In Ancient China was considered that to shiitaka enhance vital energy. Modern scientists investigate their antineoplastic properties and saturation vitamins. To check curative action of mushrooms and to estimate their unusual taste it is possible not only at the best restaurants, but also at home, having grown up shiitaka at the dacha or in the city apartment.
It is required to you
- - bush branches;
- - basin/pan;
- - water;
- - plastic bags;
- - sintepon;
- - rope;
- - mycelium to shiitaka.
Instruction
1. Prepare substrate in which mushrooms will grow. For this purpose cut off 1 kg of fresh branches of any bush. Crush them to condition of spill and submerge for 5 minutes in water. When mix becomes impregnated with liquid, drain water, having covered basin with chips gauze, then put substrate in gauze and wring out.
2. Put the paved ""way"" in packages from strong polyethylene. Roll roll of the same diameter from strip of sintepon 5 cm high and tie up it threads. It will be used as stopper. Tie rope package of substrate, having inserted sinteponovy stopper into his mouth.
3. That in favorable conditions for heat and humidity in bag the mold was not formed, its contents need to be pasteurized. This operation is carried out in two steps. Place the closed package in pan of the boiling water so that it was not filled in inside, and you hold on strong fire (temperature is not lower than 100 degrees) two hours. After that take out the block and leave in the dark place for day. In 24 hours repeat the procedure of boiling.
4. Knead mycelium of mushrooms clean hands and fill in the substrate which has cooled down after pasteurization (about 25-30 grams of mycelium on kilogram of dry branches).
5. Within two-three months the set soil left in the dark place at the room temperature will become covered by white or brown raid - it is sign that the mushroom is ready to fructification.
6. Wash out the substrate block under flowing cold water and take out in the shaded corner of garden which will become the perfect place for cultivation to shiitaka. On condition of daily watering you will be able to reap 5-6 crops from each block.
7. In the conditions of house cultivation place the washed-out substrate in package of the cut-off corners and instead of watering every day spray from spray.
