の労力が増す事になり、好ましくない。For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-172335 discloses a device that simultaneously opens and closes the lids of a plurality of cultivation containers that are still in a basket, but in the case of this device, the plurality of cultivation containers described above are disclosed. It is necessary to attach a plate-shaped attachment to the upper part of this in advance, and this attachment (many required)
It is inevitable that the cost of mushroom cultivation will increase by the price. Also, this attachment has to be attached and detached every time the cultivation container is washed (every time the mushroom is cultivated once, and every time it is harvested, it must be washed prior to the next cultivation.) Since the attachment and detachment work is troublesome, the labor of mushroom cultivation increases, which is not preferable.
