How long is the growth cycle of Lingzhi?

Introduction to Ganoderma Lucidum Growth

Ganoderma lucidum mainly grows in relatively humid places. There are many artificially cultivated ones now, and there are many varieties, including red Ganoderma lucidum, green Ganoderma lucidum, yellow Ganoderma lucidum, purple Ganoderma lucidum, white Ganoderma lucidum and black Ganoderma lucidum, among which black Ganoderma lucidum is the most precious.

There are four main producing areas of Ganoderma lucidum in China, namely Shandong, Dabie Mountains, Wuyi Mountains and Changbai Mountains. Among them, the quality of Ganoderma lucidum produced in Changbai Mountains is the best.

Ganoderma lucidum growth cycle

Ganoderma lucidum is a saprophytic fungus. The energy and nutrients required for its growth, reproduction and other physiological activities all come from the matrix in which its mycelium survives.

The growth cycle of Ganoderma lucidum is 9-10 months, and the growth period of Ganoderma lucidum is even longer. There are Ganoderma lucidum that are hundreds of years old in the primeval forest, while it only takes 30 days for Ganoderma lucidum cultivated in artificial bags to mature, and it only takes three months for Ganoderma lucidum cultivated in logs.

Ganoderma lucidum growth rate

Ganoderma lucidum grows after its spores fall on certain trees. Under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, it takes root on the trees. After a period of nutritional growth, it will produce Ganoderma lucidum fruiting bodies, and after another period of growth, it will mature.

The growth rate of real wild Ganoderma lucidum is not very fast. The picked Ganoderma lucidum can be properly processed, exposed to the sun, and then stored in a dry and ventilated place.

Ganoderma lucidum growth cycle management

Different Ganoderma cultivation modes have different yields per mu. Generally, it can produce about 2,000-3,000 kilograms of dried Ganoderma. The growth period of artificially cultivated Ganoderma is very short. Currently, artificially cultivated Ganoderma often has the form but not the quality.

Temperature management: Ganoderma lucidum is a thermophilic fungus. The suitable growth temperature for fungi is 15~35°C. As a thermophilic fungus, the growth temperature of Ganoderma lucidum needs to be controlled between 25~28*C.

Fertilization management: When Ganoderma lucidum is growing, its culture medium has been prepared with corresponding nutrients and generally does not require topdressing. It is sufficient to maintain appropriate air humidity, temperature and air.
