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:
- Planted in open ground from April to September, in a container - all year round *. A place for fruiting is chosen shaded and well retaining moisture.
- An overgrown log is buried horizontally in a moistened hole, covered with a 2-5 cm layer of earth on top, or vertically by 1/3.
FRUIT AND YIELD:
- Depending on the density and size of the wood, it will bear fruit for 3-7 years in spring and autumn (Fig. 5).
- When planting mycelium in the ground in the spring, expect the first harvest this year, in the summer-autumn - next.
- A mushroom grown in the fresh air looks like a chanterelle. If, within 3-5 days from the moment the rudiments of mushrooms appear, a greenhouse effect (excess CO2) is created, then its leg will be thick, and the hat will be small.
- 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.
- In summer, the mycelium is protected from direct sunlight, and for the winter it is covered from frost with foliage and earth.
