Abstract

The invention relates to a method of making culture medium for Agaricus blazei Murill mushroom, which include the following steps: the sawdust is piled up to 5 to 15 meters high to undergo the first fermentation and decaying process which takes about 3 months; it is required to periodically turn over the sad dust pile every 15 to 30 days; then the dried and sterilized cattle excrements are added to the first-time fermented sawdust to undergo the second fermentation process, wherein the saw dust is piled up to 5 to 15 meters high and the internal fermentation temperature is 70 to 90 degrees centigrade; it is required to periodically turn over the sad dust pile every 15 to 30 days; finally, when the color of fermented sawdust turns dark brown, close to black, and the urine like Ammonia odor disappears, the culture medium can be used as the basic materials of bag-logs for cultivating Agaricus blazei Murill mushroom.

Claims

1. A method of making culture medium for Agaricus blazei Murill mushroom includes the following steps:

a. pile up the sawdust up to 5 to 15 meters high to undergo the first fermentation process which takes 3 months,

b. periodically turn over the sawdust pile,

c. add dried and sterilized cattle excrements to the fermented sawdust stated in a to undergo the second fermentation process, wherein the sawdust pile is 5 to 15 meters high and the fermentation temperature is 70 to 90 degrees centigrade,

d. periodically turn over the sawdust pile,

e. the culture medium is ready when the color of fermented sawdust turns dark brown, close to black, and the urine like Ammonia odor disappears.

2. A method according to claim 1, wherein said sawdust pile is periodically turned over every 15 to 30 days.

3. A method according to claim 2, wherein said sawdust pile is watered until water flows out the pile after each periodic turning of said sawdust pile

4. A method according to claim 1, wherein the ratios between said sawdust and said cattle excrements during the second fermentation process are said sawdust 75% and said cattle excrements 25%.

5. A method according to claim 1, wherein of lime powder and calcium carbonate is added to said sawdust to adjust the Ph level during the second fermentation process.

6. A method according to claim 1, wherein said cattle excrements has gone through the sterilization process of 60 to 75 degrees centigrade.

7. A culture medium for Agaricus blazei Murill mushroom include:

75% of two-time fermented sawdust and 25% of sterilized cattle excrements.
