Calcium sulfate dihydrate (raw gypsum) was mainly used in edible fungi culture medium, and the molecular formulas were CaSO4 2H_2O and CaSO4 2H_2O, respectively. Gypsum contains 20-28% calcium and 16-22% sulphur. It can not only provide calcium, but also is a good source of sulphur. It has high biological application rate. It is an economic edible fungus additive. Because it plays a key role in the growth of edible fungi, it is less replaced by other supplements and plays a great role in edible fungus cultivation.

　　生石膏在食用菌培育基中的應(yīng)用屬于輔助原料，輔助原料是用于增加營養(yǎng)，改善化學(xué)、物理狀態(tài)的一類物質(zhì)，用量較小。生石膏在食用菌培育基中的添加量在1-3%之間。

　　The application of raw gypsum in edible fungi culture medium belongs to auxiliary material, which is a kind of substance used to increase nutrition and improve chemical and physical state with small dosage. The addition of gypsum in edible fungi culture medium ranged from 1% to 3%.

　　食用菌培育基中添加生石膏在增加營養(yǎng)方面的作用：

　　Adding raw gypsum to edible fungi culture medium can increase nutrition.

　　（1）直接補(bǔ)充培育基中硫、鈣的缺乏；

　　(1) Direct supplementation of sulphur and calcium deficiency in culture medium;

　　（2）使氣態(tài)氮固定成化合態(tài)氮，利于游離在堆料中氨氣的穩(wěn)定，減少培育基中氮素?fù)p失；

　　(2) Fixing gaseous nitrogen into combined nitrogen is beneficial to the stabilization of free ammonia in the stockpile and reducing the loss of nitrogen in the culture medium.

　　（3）能加速培育基中機(jī)質(zhì)的合成，促進(jìn)料中可溶性磷、鉀的釋放，供應(yīng)菌絲吸收應(yīng)用；

　　(3) It can accelerate the synthesis of organic matter in the culture medium, promote the release of soluble phosphorus and potassium in the feed, and supply the mycelium for absorption and application.

　　（4）鈣離子能使堆肥中的膠體膜消逝，有利于蘑菇菌絲吸收營養(yǎng)；

　　(4) Calcium ion can make the colloidal membrane disappear in compost, which is beneficial for mushroom mycelium to absorb nutrients.

　　（5）生石膏能中和蘑菇菌絲在生長過程中產(chǎn)生的草酸，并在蘑菇菌絲外表構(gòu)成有草酸鈣的細(xì)胞膜，有防御外敵、維護(hù)菌絲的作用；

　　(5) Gypsum can neutralize the oxalic acid produced by mushroom hyphae in the growth process, and form a cell membrane with calcium oxalate on the surface of mushroom hyphae, which has the function of defending foreign enemies and maintaining mycelia.

　　（6）使基料在發(fā)酵后纖維素降解率進(jìn)步，可溶性糖增加。

　　(6) The degradation rate of cellulose and soluble sugar increased after fermentation.

　　食用菌培育基中添加生石膏在改善化學(xué)和物理狀態(tài)中的主要作用：

　　Adding raw gypsum to edible fungi culture medium plays an important role in improving the chemical and physical state of edible fungi.

　　（1）進(jìn)步培育基的緩沖才能，抑止由氨氣所惹起的，以至在播種后也會(huì)發(fā)作的PH值過高的反作用；

　　(1) The buffer ability of the progressive cultivation medium can restrain the reaction caused by ammonia, even if the PH value is too high after sowing.

　　（2）避免培育基變酸和厭氧發(fā)酵，防止培育基酸堿度呈現(xiàn)大的變化；

　　(2) Avoiding basic acidification and anaerobic fermentation, and preventing great changes in basic acidity and alkalinity of cultivation;

　　（3加強(qiáng)培育基對(duì)某些細(xì)菌細(xì)胞間質(zhì)的凝聚作用，這樣能夠減少在堆制過程中由于細(xì)菌的活動(dòng)，而產(chǎn)生一些毀壞培育構(gòu)造；

　　(3) Strengthen the coagulation effect of culture medium on the interstitium of some bacteria, which can reduce the damage of culture structure caused by bacterial activity in the composting process.

　　（4）有助于培育基降低在覆土?xí)r對(duì)添加的一些營養(yǎng)性補(bǔ)充物的敏理性而增加產(chǎn)量 ；

　　(4) It is helpful to reduce the sensitivity of the culture medium to some nutrient supplements and increase the yield.

　　（5）生石膏提供的鈣素與其他重金屬離子不同，它無毒性且能使秸稈外表的膠體粒子凝集成大的粒子而沉淀下來，產(chǎn)生凝析現(xiàn)象，構(gòu)成通氣性好的物理構(gòu)造，使培育基變得疏松，改善蓄水性和通氣性，促進(jìn)了有益微生物的活動(dòng) ；

　　(5) Calcium provided by raw gypsum is different from other heavy metal ions. It is non-toxic and can make colloidal particles on the straw surface coagulate into large particles and precipitate, resulting in condensation, forming a physical structure with good ventilation, making the culture medium loose, improving water storage and ventilation, and promoting the activities of beneficial microorganisms.

　　（6）生石膏還有很強(qiáng)的吸水性，能進(jìn)步堆肥的持水才能 。

　　(6) The raw gypsum also has strong water absorption, which can improve the water holding capacity of compost.

　　應(yīng)用范圍
