A monokaryotic mycelium sheet producing system for creating a sheet of monokaryotic mycelial material. The mycelium sheet producing system includes a culture unit, a spore stock unit, a plating unit, a section unit, a sub-plating unit, an expanding unit and a colonization unit. The culture unit prepares a monokaryon culture. The spore stock unit grows a plurality of fruit bodies in sterile laboratory conditions to create a spore stock. The plating unit performs a peroxide-based spore rescue and a plating process. The section unit is adaptable to section robust hyphae. The sub-plating unit sub-plates and expands the robust hyphae onto a spawn grain master. The expanding unit subsequently expands the spawn grain master into appropriate production of spawn volume. The colonization unit is adaptable to perform a subsequent colonization of mycelium substrate thereby creating a substantially defect free sheet of mycelium.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of Gastrodia elata planting, in particular to an organic planting method of G. elata, including the process of mycelia colonized material preparation: cutting a branch of Quercus acutissima into bars; cutting out fish scale openings on the bars to obtain bars with the fish scale openings; successively soaking the bars with the fish scale openings in boiling water and a growth-promoting solution to obtain bars after growth promotion treatment; and putting Amillariella mellea spawns and an inoculation substrate into each fish scale opening of the bars after the growth promotion treatment to obtain a mycelia colonized material. The growth-promoting solution and the inoculation substrate are prepared by treatment of fresh G. elata stalks with Bacillus pumilus and hot-dip extraction treatment in ethanol.

The method grows a mycelial mass over a three-dimensional lattice such that a dense network of oriented hyphae is formed on the lattice. Growth along the lattice results in mycelium composite with highly organized hyphae strands and allows the design and production of composites with greater strength in chosen directions due to the organized nature of the supporting mycelia structure.

The present disclosure provides a cultivation method of morels and belongs to the technical field of cultivation of edible fungi. After nutrient contents that can be metabolized and utilized by morel mycelia are scientifically matched, sterilization treatment of exogenous nutrients is eliminated, and the exogenous nutrients are directly compressed for forming. Formed exogenous nutrient blocks and spawn is sowed and covered with soil, so as to realize a potential difference between “rich” and “poor” nutrients in a physical space. When the spawn germinate to form a mycelium network, the mycelia will enter a nutrient-rich exogenous nutrient area, secrete various extracellular enzymes to decompose and utilize these exogenous nutrient blocks, and transport them to a nutrient-poor mycelium network for storage, so as to complete nutrient assimilation and absorption, and reserve energy for later sexual reproduction.

There is shown a mushroom casing mix having a core material of up to 100% sphagnum peat moss and a concentration mix of wollastonite and dolomitic limestone in a ratio of 10:8.5 per 1 yard of core material. After adding the concentration mix to the core material, the mushroom casing mix is configured to have an enhanced ability to maintain a pH between 7.5 and 8.2 within 14 days after the concentration mix is added to the core material.
