The mushroom mycelium can be purchased from private producers. The dose of mycelium depends on the amount of fertilizer on 1 m2 of shelves. The thicker the layer of fertilizer, this mycelium may be more (350…500 g).
After sowing the mycelium, the fertilizer is mixed and tamped tightly, aligning the shelves, and then covers them with paper, which is moistened once a week with 0.5% formalin solution. During the growth of the mycelium (incubation) the temperature in the fertilizer is. 24…27do temp, at air humidity of 90…95%. Please note, that temperatures above 30 ° C adversely affect the mycelium, and at 36 ° C the mycelium dies.
After 12…14 days after sowing, i.e.. then, when the mycelium has completely mastered the substrate, a cover is placed, in which fruiting bodies are formed. Casing composition: variant I. – 20% high peat, 60% transitional peat, 10% gravel, 10% chalk; variant II – 80% high peat, 10% structural clay or gravel, 10% chalk. The casing is prepared at least one week before it is placed on the shelves. The thickness of the casing should be 4…5 cm. To cover 100 m2 of cultivation need approx. 4 m3 of casing. It should have an acidity of pH = 7,5 and humidity approx. 73%.
For 3…4 days after laying the cover, a total of 3 are added…6 And water on 1 m2 of cultivation, remembering, that the single dose of water must not exceed 2 And on 1 m2. On the fourth day after the cover was laid, Benlate or Fundazol was applied at a dose 1 …1,5 g na 1 And water on 1 m2 of cultivation. After the next three days, the casing surface is brushed deeply 2 cm, to prevent crust formation, and thus improve gas exchange.
