Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention accommodates a large number of culture vessels in a suspended state at intervals in a culture chamber, and increases the light-receiving surface and air contact surface of the culture vessels as much as possible to increase the number of mycelia. The present invention relates to a cultivation device for cultivating edible mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms, which can promote growth and significantly increase yield by increasing the germination surface area.

Prior to the filing of this application, a culture device for edible mushrooms such as plug mushrooms, in which a large number of culture containers filled with culture material and their mouths sealed with cotton plugs were housed in a culture chamber to grow mycelia, had not been generally available before this application. It is well known and known.

By the way, in the case of the conventional seed culture device,
When storing a large number of culture vessels in a culture chamber, the culture vessels were placed on a culture shelf installed in the culture chamber so that they were in contact with each other. Both are blocked and are formed on the dead surface where light reception and air contact cannot be performed well.

Therefore, no matter how suitable the temperature and humidity conditions in the culture room are for mycelial growth, the dead side, which cannot receive light or come into contact with air, will inevitably fail to grow mycelium and cannot be used as a good germination surface. As a result, there is a drawback that the entire circumferential surface of the culture container cannot be effectively used as a good germination surface for mycelial growth, and there is a strong desire to improve this problem.

In view of the above, the present invention is based on a hanging material stretched inside the culture chamber, and the interior of the flexible bag has a germination surface that is highly transparent and air permeable on the entire circumference and is easily torn by mushroom growth. A large number of culture vessels are filled with culture material, the mouths are sealed with cotton plugs, and a shape-retaining cylinder with a flange for hanging is fitted around the outer periphery of the mouths. By suspending a large number of culture vessels, they can be easily housed in a culture chamber without forming dead surfaces, and the entire circumference of the vessels can receive good light and have good air contact, allowing for mycelial growth. The present invention aims to provide a culture device for culturing edible mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms, which can be cultured so that the entire circumferential surface of the culture container becomes a good germination surface. A preferred embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings will be described below.

In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a culture container for germinating edible mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms through the growth of mycelium. A culture material 3 obtained by mixing carefully selected sawdust and rice bran with water at a mixing ratio of approximately 4:1 is filled into the flexible bag 2, which has a breakable germination surface. The mouth part 4 is sealed with a cotton plug 5, and a shape-retaining cylinder 6 with a flange for suspension is fitted into the outer periphery of the mouth part 4, and the shape-retaining cylinder 6 with a flange is surrounded by the mouth part of the flexible bag 2. Deployment piece 2
The culture material 3 contains inoculum of edible mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms. The culture container 1 described above has an engaging portion 7a that engages with the flanged shape-retaining cylinder 6 so as to tighten the opening opening piece 2a.
The specimen is housed in the culture chamber A via a hanging device 7, which has a hook 7b provided at the lower end and a hook 7b at the upper end for hanging from a hanging material 8 stretched across the culture chamber A. Therefore, a large number of culture containers 1 are suspended at intervals from hanging members 8 stretched in a large number in the culture chamber A by hanging tools 7 engaged with a flanged shape-retaining cylinder 6. As a result, the entire circumferential surface of the culture medium 1 can be formed into a germination generation surface that is highly light-receiving and air-permeable.

In addition to providing a large number of hanging materials 8... to be stretched directly into the culture chamber A, a large number of hanging materials 8... may be horizontally hung at intervals within a generation shelf 9 as in the other example shown in FIG. A large number of culture vessels 1 may be suspended at intervals.

10 is a planting lamp provided in the culture chamber A.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.

Now, fill the opening 4 of the flexible bag 2 with an appropriate amount of the culture material 3 containing the inoculum, and then After fitting the flanged shape-retaining cylinder 6 to the outer periphery of the mouth part 4, the periphery of the flanged shape-retaining cylinder 6 is covered with the mouth part expansion piece 2a, and the mouth part 4 is sealed with a cotton plug 5, and the culture container 1 is closed. to form. Once the culture container 1 has been obtained in this way, the engaging part 7a of the hanging tool 7 is engaged with the flanged shape-retaining cylinder 6 so that the opening opening piece 2a is just tightened. After that, the large number of culture vessels 1 are suspended from a large number of hanging members 8 stretched in the culture chamber A at successive intervals via hooks 7b.

The culture vessels 1, which are housed in a suspended state in a large number in the culture chamber A, have their entire circumferential surface open, which improves not only their light-receiving properties but also their air permeability. and the air contact surface is also increased. As a result, the culture material 3 housed inside is cultured so that the entire periphery becomes a dark brown skin by promoting the uniform growth of hyphae.

Therefore, if the culture container 1 that has been completely cultured is moved and housed in the germination chamber (not shown), germination will occur because the entire circumferential surface of the culture container 1 is formed into a good germination generation surface. This is something that can increase sales by improving the ratio.

In short, the present invention has the hanging material 8 stretched in the culture chamber A with high light and air permeability on the entire circumferential surface.
A culture material 3 is filled inside a flexible bag 2 with a germination surface that can be easily torn by mushroom growth, and a mouth 4 is sealed with a cotton plug 5, and a flange for hanging is provided around the outside of the mouth 4. Since a large number of culture vessels 1 fitted with retaining cylinders 6 are suspended at intervals through the hanging devices 7, the entire circumferential surface of the large number of culture vessels 1 is covered during the culture period in the culture room A. Formed on an effective surface that receives good light and air contact, it completely eliminates the dead surface seen in conventional culture devices, promotes the growth of mycelia evenly, and makes the entire circumference of the culture container 1 a germination surface. The culture container 1 in a suspended state can be freely moved along the hanging material 8, or can be freely attached and detached, which makes it possible to increase the yield of edible mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms. Not only can this be easily achieved with labor savings, but it also has the practical effect of being able to accommodate a large number of culture vessels 1 in the culture chamber A and efficiently perform culture work.
