8. 8
1.Flat space –land
2. Good drainage
3.Near to water source
4.Open space

9. 9
Straw selection
If possible use the lower part of straw ( 30 cm
from ground to above)
New straw (still contains high nutrition)

10. 10
Water Source
Normally use water from natural
source (chorine free)

11. 11
Mold
Size; ( 30 -35 x 1-1.2 X 30 )
Bottom 35 X 1 -1.2 meter
Top 30 X 1 -1.2 meter

12. 12
Straw Mushroom Seedling
Age; 5-10 days
White fiber

13. 13
Supplementary food
Starch
Commercial food

14. 14
1.Place preparation
2.Soak straw in water 1-2 day
3.Mix straw mushroom seedling with supplementary food
4.Place mold on ground
5.Place soaked straw in mold 10 cm high
6.Place step 3 along straw edge
7.Add another layer of soaked straw to the mold 10 cm high
8.Place step 3 along straw edge
9.Continue process to fill mold and top with straw
10.Remove mold

15. 15
Additional steps
Water (if low moisture)
Cover with plastic sheets and straw 3-4 day to control inside
temperature
Open plastic 15 –30 minutes than reclose it again , spray moisture if the
pile is too dry
Harvest mushroom around day 7-9 ( Morning)

16. 16
1. Chemical usage area / left over chemical
2. Material date expire / contaminate material
3. Seedling (too; young-old, breed not pure)
4.Season/ temperature (mushroom do not like cool
temperature ( 20 –40)
5.Re-cultivate in the same plot
6.Soaking technique
7.Insect pest and other (rat, bird, ant and contaminate
mold)
