How to cultivate mushroom spawn How to cultivate mushroom mycelium

In our magical natural world, fungi do not live alone, but grow together with many other fungi, such as bacteria, molds, etc. Today we are going to learn about how to cultivate mushroom strains and mushroom mycelium. As edible mushrooms, they have amazing nutritional value and taste delicious. Therefore, obtaining excellent strains is beneficial to improving the variety of mushrooms, increasing its nutrition and taste. So, without further ado, let's take a look at the cultivation methods below.

How to cultivate mushroom spawn How to cultivate mushroom mycelium

1. Isolation and culture

This is the first step of cultivation by separating the mother strain of mushroom spawn. Generally speaking, there are spore separation method, tissue separation method and intrabasal mycelium separation method. According to the characteristics of mushrooms, we generally use the multi-spore separation method: that is, inoculate many spores on the same culture medium, let them cultivate and mate together, and then obtain high-quality edible fungi.

2. Inoculation and culture

We have obtained high-quality mother strains in the above isolation and culture, but in order to select excellent and high-purity mother strains and make them usable original strains, we still need culture media. Therefore, generally speaking, we need to use inoculation culture of the fungus to find some mushroom mycelium with strong vitality, pure color, and strong and powerful for inoculation culture of original strains and cultivated strains.

3. Cultivate liquid seeds

In addition to quality, the yield should also be taken into consideration when cultivating mushroom strains and mycelium. Therefore, the method of obtaining strains by deep fermentation of liquid strains can maximize the yield, shorten the entire cultivation and production cycle, and effectively reduce costs. Of course, because the technology is not yet mature at this stage, this is still an ideal goal for achieving edible strains. With the development of science and technology in the future, I believe that the role of liquid strains will be further developed and discovered.
