To grow champignons, you will need special equipment – the so-called champignon greenhouse, equipped with exhaust ventilation and an adjustable heating system.
These mushrooms love certain soil. They require soil made from cow, pig or horse compost (warning: this is not the same as manure!) mixed with peat, leaf litter or sawdust. You also need to add a few more ingredients to it – wood ash, chalk and lime.
Now you can buy and plant mycelium (in another way, it is called “mycelium”). This must be done under certain conditions. Soil temperature should be kept at + 20-25 degrees Celsius, air – at +15 degrees, and humidity – 80-90%. Mushrooms are seated in a checkerboard pattern, leaving a distance between them of about 20-25 centimeters, since the mycelium tends to grow both in width and in depth.
It takes a week or a week and a half for the mushrooms to take root in a new environment for themselves, and spots of mycelium appear on the soil. Then fruiting bodies should be expected.
The first crop can be harvested about six months after planting. From one square meter you can get up to ten kilograms of fresh champignons.
Then the depleted soil must be updated for the next planting, that is, cover it with a layer of earth from turf, decomposed peat and black soil. Only then can a new mycelium be placed in the greenhouse.
Raincoats are bred using approximately the same technology as champignons.
