ABSTRACT:
The invention is to provide an improved method of growing mushrooms and a device for use therein. According to conventional methods, harvest of mushrooms sharply declines in quality and quantity on and after about the fourth time of harvest after starting the first harvest, hence it is necessary to scrap a growing bed once used and to prepare a new growing bed entirely repeating the same arrangement from the initial stage. According to the invention, a fruit body bud gathering layer once formed around the boundary between a compost layer and a casing soil layer is removed immediately before the decline in harvest, thereby improving the mushroom harvest both in quality and quantity. Cost reduction according to one embodiment amounts to 20-28%.
