Temperature: Mycelium grows in the range of 5~30℃, and the optimum temperature is 20~25℃. The optimum temperature for primordium production is 12~20℃, and the optimum temperature for fruiting body growth and development is 15~16℃.

Light: Dark conditions should be maintained during the spawning stage to avoid light-induced premature primordium production. Weak light is required for stimulation during the budding stage, and a certain amount of scattered light is also required during the fruiting body growth and development stage.

Humidity: The moisture content of the culture medium is controlled at 62%~65%. When it is too high, water accumulates at the bottom of the cultivation bag, and the mycelium matures slowly. The air humidity during the cultivation stage is 65%~75%, and high humidity increases the risk of pollution; the humidity is maintained at 95%~98% during the budding stage, and the humidity needs to be reduced in the later stage of fruiting body growth.

Air: White jade mushroom is an aerobic fungus, and spawning culture requires sufficient oxygen. Poor ventilation and hypoxia will damage the vitality of mycelium and prolong the ripening period. In the bag cutting mode, high CO2 concentration is used in the later stage to inhibit the growth of the cap and promote the elongation of the stipe.

pH: Pleurotus eryngii is suitable for growing on weakly acidic culture medium. The pH of the culture medium after sterilization should be controlled in the range of 6.2~6.5 to facilitate the growth of mycelium. A low pH after sterilization will slow down the ripening process, and a too low pH will affect the yield of mushrooms.
