Organic Mushroom Spawn «Japanese honey agaric» (Pholiota nameko)

Glutinous mushroom growth on the old tree or on the stumps of broad-leaved trees - beech or oak, the most active growth in the minds of increased moisture.
Mushroom got its name "slippery mushroom" for the characteristic sticky film covering fresh mushrooms. A rather unpleasant film can be easily removed during washing and further heat treatment. The mucus that coats the mushrooms makes them unsuitable for long-term fresh storage, but canned, pickled, frozen, or salted mushrooms keep for a very long time.

Productivity
Slippery mushroom can be found in stores called "honey mushroom", but it is cheaper to grow mushrooms on your own, especially since it is not difficult - it is important to consider that this mushroom loves hard wood. The slippery mushroom is cultivated both outdoors and indoors, at a temperature of 10-27 degrees. The most favorable time for planting mushrooms in a woody substrate is April-May or August, indoors throughout the year.
As a substrate, you can use stale, damp hardwood logs (hornbeam, beech, alder, aspen, maple, birch, willow, chestnut, poplar, oak), without signs of rot and branches, with bark. The diameter of the logs is 20-50 centimeters, the length is from 30 to 50 cm. If the logs are dry, they must be soaked and then placed in a warm room with good ventilation. For laying sticks with mycelium, holes are drilled in the logs about 4 centimeters long and 0.8 centimeters in diameter. Mushroom sticks are inserted into the holes until they stop, always with sterile gloves, after which the logs are wrapped with a film, leaving small holes for ventilation.
When grown on soft wood, the first harvest can be expected after 5 months, on hardwood - after 9 months. In good conditions, the mushroom will bear fruit in waves, in spring and autumn. The duration of the fruiting period is approximately 3-7 years, on stumps up to 10 years, and depends on the density of the wood. The yield ranges from 15-30% of the mass of the substrate. Everyone can appreciate this tasty and healthy mushroom, because growing it at home is not difficult at all.
