Growth Characteristics of Variety of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) as Affected by Number of Air Exchanges

In this study, we investigated the effects of the number of air exchanges (NAE) on shape fruit body in two oyster mushrooms, Chunchu 2# and Suhan 2#. The suitable NAEs of Chunchu 2# were $1/10h^{-1}$ at primordial induction, $1/6h^{-1}$ at early stage of growth, $1/4h^{-1}$ at middle stage of growth, $1/4h^{-1}$ at late stage of growth and those of Suhan 2# were $1/6h^{-1}$ at primordial induction, $1/6h^{-1}$ at early stage of growth, $1/4h^{-1}$ at middle stage of growth, and $1/2h^{-1}$ at late stage of growth. In those conditions, the fruit bodies grew well. $CO_2$ concentration hardly affected the primordial formation of both mushrooms. However there were ventilation disturbances over 1500ppm. For instance, the end of pileus rolled up etc. As a result, Suhan 2# required higher ventilation compared with Chunchu 2# and the lower NAE was favorable for growth.

느타리버섯의 품종별 환기횟수에 따른 생육특성

춘추느타리 2호의 최적 환기횟수는 발이유도기 $1/10h^{-1}$, 생육초기 $1/6h^{-1}$, 생육중기와 생육후기 $1/4h^{-1}$에서 자실체의 생육이 양호하였고, 수한느타리 2호는 발이유도기 $1/6h^{-1}$, 생육초기 $1/6h^{-1}$, 생육중기 $1/4h^{-1}$, 생육후기 $1/20h^{-1}$에서 자실체의 생육이 양호하였다. 춘추느타리 2호 및 수한느타리 2호 원기형성기에는 이산화탄소의 농도의 영향이 크게 나타나지 않았지만, 자실체 생육시 1,500ppm 이상일 경우 갓의 끝부분이 위로 말려 올라가는 등 환기장해 현상이 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 춘추느타리 2호에 비해 수한느타리 2호의 경우 호흡량이 높아져서 환기요구도가 높았으며, 환기 횟수가 클 경우 생육이 양호하였다.
