دانلود کتاب Growing Mushrooms the Easy Way: Home Mushroom Cultivation with Hydrogen Peroxide

Volume I of Growing Mushrooms the Easy Way is both an indispensable introduction to the use of hydrogen peroxide in mushroom culture and a general primer on basic mushroom growing. It describes techniques for preparing mushroom cultures without air filtration or sterile facilities, and without autoclaves or pressure cooking of bulk substrate. And it contains crucial information--not repeated in Volume II--on:

• how peroxide works
• issues of stability and safety with peroxide
• how to measure peroxide concentration
• the problem of peroxide-decomposing enzymes in substrate material
• how to choose peroxide-compatible substrates and supplements

Volume I also contains sections on:
• an introduction to some commonly cultivated mushrooms
• preparing and maintaining agar cultures
• making grain spawn
• making "Ten Minute Spawn" (a quick sawdust-based, steamed spawn medium)
• a boiling water/peroxide method for preparing bulk wood pellet fuel substrate
• seasonal planning
• indoor vs. outdoor growing
• harvesting mushrooms
• troubleshooting

Volume II:
The first volume of the peroxide manual introduced a whole new approach to home mushroom cultivation, one that has gained a reputation for its ease and simplicity. The manual showed how mushrooms could be grown readily without sterile facilities, air filtration, or autoclaves. Now, for growers interested in commercial cultivation, and hobby growers too...

Prepare any quantity of bulk substrate at room temperature.
The second volume of the peroxide manual adds two ground-breaking peroxide methods that can be used to prepare as much substrate as you need without the trouble of heating and cooling.

Just soak your substrate, drain, and inoculate.
The first method is a simple soak-and-drain procedure designed for use with materials such as straw, bagasse, dried grasses, corn stalks, cottonseed hulls, etc. You just load the substrate into a soak chamber, fill it with the appropriate solution at room temperature, soak until the proper moisture content is reached, then drain and inoculate. There's no caustic waste to worry about, no hassle with heating water or steam, and no concern about peroxide-decomposing enzymes in the substrate materials.

Add water and stir.
The other method is an add-and-stir procedure designed for use with peroxide-compatible porous substrates like wood pellet fuel, paper fiber pellets, or (for oyster mushrooms) kiln-dried sawdust . You simply mix all your ingredients together at room temperature, then come back in a couple of hours and inoculate. There's no hurry, though--peroxide keeps the substrate from spoiling. (Refer to Volume I for important information on choosing peroxide-compatible substrates and supplements).

Here's what else you'll find in Volume II:

• collecting and germinating mushroom spores
• an alternative to agar medium for mycelial culture and storage
• screw-cap tubes (slants) as an alternative to Petri dish culture
• a quick beer-based agar medium
• re-using disposable Petri dishes
• preparing "Ten Minute" sawdust spawn in plastic bags
• preparing "Ten Minute" grain spawn with "instant rice."
• inoculating straw without spawn
• sending mycelial cultures in the mail
• preparing raw wood chips with peroxide
