Fungal Species: Flammulina velutipes (golden needle mushroom, winter mushroom)

Design and test analysis of a rotary cutter device for root cutting of golden needle mushroom

mycolabadmin

Scientists developed a new high-speed rotary cutting machine specifically designed for harvesting golden needle mushrooms efficiently and gently. The machine uses a specially angled blade that slides through the delicate mushroom stems rather than crushing them, resulting in cleaner cuts and less damage. Testing showed this new design cuts the required cutting force in half and uses significantly less energy compared to existing methods.

This study develops a specialized high-speed cutting machine for harvesting golden needle mushrooms, which are currently picked by hand due to their delicate nature. The machine uses a fast-spinning blade with a special sliding angle that cuts smoothly rather than crushing the tender stems, similar to how a sharp knife slides through vegetables rather than crushing them. Testing showed this approach reduces energy use and damage while improving cutting quality, making mushroom harvesting more practical for commercial scale operations.

Golden needle mushrooms are delicate fungi currently harvested by hand because traditional cutting machines damage them. Researchers designed a new high-speed rotating blade device that cuts mushroom roots cleanly and efficiently by using fast spinning cuts that minimize compression damage. The optimized machine reduces energy use by nearly 25% while improving cutting quality, making mushroom farming more practical and efficient.
