Abstract
Humidifiers can control moisture conditions during mushroom cultivation. However, production sites have been demanding humidifiers with easy maintenance and the ability to control the quantity of mist. In this study, we developed a new humidifier, "e-mush", and demonstrated its application during mushroom cultivation. e-mush could produce atomized particle sizes in the range of 2-10μm and humidify a cultivation facility without causing wetting, indicating its ability to maintain moisture conditions and temperature during cultivation. Application of e-mush for humidification increased the fruit body yield and improved the quality of the fruit bodies compared to conventional humidifiers.
