One of the most critical factors in the early stages of cultivating edible mushroom substrates is the proper preparation and management of the culture material. This step plays a vital role in the overall success of the mushroom cultivation process, directly influencing both the growth of the mushrooms and the profitability for the grower. In this article, I’ll walk you through the process using the Gold Baby Starter as an example. 1. **Preparation**: Start by calculating 0.1% of the weight of the substrate material (or 1/1000). If reusing waste material, you can increase it to 0.2%. Prepare the Kinba edible mushroom culture material fermentation aid. Before mixing, make sure all ingredients are either crushed or cut into smaller pieces. Soak or rinse them to achieve a moisture level of 60-70%, and adjust the pH to around 8. If the moisture is too low, it will slow down the growth of beneficial microorganisms and delay fermentation. On the other hand, if the moisture is too high, it can lead to poor aeration, causing a lack of oxygen and potentially allowing harmful bacteria to develop, which may result in bad odors. To check if the moisture is right, take a handful of the material—there should be a visible watermark, but no dripping. 2. **Mixing**: Use fresh rice bran (note that “Mi Fu†is not the same as “Reunificationâ€). Fresh rice bran offers excellent nutrition and breathability, while old or compacted rice bran lacks these qualities and may hinder the process. If rice bran isn’t available, you can substitute it with cornmeal. Dilute the fermentation aid by mixing 5 kg of rice bran with 1 kg of Gold Baby fermentation aid. Then, combine the diluted mixture evenly with the pre-wet bran, cake, manure, or other additives. Finally, mix everything thoroughly with the main substrate. 3. **Piling**: Once the materials are well mixed, form a pile with a diameter of about 10 cm. Make sure to insert ventilation rods evenly throughout the pile to ensure proper airflow. Cover the pile with breathable materials like sacks or straw curtains to help maintain heat and moisture.

By following these steps carefully, you can significantly improve the quality of your mushroom culture and increase your chances of a successful harvest.
