mm. Providing such a formation-prohibited region An can prevent the mushroom M from extending sideways and drooping, and can prevent the invasion of miscellaneous bacteria into the mushroom cultivation bin B. be able to.

  Further, the total opening area Sh of the through-hole portion 3h is selected to be 30 to 90% of the entire area Sa of the covering portion 3. If the total opening area Sh of the through-hole portion 3h is set to such a condition, the suppression of the growth of the mushroom M is eliminated together with the formation of the plastic material R having translucency. Thereby, there is no waste in growth and the cultivation efficiency of the mushroom M can be increased. As a result, for example, it is possible to contribute to downsizing of the mushroom cultivation bin B, more flexible selection of the mushroom medium, and the like. There is.

  On the other hand, at least five main through holes 3hm are formed. In the illustrated example, the number of the main through holes 3hm is seven, and one main through hole 3hm is formed at the center of the cover 3, and six main through holes are formed around the main through hole 3hm. The portions 3hm are formed at regular intervals along the circumferential direction, thereby ensuring the overall symmetry. Each main through hole 3hm has the same size and shape, and the illustrated main through hole 3hm is circular. The selection of the diameter Lm varies depending on the type of mushroom to be cultivated, but it is usually desirable to select from a range of 12 to 20 mm. For example, in the cultivation of sea cucumber, the diameter Lm can be selected to be 17 mm so that the opening area is most suitable for the growth of sea cucumber.

  Further, the sub through holes 3hs are provided by using parts other than the main through holes 3hm. When providing the through holes 3h, the main through holes 3hm are preferentially provided, and the sub through holes 3hs are provided using the remaining portions other than the main through holes 3hm. Therefore, there are no restrictions on the number of sub-holes 3hs ... provided, and any number can be provided as long as the mechanical strength (physical strength) of the cover 3 is not impaired. The size and shape of each of the sub through holes 3hs are the same, and the illustrated sub through holes 3hs are circular. The diameter Ls of the sub through hole 3hs can be selected from a range of 4 to 7 mm. Normally, if the main through holes 3hm are selected, the outer diameter of the cover 3 is determined, and therefore the number and the diameter Ls of the sub through holes 3hs are naturally determined. In the example, the diameter Ls is 5 mm, and a total of twelve sub through holes 3 hs... Are distributed in consideration of the overall symmetry.

  As described above, the diameter dimension (or width dimension) Lm of the main through hole 3hm is selected to be 12 to 20 mm, and at least five or more are formed, and the diameter dimension (or width dimension) Ls of the sub through hole 3hs is formed. If 4 to 7 mm is selected, the cultivation aid 1 according to the present embodiment can be further optimized, so that mushrooms can be obtained by increasing the density of the mushroom strain while ensuring merchandise that is good in shape. The effect of enhancing the merchantability of the content can be made more effective.

  Next, the usage method and function (action) of the cultivation aid 1 for mushroom cultivation bottles according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  An example is the cultivation of nameko (mushroom M). In addition, the well-known bottle cultivation method with respect to Nameko M can be applied to the basic process and conditions of cultivation. First, the mushroom cultivation bottle B is filled with the mushroom medium E by the medium filling step. Next, the mushroom cultivation bottle B filled with the mushroom medium E is sterilized by a sterilization process. When the sterilization process is completed, the sterilization treatment is performed, and the top surface of the mushroom medium E is inoculated with the inoculum of the nameko.

  Thereafter, the mushroom cultivation bins B are accommodated in the culture chamber, and the mycelium is cultured by the culture process. Then, if the mycelium spreads, the necessary fungi are scraped off, housed in the germination chamber, and sprouting by the sprouting process. At this time, the mushroom cultivation bottle cultivation auxiliary tool 1 according to the present embodiment is attached to the bottle mouth portion Bo of the mushroom cultivation bottle B before buds emerge. Since the cultivation assistance tool 1 has translucency as a whole, as shown in FIG. 3, not only the direct light Co that passes through the main through holes 3hm (and the sub through holes 3hs) but also the main through holes. Both the transmitted light C that passes through parts other than the part 3hm ... and the sub-passage part 3hs ... enter the inside of the mushroom cultivation bin B, and the growth in the budding process is promoted.

  After sprouting, the fruit body of the nameko grows and grows to the outside through the main through hole 3hm ..., and the fruit body in a part other than the main through hole 3hm ... grows somewhat late, and the sub through hole 3hs. Grows outside through…. In this case, since the plurality of main through holes 3hm are selected to have the most suitable opening area for the growth of the nameko and are arranged in a predetermined portion, as shown in FIG. 4, the shape is relatively large. Can be aligned with Nameko (Mm ...). In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of sub through holes 3 hs... Which are selected to have an opening area smaller than that of the main through holes 3 hm and are arranged in parts other than the main through holes 3 hm. Nameko (Ms...) That fills the gaps between the arranged relatively large namesko (Mm...) Can be grown. Accordingly, the content of the mushroom can be enhanced by increasing the density of the mushroom strain while ensuring the product with good shape.

  On the other hand, sea cucumbers (Mm..., Ms...) Grow and harvest when the harvest time comes. At the time of harvesting, it can be easily harvested by lifting the ridge part 21 of the cultivation aid 1 by an automated machine or manually. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the entire nameko (Mm..., Ms...) Including the cultivation aid 1 may be wrapped with the wrapping film F. At this time, the root of the sea cucumber (Mm..., Ms...) Is in a state where a waste medium is attached, but this waste medium is covered with the inside of the cultivation aid 1. Note that the fastening portion Fc of the wrapping film F may be disposed below the cultivation aid 1. Thus, by including the cultivation aid 1, it is possible to prevent strains of stock mushrooms such as nameko. On the other hand, since the upper surface of the cultivation aid 1 is formed flat, for example, by sliding a knife or the like on the upper surface of the cultivation aid 1, the nameko projecting from the upper surface of the cultivation aid 1 (Mm... Ms...) Can be easily detached from the cultivation aid 1 and the waste medium, so that the resulting nameko (Mm..., Ms...) May be packaged by bagging or the like.

  As described above, the cultivation aid 1 is integrally formed of the transparent plastic material R, and the flat cover portion 3 includes a plurality of main through-hole portions 3hm and the main through-hole portions 3hm. Since the plurality of sub-holes 3hs... Having a small opening area are provided, they can be easily manufactured because of their simple shape, and they are cultivated even when they are packaged and sold with the cultivation aid 1 attached to the mushroom M. The auxiliary tool 1 can be made inconspicuous. Therefore, mushrooms become more conspicuous, and from this point of view, there is an advantage that it is possible to contribute to improvement of merchantability.
