CALCULATION AND DESIGN ON A CORDYCEPS MUSHROOM NOURISHED CABINET FOR THE HOUSEHOLD SCALE

Abstract

Cordyceps mushrooms contain biologically active compounds that have a beneficial effect on human health. The research aims to perfect the technological process and design of microclimate cabinets to raise cordyceps mushrooms to bring products to widely reach consumers and reduce the cost of cultivated products. The research has calculated and designed a cordyceps mushroom nourished cabinet for the household scale with its yield of 1 kg of fresh Cordyceps militaris in a farming batch. The microclimate parameters in the nourished cabinet obtained the temperature parameters of 20°C - 21.3 °C , the relative humidity of 78% - 92% and the lighting intensity of 500lx – 1000lx. All there parameters are suitable for the development of cordyceps mushroom.
