The mushroom trekking is one of the most important events at the end of the summer season. Due to lack of time, many mushroom pickers deny themselves forest walks and fill the baskets at the busy sellers on the highway.
Harvesting white, chanterelles, honey agaric and other mushrooms is a whole science, but it is even more difficult to grow them yourself in the summer cottage. The “mushroom” vegetable garden on six acres will bring you a guaranteed harvest, regardless of the weather, because you can now create all the conditions for favorable growth.
The first step towards the arrangement of a “plantation” is the transfer of a mycelium. The method is quite time consuming, and it is difficult to keep the mycelium safe and sound. Fortunately, in Russian online stores at any time you can buy ready-made mycelium.
The most popular is the white mushroom - the most valuable among edible counterparts. Experts recommend planting mycelium in the area next to coniferous and deciduous trees. Sowing time: no later than mid-September. In case of arranging your own “mushroom plantation”, you should be patient, because the fruiting will be only a year later.
Mycelium of the white fungus will cost 150 rubles. According to reviews of experienced gardeners, under all conditions, an artificial mycelium brings from 2 to 5 kilograms per season.
On the AliExpress website, finding a similar product is easy. Sowing and the process of growing from "Chinese" seeds deserves special attention. Ultimately, no buyers succeeded in obtaining the flowers, fruits or vegetables depicted in the vivid pictures. Price for 100 pcs.seeds of white mushrooms in the package - 44 rubles.
Seeds instead of mycelium - the main thing, which leads to amazement after opening the package. Unfortunately, the “unique” method of cultivation, invented by sellers from China, does not work. Seeds look more like grass for a lawn, and even a “bonus” in the form of seeds of a Chinese purple rose is unlikely to be able to correct the situation.
In this case, buyers are not sorry for the money spent on the order, but their time and effort. Reviews unanimously advise not ordering any seeds on AliExpress. For the organization of artificial mycelium better buy mycelium in one of the domestic online stores. The range includes substrates for the cultivation of champignons, syroezhek, mushrooms, ceps, boletus mushrooms, oilers, orange-cap boletus and even black truffles.
