A detailed explanation of the latest precautions for planting bamboo fungus
Bamboo fungus is a very precious type of fungus, and it is a relatively fragile one. When planting it, management matters greatly, and failing to pay attention to some details can easily cause major losses. Factors such as nutrients and temperature can all cause it to die off in batches. Below, let's learn together with the editor about how to plant bamboo fungus and which aspects require special attention.
1. Nutrients
Bamboo fungus mostly grows on moldy bamboo. As a rare variety in the fungal kingdom, its demand for nutrients is relatively high. When planting, the first thing is to prepare bamboo. The more suitable bamboos are relatively high-quality bamboos such as moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) and flat bamboo. When it becomes moldy, it needs to rot naturally in relatively moist soil, and then be covered with soil. Black fertile soil should be the first choice for the soil. Some friends, when planting, make the bamboo into sawdust and then add some rice straw and mix it for cultivation. In this regard, note that it must be thoroughly crushed, and then mixed with soil before planting.

The suitable growth temperature for bamboo fungus is generally controlled at around 20°C-24°C. The minimum should not be lower than 15°C, and the maximum should be limited to around 30°C. Therefore, at present, bamboo fungus cultivation generally uses indoor cultivation. If the local temperature is relatively stable and the temperature difference between day and night is not large, outdoor cultivation can be chosen. This way it appears more natural, and the nutrition will also be a bit higher. If the temperature is too high, it will limit the growth rate of bamboo fungus. If it lasts for a relatively long time, development will stop directly, and in serious cases it will rot. When the temperature is too low, it will grow irregularly. To maintain its own temperature, bamboo fungus will slowly contract together.
3. Water and light
The environment in which bamboo fungus grows is relatively moist, so when planting, water and humidity must be well controlled. When humidity and water are too low, the mycelium of bamboo fungus will die due to lack of water during growth, and at this time its surface will appear dry and cracked, causing growth damage. Many growers think that planting bamboo fungus does not need sunlight, believing that it will inhibit its growth. In fact, an appropriate amount of light will accelerate the cell division of bamboo fungus and better help its growth. Therefore, when planting, give bamboo fungus an appropriate amount of light, but the light must not be too strong, and the time should not be too long either.
4. Harvesting
Harvesting is a very important step in the later stage of bamboo fungus. Many growers have already suffered losses because they did not pay attention when picking. Generally, when the fungal group on the outer surface of the bamboo fungus has expanded into a round ring shape, it can be harvested. When harvesting, use a relatively sharp small knife to cut at the volva position closest to the soil. Do not use your hands. Using your hands can easily lead to incomplete harvesting of the bamboo fungus due to difficulty controlling the force, or even breakage.
The above are some aspects to pay attention to when planting bamboo fungus. Bamboo fungus is a type of fungus with very high profit, so planting it requires much more care. When planting this, you must inspect it every day, because once bamboo fungus has a problem, the seriousness of the result may be seen within a few hours.
