Abstract

A machine was manufactured for the purpose of packing the tropical mushroom substrate for the first time in Iraq. Its purpose was to increase the production of edible tropical mushrooms, the design capacity is 250 kg / hour, it dedicated to packing the cylindrical bags used in mushroom cultivation. Three types of food fungi were tested, Pleurotus ostreatus and Ganoderma lucidum and Flammulina velutipes by using mechanical packaging compared to manual packaging. The results showed that the number of completed bags reached 42 bags in a period of 10 minutes by using the machine compared to 10 bags in the same period using the manual method. Regarding the total production at the same time, the mechanical method was recorded a higher productivity for all tested species compared with manual method. At this point, the mechanical method is considered very important for increase production.
