Growing Characteristics
- A 7% spawn rate is used in sowing.
- It grows in a substrate made of wheatstraw and some hens’ excrement.
- Incubation lasts about 30 days.
- CO2 concentration: It should be kept between 1.000 and 1.500 ppm.
- Relative air humidity: 88–90% during all the cultivation cycle.
Recommendations
- During the first 15 incubation days the substrate temperature should be kept between 28/30ºC, and drop gradually throughout the cycle until 20/22º.
- It could take3 or 4 weeks more to see the first pinheads.
- A mild ventilation should be keep during all the cultivation process.
- The room temperature should be kept between 20 and 22ºC.
- Fruit bodies should be harvested just before the velum opens.
