Hitcher mushroom bed just add water. Mushroom beds: an easy way to grow mushrooms at home Mushroom beds

How to grow mushrooms in the country and in the garden in the garden - miracles - mushrooms in the garden? What a mushroom picker did not dream of glades strewn with mushrooms. He came to the forest edge, and there the mushrooms were apparently invisible. Such picturesque paintings are imagined by lovers of the “silent hunt”, gathering in the forest for their favorite trophies. But not always a trip to the forest is successful. Sometimes, an hour-long search for forest gifts ends in complete failure, and you have to return home with empty baskets.

Forest gifts ceased to provide a rapidly growing demand for mushrooms. Forest delicacies are currently very popular and in high demand.

Mushroom production is a very profitable business. Agricultural farms grow champignons and oyster mushrooms. The industrial method of mushroom cultivation, thanks to the growing demand for a unique food product, is growing.

Mushrooms grown on shelves are inferior in taste to forest beauties, but such products are in great demand due to their availability throughout the year. The conveyor production of champignons and oyster mushrooms is able to provide an excellent product all year round.

Most vegetable farms constantly supply mushroom products to supermarket shelves regardless of the season. Fascinating forest walks are replaced by an ordinary trip to the supermarket, where you can definitely find mushroom products. In winter, when the forest lands are covered with snow, the supply of mushrooms to the distribution network does not stop - this is a huge advantage of mushroom-growing vegetable farms.

Industrial hangars and mushroom farms are an excellent solution to the problem of supplying unique delicacies. But what gardener or vegetable grower will not resist the temptation to arrange a small forest glade in his garden.

Very often among vegetables and horticultural crops you can find forest gifts - edible mushrooms. Amateur gardeners successfully grow chanterelles, butter and mushrooms, russula and mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and mushrooms. Taming forest beauties is the dream of more than one generation of gardeners. But he is in no hurry to reveal his secrets. Several dozen species of mushrooms ceased to be only wild.

The most affordable representatives that can be grown in the garden are oyster mushroom. and honey agaric. They grow well on any plant debris, such as straw, hay, Pancake weekly waste, sawdust and shavings of all kinds of deciduous trees.

Porcini mushrooms, chanterelles, butterfish and saffron mushrooms, the more refined representatives of the mushroom kingdom, will feel cozy and comfortable on compost made from sifted garden soil and deciduous humus. Small mushroom spots can be arranged in the garden.

In the shady places of the garden, a small area is allocated for a mushroom pit. The foundation pit is enough to deepen by 30 centimeters. The finished pit is filled with pre-prepared, nutritious soil mixture. The soil mixture is laid in the pit in layers. The bottom is covered with fallen, rotted leaves, grass, wood shavings or sawdust. A layer of dung humus or garden soil is poured onto a nutrient pillow. The leveled soil layer is evenly coated with cereal mycelium, distributing it over the entire surface. Mycelium is sprinkled with a three-centimeter layer of dung humus or garden soil. And finally, the last will be a five-centimeter layer of garden soil. The mushroom pit is regularly moistened with sprinkling. The first garden mushrooms will appear in about two months.

In the garden, with regular maintenance, mushrooms in the equipped pit can be harvested from May until late autumn. Such a mushroom bed will last at least five years. In the same way, you can grow mushrooms in utility rooms, basements, sheds, garages and other outbuildings, replacing the foundation pit with boxes.

The device of the mushroom bed is similar to the device of the pit. Boxes are placed in the corners of outbuildings with diffused sunlight. In the absence of access to natural light, a four-hour electric lighting is produced. Rooms with mushroom boxes should be well ventilated, with sufficient humidity. The first crop will appear at the same time as with the pit method of cultivation.

Edible mushrooms have a unique taste and smell. Thanks to their nutritional value, they have become favorite delicacies in all countries of the world. Mushroom picking in forests is an exciting and useful activity. Communication with wildlife brings joy. Returning from the forest, mushroom pickers, along with full baskets of forest gifts, bring with them a lot of impressions from communicating with wildlife. But no less exciting is the cultivation of forest gifts in his garden. The first mushrooms in the garden will bring no less joy.

Tree transplant

The mycelium of the fungal fungus forms a fungus with all the trees of this breed in a radius of several tens or even hundreds of meters. Transplanting a small tree from the forest under which the desired mushroom is already growing is a proven method. After transplanting pine, spruce or birch about a meter high, mushrooms can appear in 4-5 years.

Choose the type of tree in accordance with the preferences of the mushroom:

Birches   get along well with white mushroom, black mush, red boletus. Before replanting a birch with a porcini mushroom, you need to make sure that oaks do not grow near the forest, otherwise the porcini mushroom forms mycorrhiza primarily with oak.

With pine you can try to transplant the pine boletus form. It is well possible to transfer a small pine with a grainy oiler to the garden.

With spruce saffron mushrooms are transplanted - delicious and spruce (just keep in mind that he does not like calcareous soil).

With aspen   - Of course, red boletus.

Among the listed mushrooms, soon fruiting can be expected only from red boletus. The rest form fruiting bodies under already mature trees.

Sowing spores

Edible mushrooms growing on dead trees bear fruit 2-3 times a year for 5-7 years.

They can be grown only on hardwood logs: birch, willow, alder, maple. Trunks of coniferous trees and stone fruits for these purposes are not used. It is better to harvest and save logs for sowing in late autumn and winter (in the warm season, putrefactive microflora quickly occupy the wood) from the trunks of living healthy trees in order to populate them with mycelium in spring.

Dead wood, trees infected with stem rot, and old decayed wood for breeding such mushrooms are not suitable. There are too many competing mushrooms in their tissues: the cultural mycelium will develop poorly or will not be able to take root at all.

