SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF WOOD:
- Suitable stumps and logs of hardwood d≥15 cm, lying no longer than 4 months after cutting, with bark and without obvious signs of infection with other fungi.
- On the day of inoculation, the log is sawn into pieces of 30-50 cm.
- From the ends and around the perimeter, in a checkerboard pattern, at a distance of 10-15 cm, holes are drilled d 1 cm, h 5-6 cm - in a log at least 20, in a stump - 40 (Fig. 1). The more sticks, the sooner fruiting will begin.
- For 2-3 days, the logs are soaked in water, and the stumps are watered (Fig. 2). Excess water is allowed to drain. Freshly sawn (up to 1 month old) wood can be inoculated without soaking.
WOOD INOCULATING:
- Stumps are inoculated in spring, logs - in 2-6 months. before disembarkation. With clean hands, the sticks are inserted all the way and the holes are closed with plasticine or beeswax (Fig. 3).
- When inoculated in August-September, the logs are immediately planted in open ground, without waiting for overgrowth.
- It is recommended to tag the log with the name and date of inoculation.
INCUBATION (OVERGROWTH):
- The log is placed in a dark damp place (basement, barn) in a black bag with holes Ø 0.5-2 cm for ventilation and tied up. The stumps are covered with wet straw (burlap) and do not allow it to dry out, or they are tied with the same film (Fig. 4).
- Under favorable conditions - a temperature of 22-26 ° C and rel. ow. air 85-90% - the log will grow somewhere in 2-3 months. At lower rates, the overgrowth period increases.
LANDING FOR FRUITTING:

- Productivity - 15-20% of the mass of wood. Weather conditions affect the yield and appearance of the fungus.
CARE:
- It is important to maintain the moisture of the mycelium by dripping the soil around, especially in dry, hot weather. After harvesting, watering is stopped for 7-14 days.
