PERMEATION OF LIQUID INTO CULTURE MEDIUM FOR CULTIVATING MUSHROOM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for permeating a liquid into a culture medium for cultivating mushrooms by which the liquid in a container can readily, rapidly and uniformly be permeated into the culture medium for cultivating the mushrooms formed into a massive shape kept in a dry state by making the liquid such as water used for the artificial cultivation of the mushrooms escape. SOLUTION: A culture medium 10 for cultivating mushrooms formed into a massive shape kept in a dry state by making a liquid such as water used for the artificial cultivation of the mushrooms escape is dipped in a liquid 20 housed in the interior of a container 30. An opening 32 of the container 30 is then covered with a lid unit 40 and sealed. Air in the container 30 is subsequently passed through a suction port 42 provided in the lid unit 40, sucked to the outside of the container 30 and removed to keep the interior of the container 30 in a state of a lower vacuum pressure than the atmospheric pressure. Air remaining in the culture medium 10 for cultivating the mushrooms dipped in the liquid 20 in the container 30 is made to escape to the outside of the culture medium 10 for cultivating the mushrooms and permeate the liquid 20 in the container 30 into the culture medium 10 for cultivating the mushrooms.
