When is Ganoderma lucidum planted and harvested

Generally speaking, there are certain laws in the growth of crops, and this growth law is not immutable. Once the natural environment provides suitable conditions for seed germination, crops can germinate smoothly. But the temporary satisfaction of the conditions does not mean that the subsequent environmental conditions still adapt. Smart farmers sum up these experiences with the help of their own eyes, and then make a convention.

When is Ganoderma lucidum planted

Ganoderma lucidum from inoculation to harvest takes about 50 to 60 days. In the case of artificial cultivation, there is no fixed planting time. As long as it can provide a suitable living environment for Ganoderma lucidum, it can help Ganoderma lucidum grow normally.

Growth environment of Ganoderma lucidum

1. Temperature

Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body primordia can occur in large numbers at 25-30 ℃, and grow slowly below 22 ℃. Although Ganoderma lucidum primordia can occur above 34 ℃, it is easy to form tumor-like protuberances after primordium formation and stop development. Ganoderma lucidum cap grows faster at 28-30 ℃, with sparse wheels, lighter surface color, longer growth time, more accumulation of active components and hard texture at 24-26 ℃, so the quality of Ganoderma lucidum grown at this temperature is better. In order to take into account the growth time and fruiting body quality, the room temperature during primordium differentiation and cap growth should be (28 ±1) ℃ and (26 ±1) ℃ respectively.

2. Humidity

The temperature demand of Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body has the characteristics of high humidity and constant humidity, and the suitable relative humidity is 90% Mel 95%. From the appearance of the primordium to the maturity of the fruiting body, the humidity should be kept relatively constant, so that the entity can grow normally and evenly. However, due to the long growth period of the fruiting body, high air temperature and large water evaporation, it is necessary to water the ground or gutter 3-4 times a day to achieve the required humidity. And combined with space spray water, if the humidity is normal, the shape of the top or the edge of the cover is round and regular, showing dark white, when the air is dry, this part turns gray-white, and then appears yellow, while the surface becomes rough or concave-convex, and loses luster, according to this, we can judge whether the fruiting body is short of water, if it is found to be short of water, it can spray water directly to the fruiting body, and combine with the ground (ditch) to pour (sprinkle) water. Avoid spraying directly on the cap during the spore release period, and the indoor relative humidity is reduced to 85%, 90%, a lower level.

3. Ventilation

The fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum is very sensitive to the content of carbon dioxide in the air. it is measured that the fruiting body can differentiate normally when the volume fraction of carbon dioxide is less than 0.1%. When the volume fraction of carbon dioxide in the air is 0.03%, the cap differentiates rapidly and develops normally. When the volume fraction of carbon dioxide is more than 0.1%, the cap is difficult to differentiate, and the stalk can prolong the branching into antlers. Therefore, during the formation and development of the fruiting body, the indoor should always maintain good ventilation conditions. in order to solve the contradiction between ventilation and heat preservation, it is generally better to ventilate at night or early in the morning or slow air ventilation throughout the day.

4. Lighting

The fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum is also sensitive to light and has the characteristic of directional light growth. the light intensity and light source direction have great influence on the fruiting body growth. it is measured that when the light intensity is 4000-6000LX, the fruiting body develops normally, the stalk is strong, the cover is thick, when the light is strong, the stalk is small, the undifferentiated cap or forms a small and thin cap. After the formation of the primordium of the fruiting body, the direction of the light source or the position of the cultivation bag should not be changed at will. Otherwise, it will affect the normal growth of the fruiting body, and it is easy to form abnormal Ganoderma lucidum. If it is cultivated in a vertical bag, in order to make the fruiting body develop normally, it generally transmits light on the top surface after the formation of the primordium, so that the top surface is shaded by light on one side after the cap differentiation, so that the cap grows horizontally to the light source, so that the stalk is perpendicular to the cap and the cap is fan-shaped.

The main producing areas of Ganoderma lucidum

Ganoderma lucidum is native to eastern Asia, and Jiangxi is the most widely distributed in China.

Origin: cultivated in most parts of the country, Lushan is the most famous in the south.

Ganoderma lucidum is produced in Europe, America, Africa and eastern Asia. It is widely distributed in China, but it is mostly in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is distributed in the high-temperature and rainy area south of the Yangtze River. The specific provinces are: Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi.

The species of Ganoderma lucidum in the world are mainly distributed in the tropics and subtropics of Asia, Australia, Africa and America, and a few in temperate zones. Located in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere, there are only four species of Ganoderma lucidum in Europe and about five species in North America. Ganoderma lucidum is widely distributed in China, which spans from tropical to cold temperate zones.

Ganoderma lucidum harvesting and processing

Cut off from the middle of the handle with a knife so that the incision does not break, spread out and dry, or dry at low temperature. If spore powder is collected, clean plastic sheeting or smooth clean paper can be placed under the culture shelf, collected with a board brush, and the spore powder can be dried and stored in a plastic bag for medicinal use.

Ganoderma lucidum in the natural growth state will germinate once it meets the environment suitable for its own growth, while the artificial care of Ganoderma lucidum, no matter what season, people will provide suitable light and temperature according to the growth characteristics of Ganoderma lucidum. Therefore, there is no need to deliberately pursue the time of planting.
