Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a shaping cap that fits into the mouth of a cultivation bottle used for artificial cultivation of mushrooms and shapes the shape of the mushroom that grows, especially shaping for mushroom cultivation that can drain excess water accumulated in the cap. It is about the cap.

[0002]

[Prior art and problems]

 Conventionally, in the artificial cultivation of mushrooms, a culture medium made mainly of sawdust is packed in a culture bottle, inoculated with inoculum, germinated from the fungal bed in the bottle mouth, and mushrooms are grown above the bottle mouth. It is a thing. However, as mushrooms grew, some mushrooms went up to the top of the bottle and spread to the side, and many mushrooms with irregular shapes and low commercial value were harvested.

[0003] Therefore, there has been devised a shaping cap that shapes the shape of mushrooms that grow by being fitted into the bottle mouth of a cultivation bottle, and this shaping cap has been fitted into the bottle mouth for cultivation. It is possible to harvest mushrooms that are well-shaped and have high commercial value by using a reliable shaping cap, but it becomes more difficult to manage hydration, which is very important in artificial cultivation of mushrooms. It was

Originally, water is essential for the growth of mushrooms, and the same is true when growing mushrooms by artificial cultivation, and the growth depends on the ratio of water contained in the culture medium. This is because the culture medium in the bottle must hold a certain amount of water. This is because if the culture medium is cultivated in a water-deficient state, the fruiting bodies will not develop well, and sometimes germination will not occur. Also, if the culture medium is cultivated with an excessive amount of water, the absolute amount of sawdust will be insufficient due to the large amount of water and nutrients will be insufficient, which will delay the growth of mycelium. From the above, it is very important to control hydration in the artificial cultivation of mushrooms.

When the shaping cap is fitted into the bottle, the water sprayed for water supply tends to accumulate in the shaping cap, and the excess water causes poor hyphal elongation and root rot of the seeds. Then, there is a problem that the yield is reduced. In addition, it takes a lot of manpower and time to drain the water that accumulates at each spray in order not to reduce the yield, which is extremely disadvantageous in mass production.

[0006]

【Purpose】

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and even if the amount of water sprayed for hydration is too large, a shaping cap is provided so that the amount of water supplied to the culture medium in the cultivation bottle is appropriate. It is intended to be provided.

[0007]

[Means for solving the problem]

 The gist of the present invention is that a fitting part having an inner peripheral wall that fits in the mouth of a culture bottle, a horizontal part that extends horizontally above the inner peripheral wall, and extends vertically upward from the outer end of the horizontal part. An orthopedic cap for mushroom cultivation, comprising a vertical wall and a shaping wall extending upward from the vertical wall and having a plurality of drainage holes in a horizontal portion extending from the vertical wall and the inner peripheral wall. . The orthopedic cap of the present invention is a vertically capped cylindrical cap that fits inside the mouth of a culture bottle used for mushroom cultivation, and may be fitted slightly tightly depending on the type of mushroom. Mushrooms are enoki mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc., although the type is not particularly limited, but they are suitable for mushroom cultivation consisting of multiple fruiting bodies such as enoki mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms.

The shaping cap has an inner peripheral wall for fitting into the bottle mouth, and a horizontal portion is provided from the upper end of the inner peripheral wall so as to extend in the horizontal outward direction, and excess water is drained to this horizontal portion. A drainage hole is provided. The number and shape of the water drainage holes are not particularly limited, and may be any shape suitable for draining water. In addition, the width of the horizontal part is preferably wider than the thickness of the mouth of the culture bottle, and the width is not particularly limited as long as it does not hinder the excess water drainage. Good.

A vertical wall extends vertically upward from the outer end of the horizontal portion where the drainage hole is provided, and the vertical wall is also provided with the drainage hole. The number and shape of the water drainage holes in the vertical wall are not particularly limited, and may be any shape suitable for draining water. The height of the vertical wall is not particularly limited as long as it does not hinder the drainage of water, and may be set to an optimum height. Further, the vertical wall may extend substantially vertically below the outer end of the horizontal portion, and the periphery of the mouth of the culture bottle may be sandwiched between the inner peripheral wall and the vertical wall.

Further, a shaping wall is formed above the vertical wall and extends in a divergent shape. It is appropriate that the rising angle from the inside to the outside of this shaped wall is about 30 to 60 degrees, but the fanning state during growth differs depending on the type of mushroom, and there are problems such as packaging, etc. It is not limited to. When further shaping the shape, the upper part of the diverging shaped shaping wall may be made almost vertical, and the height of the vertical portion may be set to an optimum height depending on the type of mushroom.

[0011]

[Action]

 Since the shaping cap of the present invention is configured as described above, after inoculating the inoculum into the culture medium in the cultivation bottle, the shaping cap of the present invention is fitted into the bottle mouth of the cultivation bottle to grow mushrooms. By doing so, even if the amount of water sprayed for hydration in each process such as culturing, germination and growth is too large, excess water is quickly drained from the drainage holes provided on the vertical wall and horizontal part of the shaping cap. Then, the culture medium is supplemented with an appropriate amount of water. Also, after the excess water is drained, this drain hole functions as a vent hole to prevent obstacles due to stuffiness. Then, when the fruiting body grows, the lateral spread is regulated by the shaping wall, and the shape of the whole mushroom is adjusted.

[0012]

【Example】

 In the figure, 1 is a shaping cap for mushroom cultivation according to the present invention, 2 is a culture bottle equipped with a shaping cap, 3 is a culture medium filled in the culture bottle 2, and 4 is a mushroom grown from the culture medium 3. Is.

The orthopedic cap 1 for mushroom cultivation has an inner peripheral wall 5 for fitting in the bottle mouth 22, and a horizontal portion 7 is provided from the upper end 51 of the inner peripheral wall 5 to extend in the horizontal outward direction. The horizontal portion 7 is provided with a drain hole 10A for draining excess water. A vertical wall 8 extends vertically upward from the outer end 71 of the horizontal portion 7 in which the drainage hole 10A is provided, and the vertical wall 8 is also provided with a drainage hole 10B. Alternatively, the vertical wall 8 may extend substantially vertically below the outer end 71 of the horizontal portion 7, and the periphery of the bottle mouth 21 of the culture bottle 2 may be sandwiched between the inner peripheral wall 5 and the extension portion 81 of the vertical wall 8. Further, a shaping wall 9 is formed above the vertical wall 8 and extends in a divergent shape, and a vertical portion 11 extends above the shaping wall 9.

[0014]

【effect】

 As described above, the shaping cap of the present invention has the drainage holes in the vertical wall and the horizontal portion of the shaping cap, so that extra water may be accumulated in the shaping cap when water is replenished or due to high humidity. However, it is discharged quickly and does not adversely affect the culture medium in the bottle, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of poor hyphal elongation and root rot of stones. In addition, after the excess water is drained, the drainage hole functions as a vent hole, so it is possible to prevent obstacles due to stuffiness that often occurs in the culture process, and to increase the mushroom harvest rate. .

[0015] Furthermore, since the upper part of the diverging shaped shaping wall is almost vertical, it expands upward while having a certain lateral spread as the mushroom grows, so a mushroom with good shape and high commercial value is harvested. it can.
