How to cultivate Ganoderma lucidum seeds and the conditions and methods for growing Ganoderma lucidum.

How to cultivate Ganoderma lucidum seedsShare small experiences of plant cultivation on how to cultivate Ganoderma lucidum seeds and the conditions and methods for planting Ganoderma lucidum, let's take a look together!Everyone knows that Ganoderma lucidum is a traditional Chinese medicine with many health benefits and was even called a divine herb in ancient times. Nowadays, the artificial cultivation technology is also very mature. So, how to care for Ganoderma lucidum in a homemade indoor environment? The editor suggests paying attention to the following five key points for maintenance.Key points for indoor cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum:1. Suitable temperatureGanoderma lucidum is a high-temperature type of fungi with a wide temperature adaptation range. The temperature range for the growth of mycelium is 10-38°C, with the optimal temperature for mycelium growth being 25-28°C. The fruiting body (what we see as Ganoderma lucidum) can grow and develop within the temperature range of 10-33°C, but the most suitable temperature for primordium differentiation and fruiting body development is 25-28°C. Below 20°C, the mycelium is prone to turn yellow, and the growth of the fruiting body is inhibited. Above 38°C, the mycelium will die. Temperature fluctuations are disadvantageous for the differentiation and development of the fruiting body, easily causing uneven development rings and can make the mushroom cap deformed, affecting the quality of Ganoderma lucidum.2. NutrientsGanoderma lucidum is a saprophytic fungus and also a facultative parasite. Its nutrition is based on carbohydrates and nitrogenous compounds, with a carbon-nitrogen ratio of about 22:1, and it also requires small amounts of mineral elements. Carbon sources include glucose, sucrose, starch, lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, etc. Nitrogen sources mainly come from proteins, amino acids, urea, ammonium salts, etc. Most broad-leaved trees and sawdust, leaves, sugarcane residue,稻草 powder, or other plant straws, mixed with an appropriate amount of wheat bran, can be used as the cultivation material for Ganoderma lucidum. Ganoderma lucidum can grow and develop at a pH of 3-7, generally controlled at 4.5-6. The matrix preparation required for cultivating Ganoderma lucidum at home is relatively complicated, so it is recommended to purchase the inoculated nutrient matrix for cultivation at home.3. Sufficient oxygenGanoderma lucidum is an aerobic fungus, with mycelium growth requiring oxygen and the fruiting body growth needing even more oxygen. When the CO2 content in the air exceeds 0.1%, the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum will develop abnormally or fail to open normally. When the CO2 content exceeds 1%, the fruiting body cannot develop normally.4. Higher humidityGanoderma lucidum requires higher humidity for growth. During the mycelium growth stage, the moisture content of the culture material should be 55-60%, with the relative humidity of the air being 65-70%. During the fruiting body development stage, the moisture content of the culture material should be 60-65%, and the relative humidity of the air needs to reach 90-95% for the most vigorous mycelium growth, fast growth rate, and large mushroom caps. If the relative humidity of the air is below 80%, the fruiting body will develop poorly, and the tender growth points at the edge of the mushroom cap will turn dark gray or brown. If the relative humidity is below 60%, after 2-3 days, the newly grown fruiting body will turn from white to gray. Water is very important for the development of Ganoderma lucidum at each stage.5. Sufficient lightingGanoderma lucidum is very sensitive to light. Mycelium growth does not require light, and sufficient light will inhibit mycelium growth. In dark conditions, the mycelium is white and robust, growing rapidly. However, during the differentiation of the fruiting body, more scattered light is needed, and too strong or too weak light will affect the development of the fruiting body. The growth of the fruiting body is phototropic.The above is a detailed introduction on how to cultivate Ganoderma lucidum seeds and the conditions and methods for planting Ganoderma lucidum.
