Key Points for Artificial Greenhouse Cultivation of Saffron Milk Cap (Lactarius deliciosus)

The best seasons for artificial cultivation of saffron milk cap in a greenhouse are summer and autumn, when the temperature is suitable for growth. Potato, glucose, agar and pine needle water can be used to prepare a base solution to enhance the growing nutrients. The cultivation environment should maintain diffused light, which can accelerate the growth rate.

I. Planting Techniques

1. Cultivation should be carried out in summer and autumn, in pine forest areas, where the soil should be deep and rich in humus.

2. 200 grams of peeled potato, 20 grams of glucose, 20 grams of agar and about 1 liter of pine needle water can be used to make the base culture.

3. The pine needle water must first be boiled in water before use. In addition, the plant tissue must be isolated; select wild saffron milk caps with good morphology, wrap the root soil in white paper and set aside.

II. Artificial Cultivation

1. The plant can be artificially cultivated; the cultivation time is usually chosen in summer and autumn, and cultivation can be done by broadcasting the spawn in the field.

2. Cultivation is easily affected by natural weather, but plants grown this way artificially are similar to wild ones.

3. After thunderstorms and high temperatures, the plant will grow abundantly, but during cultivation it is essential to note that the cultivation site must have a certain amount of diffused light, the environment must be shady, and there is no need to spray any chemical solution on the plant; it can simply grow naturally.
