Which type of mushroom has the highest yield when growing corn cobs or cottonseed husks

    Many customers of Jinnonghui Industry ask: Which type of mushroom yields higher when growing corn cobs or cottonseed shells? Of course, the cotton seed shell planting method is simple and has a high yield. However, due to the high price of cottonseed husks, corn cobs are currently being used as a substitute. Corn cobs need to be crushed and fermented before they can be cultivated as mushrooms, and their yield and quality are not as good as cotton seed husks.

    Actually, both corn cobs and cottonseed husks are suitable for growing mushrooms. However, the nutritional content of cottonseed husks is slightly higher than that of corn cobs, and the yield will also be better. Without considering funding, choosing cottonseed husks is better.
    There is a certain truth to this statement. Because the growth of edible mushrooms requires multiple nutrients. The demand for lignin and cellulose is relatively high. The two substances in cottonseed husks are higher than those in corn cobs. So the growing fruiting body is relatively better.
    The cultivation of mushroom with corn straw is not high compared to cottonseed husks. However, due to abundant resources and low costs. So it's still quite practical. As long as the cultivation materials are reasonably configured. Practical and high-quality bacterial strains, scientific management, and good benefits.

    There are many raw materials for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus, including cottonseed husks, corn cobs, sawdust, straw, wheat straw, etc. Among them, cottonseed husks are the best and can be selected according to local conditions. Regardless of the selected raw material, it is required that the culture medium must be fresh, dry, and free from mold.
