Country homemade

Dear site visitors, this article will discuss, as you probably guessed, the creation of a mushroom bed in the country do it yourself.

And so the best mushrooms for home breeding, as you well know, are oyster mushrooms - these are very unpretentious and fast-growing fungi, they will grow on almost everything that contains cellulose.

For growing in home conditions, mushroom blocks are used, they are made as follows, a plastic bag is filled with a sterilized substrate, such as straw, sawdust, sunflower husk or buckwheat. After filling the block, the contents are infected with an oyster mushroom strain, mainly cereal mycelium, which can be easily bought on the Internet, and even better with people professionally growing mushrooms in your area.

Then the mushroom blocks are taken out to a more humid and shady place, for example, to a balcony or a cellar, which is best, and then you just have to wait for the first harvest)

But this process is quite time-consuming and the blocks will occupy space in a particular room, there is the best and simplest of the simple ones that you can imagine, but it consists in the following in the summer cottage you need to choose a very shady place in advance, ideally a place near the fence in the shade of a tree’s crown, and it’s even desirable that there be some kind of structure nearby in the form of a shed or a bath, so that rain water from the roof constantly moistens and moistens this place.

Then you need to pick up sections of trees with a diameter of at least 15 cm, and the larger the better, in height from 50 to 100 cm, the selected stumps need to be soaked for a day in a large container, or just in a puddle there is nothing to worry about, but the most important thing, according to the author lumps strictly must have a bark - this is very, very important, because it retains moisture.

Further, a shallow hole of 15-20 cm is digging. The author recommends to preliminarily pour a little husk from the seeds or grains of wheat to the bottom of the hole, this is necessary directly to feed the mycelium.

A couple of handfuls of grain mycelium are laid on the resulting pillow and a pre-soaked stump is placed, sprinkled lightly on the ground and, on the advice of the author, it is necessary to water the mushroom bed.

And then you just have to wait until the harvest is ripe)
