As a child, we often went into the woods looking for mushrooms, maybe that's why they liked me so. As is now time to go to the hiking there, I I decided to experiment and try to grow the white mushrooms in their area - what, who does not risk, that... does not collect mushrooms in their own garden. Of course, all of whom I told about his plans, diligently tried to dissuade me from this idea, they say, just wasted time and energy to spend. But I, that if we think about it, always I bring it to the end.
In this article I'll talk about how I grew the mushrooms on beds and shared their impressions of the harvested crop.
You can plant mushrooms, how to use the mycelium, and using natural seed. I took the second option.
First, you need to take care of creating favorable conditions for the growth of fungi - in the garden there must be deciduous or coniferous tree, I do it, for example, spruce and have a supply of straw, twigs and water.
To collect seed, we would need 10 mushroomsI specifically carve out an hour or two and went to the land in search of them. Collect only be mature mushroom with a cap of at least 12 cm, though they need to grow those trees under which they are going to grow and you.
Then you need to put the mushrooms in a bucket, add water and let it brew for a day, after which the mushrooms carefully mash hands to a state of homogeneous mass. Then we filter the solution through cheesecloth, water must move in one pot and pulp - to another.
Under the selected tree preparing a bed of the desired size to simply remove the top layer of soil. Landing fungi can be carried out during the summer and early autumn.
Then the fun - 1 sq. m. pour the beds 2, 5 l of the fungal solution from above and laid pulp "sheltering" all previously removed, ground. After that, you need to water the flower bed, take a lot of water, so as fungi like moist environment. Once the bed is sufficiently moisturized, cover it with straw and branches.
The most important thing in this business - regular watering, so that the earth does not dry. With the onset of cold weather "insulate" the bed of fallen leaves, which in the spring will need to be removed.
Within 2 years I have collected two baskets full of mushrooms, though they have grown large, beautiful and, most importantly, very tasty! So, there is nothing in the world of the possible, and I am once again convinced of this!
