CHIP SPAWN RAW MATERIAL AND PRODUCTION THEREOF AND METHOD FOR CULTURING SPAWN USING SAME RAW MATERIAL

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain a chip spawn raw material capable of readily planting fungi by charging a raw material obtained by adding nutrient necessary to rear mushroom to synthetic resin powder harmless to propagation of hypha of mushroom into a mold to give a molded article and then providing a notch to the molded article to form a folding ditch. CONSTITUTION:A raw material obtained by adding nutrient, e.g. sawdust or rice sugar, necessary for rearing mushroom to a synthetic resin (e.g. polypropylene) harmless to propagation of hypha of mushroom is charged into a mold and molded and solidified into a relatively long rod like article by applying heat thereto to afford a molded article. Folding ditch is formed by providing notches axially crossing at a right angle at prescribed intervals in the molded article to provide the chip spawn raw material.
