Chicken mushroom cultivation method skills and precautions

I wonder if you have ever grown chicken mushrooms? Chicken mushrooms are commonly known as chicken pots, also known as termite mushrooms and chicken silk mushrooms. I have grown them at home. I still remember that when the mushrooms first sprouted out of the ground, they were conical in shape. As they grew up slowly, the center would bulge, the surface was yellow-brown or dark brown, the center was darker, and there were often cracks on the edges (at that time, when I saw this, I was very worried whether it would die. Later, I found out that its shape was like this, and I worried for nothing). The mushrooms are sweet and delicious, and have an endless aftertaste, so they are a very popular edible mushroom. So today I will introduce to you the methods and techniques of growing chicken mushrooms. If you have learned it, you can go and grow it, don’t waste my efforts.

Planting Methods and Tips

1. Generally, the main nutrient source for the growth and development of wild Altissima is obtained from ant nests, mushroom gardens and the surrounding environment, so when we plant it, we can dig some soil near the ant nest and plant it back. The editor's home is planted near the ant nest.

2. The temperature in the termite nest where the chicken mushroom grows is relatively low and almost constant. Therefore, a stable temperature is required to facilitate the growth of mycelium . Therefore, we must pay attention to maintaining the temperature during the planting process.

3. The stable environmental conditions in the ant nest are suitable for the growth of mycelium of the chicken fungus, but not conducive to the formation of fruiting bodies. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to wait until the rainy season comes and the rainwater seeps into the soil around the ant nest, and then the mycelium will grow outside the ant nest. Therefore, we can plant it in the season with abundant rain for growth.

4. Also pay attention to the lighting issue. Spore germination, hyphae growth, primordium differentiation, and fruiting body growth and development do not necessarily require lighting. When the fruiting body opens, it needs a certain amount of scattered light to make it differentiate and develop well.

Precautions

The fruiting period of the chicken mushroom is generally from June to October in summer and autumn. The temperature is controlled at 24℃-28℃. When the temperature is high, thick shade is added to the roof, shallow water is stored in the furrows, and water is sprayed in the greenhouse in the morning and evening to create a cool and humid environment with a relative humidity of 85% to 90%. The temperature and humidity difference between day and night is widened to improve the quality of the mushroom body. Dragonflies often bite the mushroom body during the fruiting period, which can be caught manually.
