[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a mushroom cultivator, which can easily enjoy cultivation of mushrooms, especially mushrooms (scientific name: Pleurotus eryngii) in a garden.

[0002]

[Prior art and problems]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, shiitake mushroom cultivating tools using raw wood have been known as mushroom cultivating tools that allow people to easily enjoy mushroom cultivation in general households.

By the way, many mushrooms are cultivated in cultivation bottles, such as honshimeji mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and shiifurifuri mushrooms. However, mushrooms grown in bottles are easy to manage because the cultivation environment is not easy to manage. The reality is that it is not possible to put into practical use cultivation tools for ordinary households that allow fun cultivation of mushrooms.

The present invention has solved the problems existing in such conventional techniques. In particular, as a mushroom to be cultivated, attention has been paid to shiifuri mushrooms, and bottle cultivation of mushrooms can be easily carried out in general households and the like. The purpose is to provide fun mushroom cultivators.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A mushroom cultivator 1 according to the present invention contains therein a mushroom medium 3, specifically a mushroom medium 3 inoculated with inoculum of inoculum of mushrooms, and a cultivator body 2 having an opening 4 at the upper end, and a water It is characterized by comprising a humidifying section 5 having a water-absorbing material 6 capable of holding. In this case, the humidifying section 5 serves not only as a cap 5c that can be attached to the upper end side of the cultivating device main body 2 but also as a support base 5b that can be attached to the lower end side of the cultivating device main body 2. In addition, the humidifying part 5 is provided with vent holes 7 ... By which the inside and the outside communicate with each other when the humidifying part 5 is attached to the main body 2 of the incubator.

[0006]

According to the mushroom cultivator 1 according to the present invention, the mushroom cultivator main body 2 contains the mushroom medium 3 inoculated with the inoculum of the mushroom. Therefore, if the seller cultivates and sells the hyphae, the buyer can perform the subsequent cultivation process himself.

That is, the purchaser first scratches the infested hyphae. On the other hand, the water absorbing material 6 of the humidifying section 5 contains water. Then, the humidifying section 5 is attached to the upper end side of the cultivating apparatus main body 2 and used as a cap 5c, and the cultivating apparatus main body section 2 to which the humidifying section 5 is attached is left upside down. As a result, an appropriate humidity is maintained inside the cap 5c, and the cap 5c sprouts.

On the other hand, after the sprouting, the humidifying part 5 (cap 5c) is removed from the cultivating device main body 2 and attached to the lower end side of the cultivating device main part 2, and the humidifying part 5 is used as a support base 5b. In this case, since the support base 5b has the ventilation holes 7 that allow the inside and the outside to communicate with each other, for example, by placing the incubator main body 2 with the support base 5b in the bag, The inside is maintained at an appropriate humidity. Therefore, shiifurifuri mushrooms grow and grow when they grow.

With such a mushroom cultivator 1, it is possible to easily enjoy mushroom (shimofuri mushroom) bottle cultivation in a general home or the like.

【Example】

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

First, the configuration of the mushroom cultivator 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a bottle container portion 2a, a bottle shoulder portion 2b squeezed in a taper shape from the upper end of the bottle container portion 2a toward the center side, and a start-up from the upper end of the bottle shoulder portion 2b. It is a main part of the incubator formed into a bottle shape by the bottle mouth portion 2c, and the upper end of the bottle mouth portion 2c becomes the opening 4. In addition, inside the cultivator main body 2, a mushroom medium 3 inoculated with inoculum of sushi mushrooms is stored.

On the other hand, 5 is a humidifying portion, which is formed as a cap 5c that can be attached (fitted) to the upper end of the bottle container portion 2a of the incubator body portion 2. Then, on the inner surface of the cap 5c, a water-absorbent material 6 using water-absorbent cotton or sponge capable of holding water is attached, and when the water-absorbent material 6 is attached to the incubator main body part 2, a plurality of parts for communicating the inside and the outside are attached. Ventilation holes 7 are provided by small holes. In addition, 10 is a protrusion provided on the inner surface of the cap 5c, and has a function of contacting the bottle shoulder portion 2b and positioning when the cap 5c is attached to the bottle container portion 2a. Since the humidifying part 5 is configured in this way, it can be mounted on the lower end side of the cultivation device main body 2 and used as the support base 5b.

Next, a method for cultivating shimofuri mushroom using the mushroom cultivator 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, on the seller's side, the mushroom medium 3 is housed in the cultivating device main body 2, inoculated with the inoculum of the syrup, and the mycelium Mo is cultivated for sale.

On the other hand, the purchaser performs the subsequent cultivation process himself. First, the purchaser scratches the infested mycelium Mo with fungi, after which water is given and left for 3 to 5 hours. Next, the water absorbent 6 of the humidifying section 5 is made to contain water, and the humidifying section 5 is attached to the upper end side of the incubator main body 2 and used as the cap 5c. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the incubator main body part 2 equipped with the humidifying part 5 is left upside down. As a result, the inside of the cap 5c maintains an appropriate humidity, and sprouting occurs after 10 to 12 days.

On the other hand, after the sprouting, the humidifying part 5 (cap 5c) is removed from the cultivating device main body 2 and mounted on the lower end side of the cultivating device main part 2 to use the humidifying part 5 as a support 5b. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the incubator main body part 2 having the support 5b mounted therein is placed in a transparent synthetic resin bag 11. At this time, the opening side of the bag 11 is squeezed by a stopper 12 such as a cord or a rubber band to secure an appropriate air passage. As a result, since the support base 5b has the vent holes 7 ... That allow the inside and the outside to communicate with each other, the inside of the bag 11 is maintained at an appropriate humidity and is grown. In this case, it can be left at room temperature, and the growth will be faster if the temperature is higher and slower if the temperature is lower. Then, about one week after the sprouting, the shiifururi mushrooms M ... of a size that can be harvested grow. Furthermore, after harvesting, by repeating the above operations, cultivation can be carried out two to three times.

By using the mushroom cultivator 1 as described above, bottle cultivation of mushrooms (Shimofuri Mushroom M ...) can be easily enjoyed even at home and the like, and can also be used for teaching materials and ornamental purposes.

Although the embodiments have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments. For example, although the incubator main body 2 is put in the bag 11 at the time of growth, it may be put in another similar space such as a cupboard. As an example of mushrooms, sushi furitake mushrooms have been exemplified, but other mushrooms can be applied to Yanagi Matsutake, Nameko, and Shiitake mushrooms. In addition, the detailed configuration, shape, material and the like can be arbitrarily changed without departing from the scope of the present invention.
