How to grow mushrooms

Oyster mushrooms

For cultivation of the vesicles, a subtract made from sawdust, chopped straw, sunflower husk or chick freshly chopped wood will be needed. After preparing the substrate, it must be laid with a mycelium in a polyethylene bag and cleaned. Three days later, make 5 slits in the sack. The main condition for growing veshenok is darkness. The required temperature is 18-20 ° C.Within 16-20 days, the first clusters of mushrooms will appear in the sacks of the sack. Then bags should be transferred to a room, illuminated 12 hours a day with a temperature of 10-16 ° C.Humidity can be maintained with a sprayer.

Prepared chocks should be infected with mycelium. This should be done on the same day when they were sawn. For infection, a mycelium is used. Chocks are required to be installed in the basement in an upright position. The upper end of each choke is infected with a mycelium and put an uncontaminated end to another chuck. The height of the stack should be 2 m. Then it should be covered with thick boards, put a layer of straw on top, and a layer of soil 20 cm thick on top of it. The humidity of the air in the room should be at least 90%.After 2-3 months, chocks can be removed from the basement and prikopat them so that the bottom of each choke was a few inches deep in the ground. Around them pour wood chips. Plantation with oyster mushrooms should be protected from direct sunlight. After 2-3 weeks, the first mushrooms appear on the chocks. Under favorable conditions, oyster mushrooms will bear fruit for 3-5 years.

Cultivation of vesicles is best to begin in April - May.

Smurks and stitches

It is best to cultivate the morel mushrooms in spring, in April - early May. Before arranging the ridge, you must choose a shady place with sandy soil. As a fertilizer, you should make humus, compost, which is well crooked, and cow dung. On top of the ridge, sprinkle with wood ash or, if there is, ashes from the burnt paper. Shredded fruit bodies should be evenly scattered on the bed, or pour them with warm water, adding mushroom caps to it. To produce such watering is best in wet and cloudy weather. After that the ridges must be mulched with humus and covered with fir branches or old bark. Under favorable conditions, the harvest of mushrooms can be collected for the next year.

Growing mushrooms on the plot is very useful. It not only contributes to the increase of mushroom resources, but also allows mushroom pickers to do their favorite thing.

Winter aspen

Stumps of poplar, willow, maple are used as a substrate for cultivation of this fungus.

Then, the wooden chocks must be dug into the open ground with a sown end in 23 lengths. It is recommended to choose a shadow place for planting. Another way to infect the wood with a mycelium is to lay the mycelium with a layer of up to 10 mm on the bottom of the pit covered with a moistened straw. An important condition is the sawing of wood on chocks on the day of planting.

You can make the mycelium just on the bottom of the trench. In this case, it must first be isolated with a layer of moistened straw or hay, and then evenly apply a mycelium. At a log it is necessary to remove a thin strip of a bark and to lay it on a mycelium. If the conditions are favorable, the first mushrooms will appear in the autumn. A good harvest will be obtained in the second and subsequent years.

If the wood is prepared in autumn or winter, the sown logs should be placed, for example, in the basement, covering them with a layer of straw or pieces of film, which will help preserve and develop mycelium. Planted in the open ground can be in May. Care of the pieces is to water the soil as it dries.

Fruiting bodies appear after the first frosts.

For artificial growth, mixed substrates are used for artificial growth: bran, sawdust, waste threshing grain and industrial crops, cutting from straw and hay. A ready moistened substrate is filled with liter jars to 80% of their volume, moistened to 80% and covered with lids. The cans are then sterilized by any known method. Tweezers put a piece of mycelium into the substrate and slightly embed it. Leave for 30 days at a temperature of 20 ° C.Then, the banks must be transferred to a room with a humidity of 95% and a temperature of 10-12 ° C.After the rudiments of the fruiting bodies have appeared, the lids need to be removed and grown by the mushrooms already under sufficient illumination and ventilation. The humidity of the air, while growing mushrooms, should be maximum.

The mycelium can be stored at room temperature in hermetically sealed packaging for 1 year.

Deer fungus

For the cultivation of this fungus will need a special mixture. Sawdust and chips must be scalded with boiling water and mixed with nutritional supplements. The resulting mixture must be filled with cans and pasteurized in boiling water for 1 hour. When the substrate has cooled to 30 ° C, it must be infected with a mycelium. For infection, fit pieces of wood with mycelium. The fungus can be grown in wooden boxes.

Add to the substrate as malt, beer mash, potato mash, bard, etc.
