Mushroom mycelium: everything a novice mushroom picker needs to know
So what is mycelium and what else do you need to know about home mushroom growing? Mushroom mycelium – this is the vegetative body of a plant that is able to change its shape, adapting to the growing environment. The mycelium consists of threads 1.5-10 microns thick. The mycelium is an important organ of the plant, because it is she who is responsible for vegetative reproduction. The mycelium is planted in a specially treated substrate. Over time, it germinates and forms mushrooms. As a substrate, you can use both fertile soil and straw, hay, seed husks or wood. Alternatively, tea leaves, coffee grounds, cardboard and paper are also used.
However, not all mushrooms are suitable for growing at home. The most unpretentious of them – mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, chanterelles, honey mushrooms, porcini mushrooms.
