The growth environment and local conditions of bamboo fungus

The growth environment and conditions of bamboo fungus

Bamboo fungus prefers a high temperature and high humidity environment. The varieties grown in different places are not the same. Among them, it is widely distributed in the southwestern provinces, and the edible varieties are also of better quality.

Bamboo fungus growth conditions

Dictamni is a saprophytic fungus that mainly decomposes bamboo roots, bamboo poles and bamboo leaves as a source of nutrients. When in the wild, it mostly grows in black loam, purple soil and yellow mud. When cultivated artificially, bamboo sawdust and crop straw can be used as culture sources to meet its nutritional needs.

Bamboo fungus growth temperature

Bamboo fungus is a mesophilic fungus. The suitable growth temperature of mycelium is 4-28 degrees, and the optimum temperature is 20-23 degrees. If it is below 16 degrees or above 36 degrees, the growth is slow. The temperature for fruiting body formation is 17-29 degrees, and 20-24 degrees is appropriate.

The growth process of bamboo fungus

The spores of bamboo fungus germinate to form hyphae. After absorbing enough nutrients, the hyphae will enter the reproductive growth stage and form countless mycelial cords. After more than a month of growth, they will form buds shaped like eggs. When the top of the bud continues to bulge, the cap will be exposed, and then the fruiting body will grow.

Bamboo fungus planting time and method

As long as the ambient temperature is above 7 degrees, bamboo fungus can be cultivated. It is best to cultivate it from October to December. There are three most commonly used methods for planting bamboo fungus, namely block planting, direct seeding bed planting and indoor box planting.

The nutrients for bamboo fungus can be prepared by mixing sawdust, bran, white sugar, lime powder and other micro-fertilizers. Add water and stir constantly. It needs to be stirred every three hours or so. Generally, it can be loaded after about three times. Then it can be sterilized by high temperature or high pressure and wait for inoculation.
