1. Reasonably choose culivation time: Pholiota nameko falls under with low-temperature type mushroom, during the growth phase of mycelia, ideal temperature range is at 20-25 degrees Celsius, mycelia stop the growth at above 32 degrees Celsius. For normal cultivation time, it is suggested to steam and sterilize materials from February to March, spawn-running period goes on from April to May, then safe over-summer could be realized from June to July and the fruiting could be achieved from August to November.
2. Choose suitable fruiting place: Good fruiting place should reach the condition of good heat and moisture preservation and desirable ventilation. Besides, fruiting place should be 30 meters away from animal houses. What’s more, fruiting place should also be away from any pollution sources, sewage, and should be close to water sources as well as holding convenient drainage and traffic condition.
3. Choose superior ingredients: Regarding Pholiota nameko cultivation, main ingredients of substrate include bran, corncob flour, gypsum and lime. Growers could choose broad-leaved, hard wood and it is optimal to stack them up and ferment before the utilization. Compared with fresh sawdusts, the fermented saw dusts are quick on aspect of spawn running and high in output. Moreover, bran and corncob flour should be fresh, free from any mold, worms or insects. Last, but not the least, bran which has gone through high-temperature function in summer should never be chosen or used.

1. Nutrition: Pleurotus abalonus falls under with wood-rotting fungus and it holds poor ability on decomposing wood. A series of raw materials are listed such as cottonseed gull, corn, sawdust, straw, bran and corn powder. Sugar and calcium carbonate could be used as auxiliary materials. After reasonable preparation of compost, various nutriments could be met on the growth of Pleurotus abalonus.
2. Temperature: Pleurotus abalonus belongs to a kind of moderate and high temperature fungus, 20-32 degrees Celsius is preferred during the growth period, the optimal temperature is 25-28 degrees Celsius, the preferential temperature during the growth period of sporocarps is 25-30 degrees Celsius and the optimal status is 26-28 degrees Celsius. More importantly, sporocarps refuse to occur at above 35 degrees Celsius or below 20 degrees Celsius.
3. Humidity: For Pleurotus abalonus cultivation, the preferred water content on compost is at 60%-65%, the optimal relative air humidity of cultivation room is at 60%, and 90% in fruiting room.
4. Air : Growth of mycelia has no strict requirements for air. However, sufficient oxygen is needed during the differentiation and growth period of sporocarps. Besides, poor ventilation promotes sporocarps that are in small caps and long stipes.
5. Illumination: Illumination is not required during the growth period of mycelia while certain scattered light is needed during the growth period of sporocarps.
