Synthetic logs
Sawdust
HARDWOOD LOG CUTTINGS After leaf drop Size is 2 to 6 in diameter and 35 to 40 long
Automatic Drill
Multi-Hole Driller
Electric drill - most commonly used, but automatic drilling machine Quick driller capable of making 6 to 7 holes, a great labor saving device.
(Lee, 1999)
Spawn characters
Preference for type of wood
Ease of fruiting
Season of fruiting Size, shape, color and flavor of mushrooms
Spawn bags
Inoculation
Introduction of live shiitake into the log
One time inoculation - produce mushrooms after 6 - 18 mon. &will continue to produce for 3 - 6 years Spring inoculation is done shaded area Internal log : MC - 35% prior to inoculation
Growth Stages
Logs in incubation
Logs - incubation
(Choi, 2004)
Harvesting
First small flushes of mushrooms - appear More production in spring & fall Very few - summer & winter Forced to fruit - 3 to 4 times/ yr
Sawdust cultivation of shiitakes
Contd..
Log begins to fruit after 6 to 8 months from inoculation (for first harvest) Cropping period is 6 to 8 Months Cut the stem flush with bark - knife individually & stored in cardboard box, 36 - 41F for up to a month For a year round production, logs to be fruited in winter & spring need to be rested indoors Mycelia does not feed while it is dormant Optimum resting period for harvest rate is 8 weeks
Yield analysis
Yield : 33% of Biological efficiency Best production of log - during second & third years Production - no longer possible when the bark is lost
Countries
South East Asia (China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore,Philippines Sir Lanka & Thailand) North America (US & Canada) Europe (with France leading, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, England Switzerland, Belgium, Finland, Sweden)
Substrates
In USA Northern red Oak (Quercus rubra)
Mexico
Sawdust 45% Millet 30% Wheat bran 15% Rye 10% MC: 38% (Royse, 2002)
Brazil
1. Eucalyptus bark (Cellulose industry) 2. Eucalyptus sawdust, Rice Bran, MC: 60% (Santana, 2004)
Spawn
Bags - heat resistant polypropylene & contain special breather patch ( micro porous plastic)
Filling nutrient supplemented sawdust substrate - heat-resistant polypropylene bags for heat
Spawn for synthetic log production is propagated - steam sterilized sawdust or cereal grain (rye or millet)
Substrate colonized by mycelium removed from polypropylene bags after a 3-week spawn run
18 to 21 days for spawn run at 21C with 4hrs of light per day Bags are sliced and removed after the completion of the spawn run leaving blokes
Blocks of substrate - exposed to an environment conducive to browning of the exterior log surface Browning period 4 weeks long 19C (CO2 level - 2200 - 3000 ppm Logs are watered lightly once/day
This period is over the primordia begin to form about 1 to 2 mm beneath the surface of the log
Substrate in the browning room 2 weeks after removal from plastic bags.
Bags are ready to produce fruit, Primordia maturation -stimulated by soaking the logs in cool water 12C for 3 to 4hrs
Contd..
Logs are browned inside the bag, soaking - not required because sufficient water - available to support first flush of mushrooms Soaking of logs - required for second & subsequent flushes Soaking allows water to rapidly displace CO2 contained in air spaces in the logs& provides enough moisture for one flush of mushrooms. After soaking, the logs - placed on shelves & the mushrooms begin to enlarge. Approximately 7 to 11 days after soaking, mushrooms - ready for harvesting.
Shiitake fruiting from synthetic logs 7 days after the logs were soaked in water.
Harvesting
Gently twisted from substrate surface by hand & any residual substrate on the mushrooms removed with a knife or scissors Logs are soaked in water again 2nd soaking 12 hrs
3rd soaking -18 hrs for replace the water lost through mushroom tissue production & water evaporation
Average time from peak harvest of one flush to peak of the next flush - about 16 to 20 days.

Cultivation in India
Lack of cultivation technology on locally available substrates & suitable high temperature strains - major reasons for its non-availability in India Manipur & Mizoram initiated the cultivation based on the Japanese log system National Mushroom Research Center (NRCM- Solan) & Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR- Bangalore)
NRCM
Located in Northern region - sawdust of Oaks, Poplars, Mango & Wheat straw
IIHR
Located in southern region mixed sawdust & wood chips of silver oak & banyan trees & also paddy straw & coir pith
MECHANIZATION
Increase the efficiency of the labor, decrease labor drudgery, streamline the production & bring about consistency & continuity Women are being encouraged to take up cultivation
Contd.. IIHR & NRCM - two institutions working jointly on this project IIHR has designed &developed a grain cleaning machine, a grain-boiling unit and a hand operated spawn inoculation machine
EXPORT POTENTIAL
Low production and unorganized marketing Earlier mushroom export - limited to wild mushroom Morchella Collected from the forests of Himalayan region for export Export of cultivated mushrooms started in 1990
Diseases of Shiitake
Fungi in Log Culture
Wood-rotting
Competing with nutrients & space in the log Competitor fungi arrest the mycelial growth or kill mycelium by inflicting indirect damage
Mycelium killing
Coriolus versicolor
Inonotus xeranticus
Contd..
COMPLEX DAMAGE Seizing nutrients from the log & killing shiitake mycelium. Wood-rotting fungi such as Hypoxylon truncatum - invades the log & multiply therein make the barks fall off Fungi such as Trichoderma spp. exert adverse effect on growth of shiitake mycelium & finally kill the mycelium.
Occurrence of Disease Fungi for Direct Sunlight White lump on logs grow to form a grayish green button type in the center, turn brown to dark brown as green mounds get lost.
Trichoderma longibrachiatum
Contd..
First year - Yellowish green molds (incomplete stage) - appear - the ends of the log. Later mycelial tuft form on the barks & stroma (the complete stage) also forms.
Hypoxylon truncatum
Orange colored spore coat form under the bark.
Management
Shading the logs from the direct sunlight in a sufficient manner Colonized logs should be moved to a shady place for recovery Avoid direct sunlight & ventilate well under high temperature & moderate humidity

(Ostrom, 1989)
Other polysaccharides
KS-2 has been shown to have anti tumor activity against induced Sarcoma 180 (Fujii et al., 1978) LAP1, which suppressed liver cancers (Sugano et al., 1982).
Lentinan - AIDS
Lentinan - used in combination with AIDS drugs to boost immune response - HIV positive people
Polysaccharide inhibits viral reproduction & helps increase resistance to Bacterial &viral infections to enhance the effects of drugs
