Know About the Growth of Mycelium

 

Cubensis mycelium growth refers to the period after spawning and before the compost is taken out of the tunnel and placed inside the growing space. Or, once mycelium grew in compost in the growing space, it persisted there until the compost was covered in casing soil.

 

What does place when mycelium grows in compost?

Spawn is incorporated into the compost, and the mycelium-like threads that the spawn carries proliferate and colonize the compost. The mycelium develops slowly at first then quickly after seven to eight days. Growth halts on its own after the mycelium has fully colonized the compost. The compost activity suggests this. Activity is the difference in temperature between the compost and the surrounding air as well as the movement of air through or around the compost. Activity increases when growth is abundant, whereas activity decreases when growth is scant.

 

The optimal time for the mycelium to grow

The best period for compost colonization has a straightforward solution. At the time that activity starts to slow down, the compost is completely colonized. The exact amount of time depends on the system, season, and kind of compost. There are undoubtedly outliers, but the ideal period is of 16 to 19 days.

 

Longer is always better

Compost that has been colonized but before being used has certain amount of laziness it should wait a long time. Low activity is evident, which may cause excessive mycelium development. There is not enough water available for the mushrooms since the compost can no longer absorb moisture. A reduced yield in the second flush will be the outcome.

 

Check the fan's position

Compost that has been incubated for a longer period and contains less moisture (61-62%) has more issues than compost that has greater moisture (64-65%). If you suddenly need to keep the compost in the tunnel for a longer period, compost with high moisture content absorbs water more effectively. Pay close attention to the fan setting as well for Cubensis mycelium .
