Fungus growth environment conditions and characteristics

Fungus Growth Environmental Conditions and Requirements

Wood ear is composed of many transparent hyphae and is widely distributed in my country. It mostly parasitizes on damp and decayed tree trunks. Artificially cultivated ones are mainly based on basswood and bag materials. The plants prefer a humid and warm environment.

Fungus growth temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for wood ear is around 25-28℃. Temperatures that are too high or too low are not conducive to the growth of the plant. It has poor cold resistance, and the mycelium will stop growing when the temperature is below 8℃.

Fungus growth humidity

Fungus likes a humid environment, requiring the moisture content of nutrients to be around 60% and the air humidity to be around 65%. During the earing period, the relative humidity of the air should be between 85-95%.

Fungus growing soil

The cultivation medium of wood ear is not soil, but wood. Most broad-leaved tree species can be used as cultivation wood, and they only require a high water content.

Fungus growth cycle and process

Wood ear is a fungus with a production cycle of about 100 to 120 days. The wood for growing mycelium requires a high water content. Wood ear is an aerobic fungus. During the maintenance process, attention should be paid to the ventilation of the environment so that it can grow well in a dark environment.
