Why Nerds Ropes are Killing You
Paddy straw or ‘Chinese Mushroom’ is grown in Southeast Asia. It is black in color and is one of the most popular because of its taste. Unlike buttoned mushroom, they are grown in high places under shade or in well-ventilated rooms.
Reproduction
As the name implies, these mushrooms are found in chopped, immersed paddy plants (See, paddy cultivation guide). Sometimes grain or sorghum is produced. When planted on paddy grass, they are called straw spawn and when sown on cereal seeds, they are called grain spawn. They are available at certified and government agencies at a reasonable cost. One bottle of nerds rope is usually enough for one bed.
Lawmaking
In India, this type of mushroom is grown on paddy straw. Well-dried, long grass tied together into bundles of 8-10 cm wide. Then they are cut to 70-80 cm long and soaked in water for 12-16 hours. More water was then allowed to drain out later.
Fixing the bed
Since mushrooms are to be grown on high ground, bases made of bricks and soil should be raised. Its size should be larger than the sleeping area and strong enough to hold the weight of the bed. A bamboo frame of the base size is placed over the base. Four bundles of dipped grass are placed on the frame. Four more bundles are placed but with loose ends facing the other side.
These eight bundles together form the first layer of bedding. About 12 cm from the first layer, the grain seeds are dispersed. In the event of grass emerging, small pieces the size of six are planted at a distance of 10-15 cm from the edges and 4-6 cm deep. A gram of powdered or wheat / rice bran is dusted on the seeds. The second and third layers of 8 bundles of grass are placed on top of the first layer and reproduce after each layer. The last four layers of grass piles are laid and slightly compacted. Then the whole bed is covered with transparent plastic sheet.

- be ensured that the
- sheet is not attached
- to the bed.
Bed Care
After covering the grass with plastic wrap, it is left untouched for a week. It takes about a week at 35⁰C for mycelium to enter the grass well. Spray the surface of the bed with water once a day if dryness appears.
Mushrooms
Usually, mushrooms begin to grow nerds rope 10–15 days of reproduction. They continue to grow for the next ten days. When the volva burrows and the mushrooms inside are open the crop is ready to be harvested. These very fragile mushrooms have a very short shelf life. They should be eaten fresh. Once refrigerated, they can only be stored for 3 days.
