Modeling Technology of bonsai Ganoderma lucidum

Ganoderma lucidum [Ganodermalucidum (Leyss.exFr.) Karst], also known as Ganoderma lucidum, Ruicao, antler, etc., belongs to the genus Ganoderma lucidum of the subphylum Basidiomycetes. It is a perennial woody fungus. It mainly grows in the alpine primeval forests of Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Xizang and other provinces.

Ganoderma lucidum is unique in shape and colorful. Since ancient times, Ganoderma lucidum is not only a rich and auspicious thing, but also a bright pearl in the treasure house of Chinese medicine. In the Eastern Han Dynasty (Shennong Materia Medica Sutra), Ganoderma lucidum was listed as the top grade (effective and non-toxic), believing that "eating for a long time, being light and not old, prolonging the years of immortals". Pharmacological experiments show that Ganoderma lucidum has a good effect on regulating human endocrine, enhancing antibody and metabolism, inhibiting aging, and has obvious effects of anti-tumor, anti-radiation, reducing blood sugar, protecting liver and detoxification. It has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, neurasthenia, hepatitis, asthma and diabetes.

China is rich in Ganoderma lucidum resources, for the "hometown of Ganoderma lucidum", artificial cultivation is more extensive. The production of Ganoderma lucidum bonsai is a new technology that combines modern biological technology with traditional bonsai plastic arts, making use of the biological characteristics of Ganoderma lucidum, through the control of the growth environment of Ganoderma lucidum, combined with artificial pruning, grafting, chemical treatment and other means to cultivate different forms of Ganoderma lucidum. Coupled with rocks, stumps, dead wood and so on, it becomes a beautiful craft crystal with wonderful craftsmanship, thousands of postures, simple and elegant, peculiar shape and high taste. In the international market, especially in Japan, Southeast Asia and other regions, Ganoderma lucidum bonsai has attracted much attention.

Ganoderma lucidum that makes bonsai is called "bonsai Ganoderma lucidum". It can be cultivated in glass bottles or plastic bags. The mycelium culture stage can be managed according to the requirements of bottle (bag) planting, and after the primordium appears, special treatment can be carried out according to different needs. The modeling techniques of bonsai Ganoderma lucidum can be summarized as follows:

1 growth per plant

After the appearance of the primordium, the temperature and humidity of the culture room were reduced at the same time, the culture conditions were no longer adapted to the differentiation of the primordium, the color around the buds deepened and aged, formed a leathery shell, and the buds stopped growing and extended upward into a stalk, and then the temperature and humidity were raised to a suitable range, and the cap was formed soon after the stalk grew out of the bottle mouth. If the temperature and humidity are adjusted intermittently, branches of different length will appear on the stalk.

(2) the thickening of bacterial cap and the formation of daughter cap.

The Ganoderma lucidum which formed the cap but did not stop growing formed the thickened cap under the condition of poor ventilation, and then maintained this condition, the thickened part of the cap could extend the stalk for 2 times. Under the condition of ventilation, one or more small caps can be formed on the stalks of two times. Mechanical stimulation can also induce the formation of a small bacterial cap, using a sterilized steel needle or knife to gently break the back of the bacterial cover of Ganoderma lucidum (when the edge growth point is close to stop) or along the skin to form a scar, continue to maintain suitable growth conditions, the short handle will be pulled out of the scar, and a small bacterial cover will be formed quickly, thus forming a daughter lid.

3 double cap

Put a paper tube on the young bacteria cover in the vigorous growth period, let the light shoot in from the top, the cover will stop lateral growth and grow a small protuberance from the cover surface, and continue to grow into a stalk. At this time, remove the paper tube and continue to culture under suitable conditions, keep the original position of the culture bottle unchanged, and the protuberance will differentiate into a bacterial cap, thus becoming a double bacterial cap.

4 brain-shaped cap

The normal lid of Ganoderma lucidum is semicircular, kidney-shaped and sometimes round. In order to cultivate a brain-shaped bacterial cap and enhance the ornamental value of bonsai Ganoderma lucidum, the temperature and humidity of the culture room can be adjusted frequently and greatly when the strain grows out of the bottle mouth and begins to differentiate into a bacterial cap. cause large fluctuations, while controlling ventilation and light transmission conditions, will form irregular brain-shaped fruiting bodies.

5 fasciculate cap

Artificial control makes the ventilation of the culture room extremely poor, the concentration of carbon dioxide extremely high, and the differentiated primordium can not grow and develop normally and become an irregular columnar, which can improve the ventilation condition and grow into a clustered cap on the irregular columnar.

6. Formation of antler-like branches

When the culture temperature, humidity and light can meet the growth requirements of Ganoderma lucidum, if the carbon dioxide accumulates too much and the concentration reaches more than 0.1%, many branches will be formed on the stalk, more and more branches will be formed on the stalk, and gradually thinner, and the top of the stalk will never form a cap, forming antler branches.

7 fungus stalk abutment

According to the needs of Ganoderma lucidum bonsai modeling, the ends of two or more stalks are fixed with thin thread, or a small part of the tender shell is cut off with a disinfection knife, and then fixed and bound with thin thread, after healing, the thin thread is removed, and several stalks can be connected into a body.

8 forced styling

The growing individuals of Ganoderma lucidum can form a variety of shapes by forming simple shapes such as bending and scarring with plastic film, forcing them to grow according to a certain shape, and then through manual refurbishment and pruning.

9 drug stimulation

Smearing the tip of the growing stalk with drugs such as alcohol can stimulate its growth, resulting in thick stalks, bifurcated branches, biased and scarred lids.

10 formation of polychromatic fruiting bodies

After the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum was formed, under the condition of sufficient scattered light, the pigment deposited on the cell wall deepened the color of the solid surface and had a certain luster. In the process of fruit body formation, the color of the fruit body can be changed by the change of light intensity, thus forming a multi-color fruit body.

11 light-induced culture

Ganoderma lucidum has a strong phototaxis in solid growth. making use of this biological characteristic, in the process of antler branch culture, the light source is fixed, the direction of the culture bottle is changed from time to time, or the light source is changed but the culture bottle is not moved. can make the fruiting body form a tangled dead branch. After the cap is formed, all kinds of cap can be formed by the same method.

The cultivation of modeling Ganoderma lucidum is the basis of the production of Ganoderma lucidum bonsai. Ganoderma lucidum has to be polished, modified or soaked with preservatives, coated with protective film, and then glued to the base, or loaded into a pottery basin, fixed with fillers, or set off with other materials, and then named visually according to the shape of Ganoderma lucidum, a beautiful Ganoderma lucidum bonsai handicraft can be regarded as a complete success.
