No. 3-56770 is known.

According to this structure, a paper winding guide member for winding up the paper for cultivation (encapsulation mushroom fall prevention paper) is provided so as to face the upper part of the mouth of the cultivation container for the mushrooms, and the paper winding guide member is rotatably provided. The lower end of the paper wound up on the paper is held and fixed to the outer circumference of the mouth of the cultivation container by a C-shaped clip member.

However, in the above structure, when the paper winding guide member is rotated to wind the paper around the peripheral surface of the paper winding guide member, since the cultivation container is in a fixed state, it grows and projects from the mouth of the paper and the cultivation container. There was a problem that the enoki mushrooms rub against each other and the enoki mushrooms are damaged.

Therefore, the present applicant invented Japanese Patent Publication No. 20209/1990 in order to solve this problem. This structure is a structure in which several claws for holding the periphery of the mouth part of the lower cultivation container are hung vertically to the paper winding guide member, and when the paper is wound, the cultivation container is held by the claws to guide the paper winding guide member. At the same time, the cultivation container is rotated to eliminate the friction between the paper and the mushrooms to prevent damage to the mushrooms.
