2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the cultivation of mushrooms such as Bunashimeji or Eringii, in the sprouting step after scraping the bacteria, the humidity in the cultivation bottle is ensured, and the hyphae and the like caused by the direct blow of the air from the air conditioner. In order to prevent drying of the cultivation bins, a flexible transparent sheet member is put on a plurality of cultivation bottles arranged in the container.

However, the conventional method of covering such a sheet member has the following problems.

First, due to the irregular shape of the sheet member, environmental conditions such as humidity and carbon dioxide concentration in each cultivation bin differ, so that the quality of some cultivated mushrooms deteriorates. It is easy to cause variation in overall quality.

[0005] Secondly, water droplets due to dew condensation generated on the lower surface of the sheet member fall along the lower surface of the sheet member into a cultivation bottle, and germination failure tends to occur.

Third, since the sheet member is difficult to wash and is placed on the cultivation bottle in an unstable state, dust and various bacteria can easily enter the cultivation bottle, and can be attached to the cultivation bottle. Alternatively, there is also difficulty in workability when the user leaves.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and can improve the quality of mushrooms and homogenize the whole, and also effectively prevent poor germination and invasion of dust and various germs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cover for a mushroom cultivation bottle which is capable of improving workability.

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

First, in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, the structure of a mushroom cultivation bottle cover 1a in a basic form will be described with reference to FIGS.

The cover 1a according to the basic mode is integrally formed of a non-flexible material having high transparency, preferably a somewhat hard synthetic resin. The cover 1a is composed of a cover main body 2 and a cover side surface 3, and the cover main body 2 is formed to have a size that covers the mouth Bm of the cultivation bin B from above when it is put on the plurality of cultivation bins B. . In the illustrated example, 555 [cc] cultivation bottles B are arranged in a row of five vertically and horizontally to use for a container C containing a total of twenty-five bottles. Therefore, in this case, the cover body 2 is substantially square, and the four corners are formed round so as to be along the mouth Bm of the cultivation bottle B. If necessary, the cover main body 2 may be provided with one or more ventilation holes 11 (see FIG. 2). The small holes 11 for ventilation are the mouth Bm of each cultivation bottle B.
It is desirable that the diameter of one small ventilation hole 11 be about 2 [mm], and that the number be different depending on the type of mushroom. For example, in the case of Bunashimeji, it is desirable to have two, and in the case of Eringi, it is desirable to have four.

On the other hand, the cover side portion 3 extends downward at a right angle from the peripheral edge of the cover body portion 2 and, as shown in FIG. …
Are positioned by contacting the lower ends of the cover side portions 3 with the shoulder portions Bs of the cultivation bottles B at the same time. When the cover side surface 3 is positioned by the shoulders Bs, a ventilation space S is formed between the mouth Bm of the cultivation bin B and the cover main body 2 by a certain gap. In addition, a horizontal edge 12 extending outward is integrally provided at the lower end of the cover side surface 3. In this case, while considering not to project the horizontal edge 12 outward than the container C,
It is desirable that the inner surface of the right-angled portion of the cover side portion 3 from the main body side to the horizontal edge portion 12 be rounded in order to prevent damage when the mushroom hits.

Next, a method of using and a function of the mushroom cultivation bottle cover 1a according to the basic embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, a total of twenty-five mushroom cultivation bins B are arranged in the container C, and each mushroom cultivation bin B is in a state after the bacterial scraping is completed through the mycelium culturing step. At this time, the cover 1a is put on the cultivation bins B from above as shown in FIG. With this, cultivation bottle B…
Are directed upward, but the openings Bm are covered by the cover body 2 from above. .. Are also covered from the side by the cover side surface portion 3 to prevent the blowing of wind from the side.

On the other hand, the lower end of the cover side portion 3 is
The cover body 2 is positioned at a certain height with respect to the mouth Bm, and is fixed between the mouth Bm and the cover body 2. , A ventilation space S is formed. Ventilation to the cultivation bins B is performed by the ventilation space S. In this case, the ventilation space S
Since the height of the mushrooms is constant, the environment for germinating the mushrooms is maintained substantially constant, and the quality and homogeneity of the mushrooms are improved. Further, since the position of the cover side portion 3 is regulated in the front, rear, left and right directions by the neck portions Bn of the cultivation bins B, the cover 1a is attached to the cultivation bins B in a stable state, and the cover 1a is displaced or detached. No trouble occurs. In addition, by using such a cover 1a, the inside of the cultivation bins B is less susceptible to environmental changes in the cultivation room. As a result, an appropriate humidity and an appropriate carbon dioxide gas environment are maintained inside the cultivation bottles B, and the basic effects of promoting germination and generating excellent mushrooms are obtained.

