White Fungus (Schizophyllum commune) Planting Time and Analysis of the Causes of Malformed Growth

SummaryWhite fungus generally uses spring and autumn as the planting seasons; spring planting is generally chosen around April, while autumn is generally chosen around September. At present, artificial cultivation all adopts the building of houses and sheds for planting, as this makes it easier to control temperature, humidity, etc., and also facilitates management.

For a long time, many people have regarded white fungus as a kind of wild fungal food. It is mainly relatively common in places such as Yunnan, but because it mostly grows on subtropical broadleaf or decaying trees, and wild white fungus is mostly in pieces the size of a fingernail, it is very difficult to pick. Through people's long-term repeated cultivation, our country already possesses artificial domestication technology.

When to plant white fungus

When considering the best season for white fungus cultivation, spring and autumn are generally chosen as the best planting seasons. The spring planting season is generally around April, while the autumn season is around September. Of course, the main thing is still to consider the local environment and altitude conditions, and then carry out sowing and cultivation based on these.

However, considering this, many places build houses and sheds, as this makes it easier to control temperature, humidity and all aspects, and is also easier to manage; the main thing is that in this way, 4 to 6 large harvests can still be achieved in a year.

Causes of malformed growth in white fungus

Many people, when planting white fungus, find that malformations appear during its growth process. The following points may be causes of its deformation:

1. In the choice of planting season for white fungus, planting in the wrong season; because white fungus is picky about temperature, it is possible that the season was not chosen well.

2. Because white fungus has a relatively weak ability to decompose wood, the suitable carbon source is glucose, and the nitrogen sources are corn flour and wheat bran. Therefore, carbon and nitrogen sources are its important energy.

3. White fungus belongs to the fungi that are relatively tolerant of drought. Therefore, humidity control is also a key influence. If humidity control is not done properly, this may also be part of the reason.

4. The growth of mycelium does not need light; too strong light will make the color of the mushroom body worse and will also affect quality. So under normal circumstances, we should do a good job of its shading effect in advance.

5. Perhaps bagging was not done according to standardization and the sterilization operation was not done well, leading to deformation. These seemingly ordinary operations may be the chief culprits causing its malformation.

6. During the operation of inoculating the spawn, aseptic operation was not strictly carried out, and the subsequent sealing treatment was not done well. Once a large amount of other bacteria breeds, it is extremely easy to affect the growth of white fungus.

7. Cultivating the fungus is the most important link; many people fail to manage it well during this operation, leading to malformed growth. The indoor temperature must be controlled well, or it is not placed on shelf layers to receive sufficient ventilation treatment.

How much does white fungus cost per jin

White fungus is a precious fungal food, and prices differ from place to place. Generally 100 grams is 25 to 40 yuan. Because it is expensive and also very beautiful, in ordinary life most of it is used for giving as gifts or entertaining guests. Its fame is hottest in the Southeast Asia region, and it is deeply loved by people abroad.

Nowadays, because white fungus is rich in nutrition and delicious, many merchants process this healthy food into health foods and sell them on the market as high-grade gifts. As its fame grows greater and greater, market demand keeps rising, and many agricultural areas produce it in large quantities, with scale also continuously expanding. Therefore, the editor suggests that during the planting process, every link must be done well, because once a problem appears it can affect the growth of white fungus. Only when the method is right can unnecessary losses be avoided.
