How to grow the leftover Flammulina velutipes

1. Prepare the container

Choose the right container, the height is about 10cm, and then put two or three tablespoons of baking soda in the container. If there is no baking soda, use edible alkali instead, then add the right amount of water, about half the height of the root system, stir well, and then put a few wet paper towels at the bottom of the container. Or prepare a plastic bag with a piece of paper towel wet with soda.

2. Root placement

Put the excised roots of Flammulina velutipes on top of the wet paper towels in this container, then seal the container with plastic wrap and place them in a cool and ventilated environment, or put the cut roots on paper towels wet with soda water, then seal them in a plastic bag and place them out of reach of the dark sun.

3. Waiting for regeneration

Flammulina velutipes belongs to fungi, and its regeneration ability is very strong. As long as the environment is right, it can grow rapidly. We provide it with a humid and alkaline environment. When the temperature is kept at about 5-10 degrees, it can grow on its own. It will sprout in about a week, and a new wave of Flammulina velutipes can be harvested in about 2 weeks.
