Summer flooding can cause substantial losses, damage growing houses, rot or mold on primordia and blackening mycelium. The following post-disaster management measures are suggested to reduce losses.
Bamboo fungus:The archived bamboo-fungus flood-recovery section recommends drainage, rain covers and removal of dead or rotten mushrooms. Its historical treatment examples include 1% lime water, then 200 g of 50% carbendazim wettable powder per mu; 20 mL Miesaoli per sprayer at five sprayers per mu for mites; and nutrient application of 500 g mushroom fertilizer in 250 kg water per mu, or 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate plus 5% glucose. These preserve the source account rather than provide a current treatment schedule.
Agaricus blazei:The archived Agaricus blazei flood-recovery section describes treating soaked lower beds with 100 g of 50% carbendazim wettable powder in 100 kg water, then spraying inside and outside with 100 mL Regent in 250 kg water. It also calls for opening side films for ventilation. For mites and springtails, it describes Regent at 1:3,000, repeated after three days, preferably when few or no mushrooms are present. These are historical source instructions, not a current product application schedule.
Shiitake:For shiitake kept in outdoor growing houses through summer, drain standing water from trenches and improve ventilation to reduce excessive humidity.
Hairy wood ear:During the middle and late wood ear crop, repair the growing house, reduce humidity and increase ventilation.
After a disaster, rebuild and tidy the growing house, drain standing water, improve ventilation and control pests and diseases, with management adapted to each species.
