A new technique for planting shiitake mushrooms in high mountainous areas

Shiitake mushrooms are a type of temperature-sensitive, solid-state fungus that thrives under significant day-to-night temperature fluctuations, often exceeding 10°C. This unique characteristic contributes to their robust growth, high yield, thick and flavorful flesh, and overall superior quality. In high-altitude cold regions during spring and summer, the temperature difference between day and night is typically large, often surpassing 10°C, making it an ideal environment for shiitake cultivation. Under such conditions, per mu (approximately 667 square meters) yields can reach up to 3,000 to 4,000 kilograms. Cultivating shiitake in alpine areas represents a new agricultural model following traditional log and bag cultivation methods, and it has become a promising project for people living in mountainous regions to improve their livelihoods and escape poverty. The general sowing period for shiitake cultivation is usually from April 20th to May 10th each year, with early sowing encouraged based on annual temperature variations. The growing season typically ends by late May or mid-June. For ground cultivation, natural temperature and low humidity are primarily relied upon. The selected strains should be medium- or low-temperature varieties, with optimal mushrooming temperatures ranging from 10°C to 25°C. This makes management easier during hot summer months, while also ensuring high yields. There are two main formulas used for the cultivation substrate: **Formula 1**: Sawdust 80%, wheat bran 5%, rice bran 10%, cornmeal 3%, urea 0.3%, gypsum 1.5%, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 0.2%. **Formula 2**: Sawdust 40%, corn cobs 40%, wheat bran 9%, gypsum 1%, rice bran 8%, bean cake powder 2%, and 0.2% wettable carbendazim powder (50%). Hardwood sawdust is generally preferred, especially from species like eucalyptus, birch, or other fungi-friendly wood types. The sawdust must be dried promptly, sifted, and stored properly to prevent mold, degradation, or contamination from oil or chemicals. When selecting land for cultivation, it should be naturally drained, well-ventilated, free from drought, close to water sources, have loose soil, and be convenient for transportation. Avoid low-lying areas, heavy clay soils, or sandy soils that do not retain moisture. Outdoor courtyards or wild lands are suitable, especially under trees, grape trellises, or within forests. Beds should be oriented north to south, with a width of 40–60 cm and a depth of 10–15 cm, with unlimited length. A small path every 10 meters, 6 cm wide, should be left for easy access. After preparing the beds, the surface should be disinfected with 200 grams of white ash per square meter before sowing.
