Where do mushroom seeds come from?

Mushrooms are fungi, not plants, so they do not bear fruit and have no seeds. They reproduce by spores, which are in the gills. If you tap a mushroom gently, some spores will fall off. Then place the spores on a damp, rotten tree and wait.

Mushrooms reproduce asexually, not by seeds, but by the division of spores.

How to save mushroom seeds

Mushrooms have strong vitality and usually reproduce by spores. You can use a piece of paper to obtain mushroom spores, then place them in a cool and humid place, spray them with an appropriate amount of water, control the temperature, and wait for 7 days for the spores to grow into mushrooms. You can also directly purchase the fungus strains and put them in a bowl, avoid sunlight, and place them in a humid environment to wait for the strains to grow.

How to Plant Mushroom Seeds

Mushrooms are highly adaptable to the environment and prefer warm and humid environments. They can be planted all year round. The best planting time is March in spring, when there is abundant rainfall and the air environment is relatively humid. The survival rate of planting is the highest during this period.

Mushrooms are mainly grown by strains, and there are many varieties. Every time you grow mushrooms, you must first choose the right strain, then add clean water and all-purpose flour and mix evenly for fermentation. You can also directly purchase mushroom strains for planting.

Mushrooms have relatively high requirements for soil and are suitable for planting in soil that is rich in humus, loose, fertile, breathable and well-drained, mainly mushroom soil. Plant the prepared mushroom strains in the soil, keep the environment moist, cover with a layer of plastic film or old newspaper, and control the temperature at around 25 degrees. The strains will grow out in about a week.
