Can chicken-of-the-woods mushroom (Termitomyces) be cultivated artificially? With cultivation techniques and price per jin

Can Termitomyces be cultivated artificially? Yes, it can be cultivated artificially. Termitomyces is an edible mushroom with relatively high nutritional value. So how much does it cost per jin? Let's take a look below at how to cultivate Termitomyces artificially.

Step one, culture substrate formula and preparation. The material composition and component weights are: various crop straws, or other agricultural and sideline product residues, or forestry residues as the main cultivation raw material, with a weight proportion of 68-88 parts, wheat bran 5-12 parts, rice bran 2-9 parts, corn flour 2-8 parts, sugar 1 part, superphosphate 1 part, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1 part; add water so that the water content is 50%-65%, and use citric acid to adjust the pH value to 5.0-6.5;

Step two, preparation of the cultivation culture substrate. Place the mixed material of the culture substrate formula into polypropylene or high-density polyethylene plastic bags, sterilize and cool to obtain the cultivation culture medium. Under aseptic conditions, use the one-end or two-end inoculation method to inoculate the artificially domesticated red soil Termitomyces cultivar. After inoculation, place it under dark conditions at 10-30°C for cultivation. After the mycelium grows fully throughout the bag, it becomes a mature fungus stick;

[0008] When using mature fungus sticks for soil-covered cultivation to produce mushrooms, the soil covering thickness is 2-15 cm, maintain the cultivation temperature at 12-30°C, and the relative air humidity at 55%-95%; after mushrooms emerge, thin them out, leaving 2-5 mushrooms per bag or per 100 square cm; harvest when the mushroom cap is about to flatten but the edge is still curled inward.

How much is Termitomyces per jin? There are many varieties of Termitomyces, and the price varies from place to place. Guizhou Termitomyces is 80-100 yuan. Yellow Termitomyces is about 60 yuan. Better quality ones are around two hundred plus to about one hundred and twenty.
