The original article reports that spraying cooled boiled water at different fruiting stages can increase biological conversion by 33%, shorten intervals between flushes and produce more uniform, thicker mushrooms.
Method:After full colonization, remove the film and spray cooled boiled water on the bed and surrounding walls to reach 80–85% relative humidity. As coral-like primordia develop, spray 3–5 times daily to raise humidity to 95%.
Apply water as a fine mist rather than drenching the bed, which can cause waterlogging and mushroom death. Improve light and ventilation, and harvest when cap margins thin, before full expansion.
How it increases yield:The article attributes the reported effect of cooled boiled water to a reduction of over 50% in dissolved gases, altering surface tension, density, viscosity and conductivity, and making its structure more like cellular water.
The article explains that cooled boiled water enters mushroom cells readily and may support vigorous mycelial growth and fruiting, increasing oyster mushroom yield.
