Method for fungal bed cultivation of mushroom
Problem: To provide a method for fungal bed cultivation of a mushroom of a large size having an excellent shape and crunchy texture, a mushroom cutting useful for the fungal bed cultivation method, a culture medium for fungal bed cultivation into which the cutting is transplanted, and a culture medium suitable for fungal bed cultivation. Solution: A method for cultivating a mushroom in a fungal bed comprising a step of transplanting an isolated cutting of the mushroom into a culture medium for fungal bed cultivation, an isolated cutting of a mushroom to be used in the method, and a culture medium for fungal bed cultivation of a mushroom into which the cutting is transplanted.
1. A method for fungal bed cultivation of a mushroom, said method comprising:
transplanting an isolated young fruit body of a mushroom cultivated on a fungal bed into surface of a solid culture medium in which mushroom mycelia have extended throughout the solid culture medium, and
growing the transplanted young fruit body into a matured fruit body.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mushroom is a hon-shimeji mushroom ( Lyophyllum shimeji ).
3. An isolated young fruit body of a mushroom cultivated on a fungal bed to be used in a method for fungal bed cultivation of a mushroom, said method comprising:
transplanting the isolated young fruit body of a mushroom cultivated on a fungal bed to the surface of a solid culture medium in which mushroom mycelia have extended throughout the solid culture medium, and
growing the young fruit body to a matured fruit body.
4. The isolated young fruit body of a mushroom according to claim 3 , wherein the mushroom is a hon-shimeji mushroom ( Lyophyllum shimeji ).
5. A culture medium in which mycelia of the mushroom have extended throughout the solid culture medium into which the isolated young fruit body of a mushroom of claim 3 or 4 has been transplanted.
6. A method for fungal bed cultivation of a mushroom, said method comprising:
(a) inoculating a seed culture of the mushroom on a solid culture medium for fungal bed cultivation to prepare a first culture medium in which mushroom mycelia have extended throughout the solid culture medium;
(b) growing a young fruit body from the first culture medium obtained in (a);
(c) isolating the young fruit body grown in (b);
(d) separately from (a), inoculating a seed culture of the mushroom on a solid culture medium for fungal bed cultivation to prepare a second culture medium in which mushroom mycelia have extended throughout the solid culture medium;
(e) transplanting the young fruit body isolated in (c) on the second culture medium prepared in (d); and
(f) growing the young fruit body transplanted in (e) into a matured fruit body.
