When and where to plant mycelium?
Stock up on the mycelium of the mushrooms you want to grow in advance. It can be purchased in many country shops - the cost is not too high, but the purchase saves a lot of time and effort that will be spent trying to get the mycelium manually.
In general, mushrooms can be planted at any time from May to September. But it is better to avoid hot months - it will be difficult for mycelium to gain a foothold. In addition, when planting mycelium in September, it is not a fact that it will be possible to get a harvest in the same year. Therefore, the end of April and the beginning of May can be called the most appropriate time.
The optimal place for growing mushrooms is a shaded area under dense coniferous or deciduous (preferably not fruit!) Trees on the north side of the house. A house, shed or other obstruction will protect the land from excessive sun and warm south winds, ensuring a good harvest.
Getting started landing
Having chosen a suitable site, dig a hole about 30-40 centimeters deep about 50-70 centimeters from the tree. Its area depends on the amount of mycelium and how many mushrooms you want to get. The bottom of the pit is covered with a forest substrate - old leaves, sawdust, pine needles. The optimal layer is at least 20 centimeters. On top of it, the mycelium itself should be laid. For this, it is mixed with local or forest soil. The proportions for different mushrooms and types of mycelium are different, but must be indicated in the instructions. Add the mycelium with soil to the substrate, water abundantly and cover with straw or needles.
Care is as simple as possible - you need to water the soil as it dries. The first harvest can be obtained next year, and the mycelium will enter full force in 3-5 years.
