Can Morchella be planted artificially?

Morchella is a common edible fungus in China, which is deeply loved by people because of its high nutritional value and good taste. At present, it is being planted in most areas. Can Morchella be planted artificially?

Can Morchella be planted artificially?

Morchella can be planted artificially, and the specific planting techniques are as follows:

1. Soil conditions: the soil pH value should be 6.57.5, neutral or slightly alkaline is beneficial to the growth of Morchella. Sheep often grow in limestone or chalk soil, and can grow in humus soil, black or yellow loam and sandy mixed soil.

2. Temperature and humidity: Morchella is a low-temperature and high-humidity fungus, which occurs frequently after rain from March to May and occasionally from August to September. It has a long growth period and requires a large temperature difference in addition to lower air temperature to stimulate mycelium differentiation. The mycelium growth temperature is 21-24 ℃, the temperature for fruiting body formation and development is 4.4-16 ℃, and the air relative humidity is 65% 85%. For this reason, the cultivation time should be from November to December.

3. Planting methods: the cultivation methods of Morchella are mainly indoor unpacked cultivation, outdoor unbagged cultivation and outdoor raw material cultivation. Humidity management: Morchella likes to be wet, the growth environment must maintain humidity, cultivated outdoors, especially in early spring, Rain Water is more, the temperature is suitable, then the mycelium and fruiting body grow well, if drought occurs in early spring, it must be watered at the right time.

Second, where is Morchella suitable for planting?

The producing areas of wild Morchella are mainly distributed in Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Xizang, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Shanxi, Jilin, Jiangsu, Yunnan, Hebei, Beijing and other areas. The yield is very high within two to three years after the hill fire. Therefore, pickers in North America will collect Morchella according to the hill fire. However, when the fire is controlled, the number of growth in the same area will decrease year after year.

Generally speaking, Morchella can be planted artificially, as long as the soil is selected and the planting conditions such as humidity and temperature are controlled.
