Advantages of branch strains

       Branch strains are widely used in bag cultivation enterprises of seafood mushrooms,

 king oyster mushrooms, etc. Branch strains are processed into branches with specifications

 of 7 mm x 7 mm x (120~165) mm using soft tree species such as poplar. In essence, branches 

are used as carriers. After inoculation and cultivation, the mycelium is wrapped around the

 surface of the branches. When inoculating, the branches are directly placed in the cultivation bag 

with reserved inoculation holes after sterilization. It has many advantages such as fast inoculation 

speed,fast mycelium recovery, three-dimensional radial spread in the cultivation bag, shortene

 cultivation time, and improved mushroom synchronization.

       However, with the breakthrough of liquid strain technology, large enterprises no longer use

 branch strains (branch strains are too expensive and inefficient), and branch strains are only used

 in small seasonal cultivations (such as oyster mushrooms).
