Abstract：The rational arrangement of fruiting schedules for year-round fresh shiitake mushroom(Lentinula edodes)sup-ply in the Funiu Mountain area of Henan province can provide a scientific basis for mushroom stick production,cultivar selection,and facility cultivation optimization.The study selected Xixia county on the southern slope and Lushi county on the northern slope of the Funiu Mountains as experimental areas.Regions were divided by 200 meters elevation gradients,and temperature sequence maps were plotted based on ten-day mean and daily mean temperatures.By systematically inte-grating the temperature requirements for fruiting of different shiitake strains and the temperature control performance of greenhouses,a year-round fruiting schedule was established.In both areas,the low-temperature period with ten-day aver-age temperatures below 3℃ was concentrated from December to February of the following year,while the high-tempera-ture period above 24℃ occurred from mid-June to late August,with no high-temperature period observed in high-altitude areas in Xixia.Analysis of daily average temperature showed that the durations with daily average temperatures below 3℃ were 135 days and 130 days for Xixia county and Lushi county,respectively,while high-temperature periods 24 ℃ were mainly concentrated in low-altitude areas.Based on the fruiting requirements of wide-temperature and low-tempera-ture strains(3-24℃)and combined with the temperature control thresholds of standard greenhouses,a temporal layout was proposed.For Autumn-winter fruiting,each 200 meters decrease in elevation delayed the schedule by one ten-day period(Xixia:Early August-early December;Lushi:Late July-late November).For spring-summer fruiting,each 200 me-ters increase in elevation postponed the schedule by one ten-day period(Xixia:Early February-late June;Lushi:Mid-Feb-ruary-late June).During the high-temperature season,the cool climate of high-altitude areas was utilized along with greenhouse cooling measures,while in the low-temperature season,the relatively warm environment of low-altitude areas was leveraged alongside greenhouse heating.The thermal resources in the Funiu Mountain area exhibit significant vertical zonation.By combining standard greenhouses with temperature-appropriate cultivars,a"autumn-winter and spring-summer"dual-season cultivation model can be established in mid-to-high altitude regions,while a"winter-spring and summer-autumn"staggered-season production system can be expanded in high-altitude regions,ensuring a year-round supply of fresh shiitake.
