What are the light requirements for the growth of Stropharia rugosoannulata? Please explain


         The mycelium of Stropharia rugosoannulata can grow completely without light, but scattered light promotes the formation of fruiting bodies. In actual cultivation, choosing a semi-shaded environment for the cultivation site gives better results.
         This is mainly shown in two aspects: first, higher yield; second, the mushrooms have brighter coloration and are more robust, which may be because sunlight raises the ground temperature and, through the evaporation of water vapor, promotes air exchange in the substrate to meet the requirements of the mycelium and fruiting bodies for nutrients, temperature, air, moisture, and so on. However, if exposed to direct sunlight for a relatively long time, the air humidity decreases, causing the stipes of mushrooms that are growing rapidly and approaching harvest to crack, affecting the appearance of the commercial product.
