To provide humidity during the 20-day incubation period of oyster mushroom cultivation on a low budget, you can use several cost-effective methods:
1. Misting:
Use a simple hand-held spray bottle to mist the growing area several times a day. Ensure the mist is fine to avoid waterlogging the substrate.
2. Humidity Tents:
Create a humidity tent by covering the growing area with plastic sheets or tarps. This traps moisture and maintains a humid environment.
Ensure there is some ventilation to prevent mold growth and allow for fresh air exchange.
3. Water Trays:
Place trays of water around the growing area. The evaporating water will increase the humidity.
Add sponges or cloths to the trays to increase the surface area for evaporation.
4. Wet Cloths/Towels:
Hang wet cloths or towels around the growing area. Re-wet them as needed to maintain humidity.
This method works well in smaller spaces.
5. DIY Humidifiers:
Use a fan and a bucket of water. Place a towel in the bucket so that it soaks up the water, and position the fan to blow over the towel. This will disperse moisture into the air.
Alternatively, place an ultrasonic mist maker (cheaply available) in a bowl of water to create mist.
6. Soil Beds:
If growing in a soil bed, lightly spray the soil with water to keep it moist, which will help maintain humidity.
7. Closed Environment:
Grow your mushrooms in a small, enclosed space like a closet or a greenhouse where it's easier to control and maintain humidity levels.
By using these methods, you can effectively manage the humidity for oyster mushroom cultivation without investing in expensive equipment.
