The cultivation methods and timing of Ganoderma lucidum
Introduction: Knowledge about the cultivation methods and timing of Ganoderma lucidum, including when it is suitable to plant Ganoderma lucidum and specific details are as follows:
1. Ganoderma lucidum can be planted in March, with controlling humidity being the key. It is necessary to soak the菌棒 (spawn logs) appropriately, or it can be planted in October during the autumn, maintaining a temperature of 12-15°C and an air humidity of 85%-90%. It can also be planted between January and February in winter, which yields the best quality.
2. The planting time in spring is April, around Qingming Festival. Ganoderma lucidum requires higher humidity for growth. As the temperature difference between day and night increases, the time for the mycelium to fill the bags will be delayed. Ganoderma lucidum belongs to the high-temperature fungi and thrives in an environment of 15-35°C, with the optimal growth temperature between 25-30°C. Therefore, summer planting is most suitable, with the best planting time being July to August.
3. Ganoderma lucidum can be planted in October during the autumn. It prefers an environment with good air circulation and requires fresh air throughout its growth and development process, especially during the stage of fruiting body development, where it is more sensitive to carbon dioxide.
4. Ganoderma lucidum is suitable for greenhouse cultivation in winter, with planting from January to mid-February being ideal. It is important to choose a greenhouse with good insulation, humidity retention, proper ventilation, moderate lighting, good drainage, and easy management. The greenhouse should have clean floors and smooth walls to maintain a clean environment.
5. Ganoderma lucidum is mainly cultivated indoors. It prefers a dark environment and is not tolerant to direct sunlight. However, it also cannot be without light, as this will result in poor color of the fruiting bodies. Nowadays, outdoor shaded cultivation is more common, with main methods including short-log cultivation and bag cultivation.
6. In the northern regions, short-log cultivation is commonly used, while in the southern regions, bag cultivation is more prevalent. Bag cultivation requires attention to the specifications of the bags and controlling the tightness. If the material is too loose, the growth will be fast in the early stages but poor in water retention and nutrient supply, making it difficult for the fruiting bodies to form. If the material is too tight, the ventilation will be poor, the mycelium will grow slowly, and the fruiting will be delayed.