The cover 1a is mounted until the sprouting step is completed. When the umbrella of the germinated sprout reaches about 1 to 2 mm, the cover 1a is detached from the cultivation bottle B. Let it grow. Specifically, in the case of Bunashimeji, 11 to 14 days after scraping the germs, and in the case of Elingii, 8 to 10 days after scraping of the germs, it is an indication of the mounting period of the cover 1a. When the cover 1a is detached, some mushrooms may already grow above the mouth portions Bm of the cultivation bottles B. However, the cover side surface portion 3 extends horizontally from the lower end to the outside. Since the edge portion 12 is provided, even if the lower end of the cover side surface portion 3 hits the mushroom, the problem that the mushroom is damaged can be avoided. In addition, since such a cover 1a has a certain shape, it is easy to clean even when it is soiled, and it is easy to attach to and detach from the cultivation bins B.

Next, a cover 1b for a mushroom cultivation bottle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The cover 1b according to the present embodiment covers a plurality of cultivation bins B ... stored in a container C similar to the basic form from above, and covers the upper part of the cultivation bins B ... from above.
Having. The cover main body 2 is provided with bin fitting portions 14 bulging upward at positions corresponding to the mouth portions Bm of the cultivation bins B. Therefore, each bin fitting portion 14
The position and quantity of ... are cultivation bins B arranged in container C
.. Correspond to the position and quantity of the mouths Bm. Thereby, each bin fitting portion 14 and the mouth Bm are fitted, and the cover 1b is positioned by the mouth Bm.

On the inner surface of each of the bin fitting portions 14, there is provided a groove-shaped air passage portion 13 which forms an air space S. In this embodiment, one bin fitting portion 14 is provided with four ventilation passage portions 13 arranged at regular intervals. On the other hand, the bin fitting portions 14 have cover surface portions 15 that cover the upper portions of the mouth portions Bm and that are higher on the center side than the peripheral side. The cover surfaces 15 in the embodiment are formed in a dome shape using a spherical surface, and the cover surfaces 15 are provided with one or more small holes 16 for ventilation. In this case, the small holes 16 for ventilation can be provided under the same conditions as the small holes 11 for ventilation described above.

Further, a cover side surface portion 3 extends below the peripheral edge of the cover body portion 2 and a horizontal edge portion 12 extends outward from the lower end of the cover side surface portion 3. In this case, the cover side part 3 is the cover 1a of the basic form.
Unlike the lower side, the lower side is inclined so as to expand outwardly, and the lower end does not abut on the shoulder Bs of the cultivation bottle B. For this reason,
It is not always necessary to provide the cover side surface portion 3 of this embodiment.

Therefore, the cover 1b according to the present embodiment can be used similarly to the cover 1a of the basic mode. Since the cover 1b according to the present embodiment has the cover surfaces 15 whose central side is higher than the peripheral side, even if water droplets due to condensation adhere to the lower surface of the cover surface portions 15, the water droplets are not covered by the cover surface portion 15.
.. Flows along the periphery, so that if the shape of the cover surface 15 is selected so that water drops fall outside the mouth Bm of the cultivation bin B, water drops fall into the cultivation bin B. Poor sprouting failure can be effectively avoided. Further, even if the mushrooms grow quickly, a space is secured by the cover surface portions 15 above the mouth portions Bm.
Problems that hinder the growth of mushrooms are avoided. Further, since the ventilation holes 16 are provided, the heat generated in the cultivation bins B generates an upward airflow, thereby preventing invasion of bacteria that are going to fall. In the cover 1b shown in FIG. 3, the same portions as those of the cover 1a shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals to clarify the configuration, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

Next, a reference example will be described with reference to FIGS.

The cover 1c shown in FIG. 4 is obtained by adding cover surfaces 15 provided on the cover 1b according to this embodiment to the cover 1a of the basic embodiment. Therefore, also in the cover 1c, there is an advantage that it is possible to effectively avoid poor sprouting caused by water drops due to condensation falling into the cultivation bins B. In the cover 1c shown in FIG. 4, the same portions as those of the cover 1a shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals to clarify the configuration, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The covers 1d shown in FIG. 5 are formed by extracting the individual bin fitting portions 14 from the cover 1b according to the present embodiment. Therefore, since the cover 1d can be attached to one cultivation bin B, the container C
Can be used without being affected by the size, the number and the position of the cultivation bottles B, etc., and the versatility and the degree of freedom during use can be increased. In the covers 1d shown in FIG. 5, the same parts as those of the cover 1b shown in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals to clarify the configuration, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In FIG. 5, reference numerals 17,... Denote flange portions projecting laterally outward from the lower end, and serve as slip stoppers when the cover 1d is attached or detached.

The embodiment has been described in detail above.
The present invention is not limited to such an embodiment,
The configuration, shape, method, material, numerical values, and the like of the details can be arbitrarily changed, added, or deleted without departing from the gist of the present invention.

For example, the cover 1b may be translucent. In addition, the case where the cover 1b is formed integrally includes a case where the cover 1b is finally formed integrally by combining members. Further, the non-flexible material includes a material having a certain shape even if it has a certain degree of flexibility. Further, the cover 1b is formed in a size of one container, but may be formed in a size when a plurality of containers are combined. On the other hand, the cover surfaces 15 are formed in a dome shape using a spherical surface, but may be in a conical shape or a pyramid shape, for example.
