What should be noted for the latest lingzhi (Ganoderma) cultivation?

Lingzhi is an extremely precious and rare traditional Chinese medicine. Lingzhi has great benefits for human growth and health, and its current market price is frighteningly high. Precisely because lingzhi is precious and rare, and because of the high profits from its market price, cultivating lingzhi has very good potential prospects. So now more and more people are beginning to choose to cultivate lingzhi, but after all, it is a precious species. What should be noted when cultivating it? Let's take a look together with the editor below!

1. Nutrition

Lingzhi is a kind of saprophytic fungus, belonging to one type of fungus. It has a strong ability to absorb and decompose lignin, cellulose, and so on, and the nutrients it needs are also relatively large. During artificial cultivation, the nutrients required by lingzhi must be satisfied. If the growth needs of lingzhi are not met, then the original nutritional value of lingzhi will be greatly reduced, and its commercial value will drop severely. During cultivation, some crop straws such as cottonseed hulls, wheat bran, and rice bran can be used as raw materials.

2. Temperature

Lingzhi is a fungus that likes high temperatures. During initial growth, the mycelium can withstand growth temperatures up to 40 degrees, but the most suitable temperature is around 25 degrees. During the fruiting body development stage, the temperature should be around 23-29 degrees, but the most suitable temperature is around 25 degrees. Controlling the temperature well during the growth process of lingzhi determines the final yield of lingzhi and is one of the most important factors in the growth process of lingzhi.

3. Humidity

As everyone knows, all fungi need a large amount of water during their growth and development process. Of course, the environment they like most is also a relatively humid environment. Lingzhi belongs to the fungi, so humidity is also very important. Of course, the humidity in the air must not be too low. Experiments have shown that during the mycelium growth stage, when the relative humidity in the air is 70%, lingzhi develops better than when the humidity is below 70%, with fuller flesh and richer nutritional content. And when it reaches the fruiting body stage, the required humidity is even greater. The relative humidity in the air must reach at least 85% or more to ensure the normal growth of lingzhi.

4. Air

Most fungi are aerobic, and lingzhi is one of them. Carbon dioxide in the air has a great impact on the growth and development of lingzhi fruiting bodies. When the carbon dioxide concentration in the air reaches 0.5%, it has a very good effect on the growth and development of lingzhi, can effectively promote the elongation of the stipe, and can also inhibit the growth of the cap. When the content reaches 1%, although lingzhi can still grow, it will form branches and antler-like shapes. If it exceeds 1%, lingzhi cannot grow normally and may even die.

After lingzhi is planted, it is particularly sensitive to light during growth and development, because most fungi do not like sunlight, and neither does lingzhi. Lingzhi mycelium especially dislikes light. In a completely dark environment with no light, the mycelium grows fastest. However, during the differentiation and growth of lingzhi fruiting bodies, relatively strong scattered light is needed. The stipe and cap grow relatively quickly and thickly, and the cap is also relatively thick.

The above are the basic matters needing attention when cultivating lingzhi. Now people are increasingly pursuing high-quality, high-level lives, so naturally they will not let go of lingzhi, a traditional Chinese medicine that greatly tonifies the human body. However, it should be noted that although the lingzhi market is growing larger and larger, and the price is very enviable, cultivating lingzhi is not the same as other crops. Lingzhi belongs to the fungi. Therefore, when everyone decides to cultivate lingzhi, they must master a correct cultivation method and strengthen their own cultivation techniques.
