Welcome to magic World of Mushrooms − Mushroom Growing for everyone!
The magic world of mushrooms !
The usage of mushrooms for food as well as medicine is deep−rooted in most cultures since the beginning of mankind. With little work and endurance, you can grow mushrooms in your garden! Medicinal and edible mushroms or decoratively luminescent muhsrooms − a fungus is always a whitty eye−catcher. Many mushrooms contains medicinal active substances, fresh harvested fruiting bodies are very tasty. They are a valuable part of blanced nutrition.
For more information about mushroom cultivation techniques, visit our instructions section!
Our portal is exerted to show you the variety as well the life cycle of mushrooms. We provide a lot of information and a wide range of goods in our category groups: Vital− & Medicalmushrooms, Mycorrhiza and Mushroom Cultivation.
For detailed information and instructions, how to process these steps, please click on the name of instruction. We look forward to answering all your questions about mushroom cultivation via e−mail! (support@mrcashop.org)
Spore production:
As soon as the fruit body of a mushroom was grown to its full dimensions, the mushroom starts to produce spores. This spores fall out of the shroom cap when they are fully matured. For mushroom cultivation, these spores are collected as a spore print.
(Instructions: "Spore print production")
Mycelium germination from spores:
The spores start germination, when they get in contact with a fitting nutrient solution. An agar medium in petri dishes is mostly used for spore germination in mushroom cultivation.
(Instructions: Mycelium germination from spores")
There are positive (+) and negative (−) polarized spores. They will initiate germination autonomous. When they fuse, rhizomorph mycelium is developed.
Mycelium selection
The rhizomorph mycelium strains are selected and used for further cultivation.
(Instructions: "Strain selection")
Fructification:
Under suitable environmental conditions, the rhizomorph mycelium produces pinheads. This mini mushrooms grow up to ready fruit bodies, which releases spores again.
In mushroom cultivation, a special fruiting substrate is inoculated with the mycelium.
(Instructions: "Grain production")
To provide the suitable environmental conditions, the temperature and air humidity are regulated. In mushroom cultivation the mycelium is placed inside a growing room or a propagator.
(Instructions: "Propagator")
Outdoor Mushroom Bed
It is very simple to apply a mushroom bed in your garden!
The perfect time is spring, when the temperatures are higher then 0 degree celsius during night. We provide ready colonised wood−chips substrate for inoculation of an outdoor bed. Just mix the spawn with suitable substrate (i.e. wood chips or straw) and keep it wet! It is also possible to use rye grain for outdoor inoculation, but grain attracts to rats, mouse an other animals who eat the whole mycelium.
Depending on the species the first fruiting bodies will appear a few month after inoculation of the substrate. According to species, mushrooms will fruit for a few years, till all nutrients of the wood have been consumed by the fungus. With little luck, the mushroom will settle permanently in your garden.
To enhance quality and harvest we recommend to regenerate the mushroom bed after a few years. The old wood chips which are decomposed by the mushroom are a high quality plant fertilizer, but you can also let them in the bed! At the end of this instruction you can find all information you need, to produce fresh mycelium for a new mushroom bed from the fruiting bodies of your garden!
