How to Adjust the Carbon-Nitrogen Ratio of Cultivating Materials When using a goldfish fermentation agent to process edible mushroom cultivation materials, microorganisms present in the substrate break down carbohydrates. Part of the energy released is used for microbial growth and reproduction, while the rest is released as heat. During this process, nitrogen is converted into bacterial proteins, which become an essential nutrient source for mushrooms. As carbon is consumed and nitrogen remains, the carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio in the compost decreases over time. For the functional microorganisms in the golden baby starter, approximately 30% of the total carbon in the compost can be assimilated during fermentation, and this process requires about 10% of the total nitrogen content. So, if the compost contains 100 kg of carbon, only 30 kg will be utilized by the microbes, along with 3 kg of nitrogen. Without enough nitrogen, microbial activity may slow down or stop, which can negatively affect the overall process. To ensure optimal conditions, the initial C:N ratio of the compost should be between 30:1 and 35:1, with 33:1 being ideal. The proportion of mushroom compost and the amount of urea added must be carefully controlled to maintain this balance. If there's not enough nitrogen, it can lead to lower mushroom yields. On the other hand, too much nitrogen can cause waste and disrupt the C:N balance, making it harder for mushrooms to fruit properly. Within a suitable range, higher nitrogen levels in the compost generally correlate with increased mushroom yield. It’s crucial to monitor and adjust the C:N ratio throughout the composting process.

Understanding and maintaining the right carbon-to-nitrogen balance is key to successful mushroom cultivation.