Going to do "mushroom affairs", the gardener should think. This may affect the appearance of his garden. Another important consideration: will it be convenient to work with pieces of logs? After all, they are quite massive and voluminous: the thickness of the log blocks should be at least 20 cm, length - from 40 cm.

Those who find this method too laborious and costly and who are sorry to destroy healthy trees can offer an easier and more intensive way: to plant mycelium with substrate from ground branches.

With this technology, mushrooms give a greater yield and bear fruit more often - from spring to late autumn. The growing mycelium holds and "cementes" the particles of the substrate, making it uniform and durable. The substrate blocks sprouted with mycelium can be freed from polyethylene and covered with a shell made of kraft paper or burlap.

Set Mushroom beds Oyster mushroom Hitcher

A brief overview of one of the cultivated oyster mushroom strains: the Hitcher strain.

Hitcher belongs to the Chinese Black (CK) family.

This is not a very common strain in Russia, but a very high-yielding strain.

Hitcher mushrooms tolerate transportation well. The fruits of the bodies are fleshy. The color of the hat is dark, saturated, and noticeably lighter as it grows. It grows well on various types of substrate (straw, sawdust, husk).

The unique technology of the Center for Ecological Programs company for growing mushrooms at home.

The kit includes: two beds for planting mycelium, mycelium, mineral fertilizer. To harvest just add water .

Box Composition:

Cereal mycelium container

Two sachets with a mineral supplement

Two mushroom beds.

What needs to be done?

1. Remove the mushroom beds from the box.

2. Add the contents of one sachet of a mineral additive to a jar of water (approximately 1.2 L) (a mineral additive is a lime powder that is designed to stabilize acidity and increase the yield of mushroom beds. It is not harmful to health). Stir thoroughly until completely dissolved.

3. Pour the prepared solution into the mushroom bed on the sides. Close the bag with the garden bed (tighten with an elastic band).

4. Similarly prepare the second garden.

5. Take a large pot of water, put on the stove. Put mushroom beds in a saucepan for pasteurization. In such a water bath, keep beds 1.5 hours (90 minutes). After the pasteurization of the beds, get them out and cool to room temperature.

6. When the beds have cooled, proceed to sowing the mycelium. (Distribute one container of mycelium into two beds). You need to wear disposable gloves, open the beds. Pierce (release) the central channel so that it is free. Take the mycelium from the container in small portions, pour it into the central channel, if necessary, push it in with your fingers (for this it is convenient to use chopsticks for sushi - they can be pushed, and sealed with the back). Tighten the bed with the same rubber band.

7. After the beds are ready, you need to put them back in the box. Close the box and open on the side of the valve. On the side beds make cuts.

8. It remains to wait for the harvest of mushrooms.

8. It remains to wait for the overgrowth of the mycelium of the fungi.

9. After overgrowing, change the temperature, lower the temperature (15-20 degrees) (take it to a cool place or to the windowsill).

To increase the humidity of the substrate by periodically spraying water from the spray bottle and throwing the bag onto the box.

10. Collect a crop that goes in waves (2-3 waves).

Box dimensions: 240 * 120 * 270 mm, volume 8 liters.

Productivity - up to 4 kg of mushrooms.

The purchase sounds enticingly simple application - "just add water!". No matter how, everything is much more complicated.
  1. A mushroom bed set includes a plastic container with mycelium, a mineral supplement to increase fruiting (a pair of white powder sachets), and two beds with a substrate (dry sawdust).
  2. The package with the mineral additive should be dissolved in 1200 ml of hot water, it is possible from the tap.
  3. Open beds with sawdust must be filled with the resulting hot solution with a mineral additive.
  4. After adding hot solution to the beds, they must be tightly closed with a lid and additionally heated in a water bath for one and a half hours.
  5. Remove the beds from the water bath and cool to room temperature.
  6. Put new rubber gloves on your hands and open the beds and the container with mycelium.
  7. In the beds, the central channel should be freed from the substrate and a hole should be made in the safety valve.
  8. The mycelium must be divided into two parts, carefully chop it in your hands and fill it with the central channel of the bed.
  9. After filling the channel, the mycelium should be slightly densified with your fingers and close the bed.
  10. Having completed all the procedures, the bed must be returned to the box and transferred to the shade. The temperature in the room should be 22-24 ° C.
11. During the first four weeks, the mycelium grows in the substrate, the next three weeks the maturation of the fungal block occurs. From the eighth week, the formation of mushroom bodies begins. At this stage, the beds should be moved for 2-3 days to a room with a low temperature (5-10 ° C).
  12. Then carefully bend the edges of the box and open the top of the bag. Rearrange the bed itself into the fruiting room. Where throughout the entire fruiting period it is necessary to maintain a temperature in the range of 14-16 ° C and humidity in the range of 80-90%.
  13. The beginnings of mushrooms - primordia - appear already on the 7th-9th day, and they will grow to a full-fledged mushroom in 5 days.
  14. To use it is necessary to tear off the whole drusen completely.
  15. During the growth period, mushrooms require intensive moisturizing, it can be carried out using a household sprayer for indoor flowers. So that moisture does not evaporate instantly, you can make a cap of polyethylene with cut corners for ventilation and cover it with a garden bed.
  16. After the first harvest, the bed should be allowed to rest for a week, for this the top of the bag should be closed.
  17. Before re-bearing, the bed should be moved again to a cool place with a temperature of 14-16 ° C and humidity up to 90%.
  18. Fruits boletus several times a season.
  19. If the bed began to weigh less than half a kilogram, it must be removed and immersed in cold water for five hours.
  Where in a modern apartment can I get a room with a temperature of 16 degrees and a humidity of 80-90%?
