In rural areas, chicken fir mushrooms are a very popular food, where can they be picked?

Chicken fir mushrooms can be picked in the mountains of the countryside in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and other places, in previous years, there are many wild chicken fir mushrooms, because of geographical location, climate temperature and other reasons, generally in May to October or so can be picked chicken fir mushrooms.

Most of the mushrooms grow on the ground in the coniferous and broad-leaved forests, wastelands, mass graves, and grain fields, and are symbiotic with termites, the two depend on each other, termites spread the fungus for the mushroom, and termites will also obtain nutrients and disease resistance substances on the mushroom.

When I was a child, because I often went to the mountains to find chicken fir mushrooms, I mastered some skills and methods, as well as the ability to observe the weather, how to find chicken fir mushrooms, the most able to find chicken fir mushrooms The weather is July and August, the weather is very hot, sunny for several days, and then it rains heavily The picking period of chicken fir mushrooms is very short, and it is gone in about a week, so it is rarely sold, but it is also very expensive, I heard my friend say that their small county town is about to sell to one hundred and one catties of chicken fir mushrooms are bacteria that grow on termite nests, It's precious.

<> every summer, as long as termites don't move, mushrooms grow on the termite nest. But the chicken fir fungus is also a pampered fungus, and it takes about 24 hours from the time it grows out of the ground to the time it rots. Looking back now, it's also a kind of childhood memory from my childhood, but it doesn't seem to be a flood, or the questioner has a lot of chicken fir mushrooms in the local area, and there is no such thing as flooding in my hometown, but I really saw the biggest one once.

Another time I picked up a nest of black-skinned chicken firs, which was picked up in the mountains where corn was grown, and the soil was red soil. I remember that the rain was very abundant that year, the corn was very good, and the chicken fir growing in this field was also very fat. The largest chicken longitudinal fungus is the single chicken longitudinal fungus, the single chicken longitudinal is a chicken longitudinal up, the size is very large, I found the largest one this year, the diameter is 25 cm long, the chicken longitudinal rod is bigger than the big fingers, the weight is more than 355 grams, and the bottom has not been dug up.

As for this year's acquisition, I estimate that it will rise, after all, since ancient times, it is rare and expensive, as for how big is the largest chicken fir fungus I have ever seen, it is more than 3 catties, but since then, I have never seen a large chicken fir fungus chicken fir fungus is a symbiotic fungus with termites, termites build ant nests at the same time to produce chicken fungus mycelium, forming a common ecosystem, this fungus was originally in the southern forests. For the breeding of chicken fir fungus, 60% of the dead branches, 15% of the broken leaves, 20% of the bran, 2% of the glucose, and 2% of the gypsum powder of the broad-leaved trees with a particle size of 4 5cm were selected, and 30% water was mixed together as the hyphal medium.

The chicken fir mushrooms I have seen are more than 50 centimeters, not very big, and some farmers have picked several kilograms of chicken fir mushrooms, like straw hats, they are huge, and they are also very expensive, and they can be sold for hundreds of yuan, so now picking chicken fir mushrooms is also a way to make a fortune.

The largest chicken fir mushroom I have ever seen was the size of a plate, about a pound in weight, and at that time the family was reluctant to eat it, so I sold it to pay for tuition, and then I never saw such a big chicken fir mushroom again.

In fact, it is very large, and it is also a lot of people's attention, and it is also liked by many people, and in general, the quality is actually very lenient.

Chicken fir in the growth of the rainy season to wait, usually after a burst of rain can go to the mountains to find, if there is a termite nest found, then it is very likely that there are a large number of chicken fir nearby, but to be patient to find. When the number of termites in the nest and their food consumption decreases, the hyphae of the chicken fir will begin to germinate, and when it rains, the chicken fir will break through the soil and form the chicken longitudinal fungus.

When a large number of breeding ants go out in the anthill, the number of termites in the nest will be reduced, and the consumption of food will also be reduced, and the biomass of the mycelium of the chicken fir fungus will accumulate.

Chicken fir is a fungus that grows with termites, and it is also a kind of flora cultivated by termites, and rainy weather will help it grow more.

This is because termites have cultivated the mycelium of chicken longitudinal bacteria when they are gradually nesting, so they can achieve symbiosis with chicken fir trees.

The growth of chicken fir fungus has characteristics, it grows in this place for one year, does not disturb it, and it will grow in the same place in the second year, which is called "chicken nest", when to go out of the nest, but also as agreed. Under the "nest" of the chicken's head, there must be a clod of soil that resembles the structure of a termite nest. If the insects move, there will be no chicken fir here the next year.

Picking chicken fir is also an exquisite thing, first of all, don't tell others about the chicken fir nest, and secondly, you must seize the opportunity. The chicken fir is the most tender and fat when the umbrella cover is not opened, if it is unearthed, the umbrella cover is one, and the meat is old. Pick the chicken fir, to the root of the wet mud, can "raise" it for a day or two, the days are over, the fungus is dry like firewood.

There are many varieties of Changning chicken fir trees, which are usually divided into three categories of green chicken fir fir by color, white chicken fir and yellow chicken fir fir with handsome appearance and delicate meat. The green and white two types are full of trembling and searching in June and July, and the yellow chicken fir is slightly later. Finding chicken fir is a productive labor with considerable profits, and it is also a pleasing entertainment activity, which often benefits both sides.

It is said that picking chicken fir not only has a keen eye and a sensitive sense of smell, but also knows the time of day and the old and slender of the place, because when and which plots of chicken fir are produced, there is a certain "lower number". And once the chicken fir is found, it can only be collected quietly and not cheered loudly, otherwise it will scare the "chicken fir girl" away, and it will not come out in the future. Therefore, some people artificially repeat the harvest in the same "chicken fir nest", and they are very careful to surround the eggplant with rice grains, which is said to be very effective.

<> "First of all, 60-70 parts of cottonseed husk, 2-4 parts of soybean meal, 10-20 parts of wheat bran, 4 parts of sawdust, 5-10 parts of cornmeal, 1 part of superphosphate, 1 part of light calcium bicarbonate, 1 part of lime After adding water, the chain is mixed to make a fungus bag, and then the mycelium mother seed is cut into pieces and placed in the medium and cultivated in a constant temperature environment of 21 1, pay attention to shading, generally after the mycelium appears and then cultured for 45-50 days, the mycelium can grow, and then planted and covered with soil and watered.

1. Artificial planting technology of chicken fir fungus.

1. First of all, 60-70 parts of cottonseed husk, 2-4 parts of soybean meal, 10-20 parts of wheat bran, 4 parts of sawdust, 5-10 parts of cornmeal, 1 part of superphosphate, 1 part of light calcium bicarbonate and 1 part of lime are mixed with water and made into a bacterial bag, which can keep the water content of the medium at 50-70%.

2. After sterilization, cut the mycelial mother seed containing termite secretion into small pieces and gently place them in the culture medium, and culture them at a constant temperature of 21 1 and in a shading environment.

3. Generally, after 3 days, the mycelium will appear on the mother seed block, and the mycelium will grow after 45-50 days, and the mycelium should be dense and relatively strong.

4. Then the cultivated fungus bag can be evenly placed on the three-dimensional multi-layer planting frame indoors, do a good job of avoiding light, and then cover the soil 3-5 cm and pour an appropriate amount of water after planting, and the soil moisture on the mycelium is required to be kept at 65-70%, and the planting can be erected into a support frame with multi-layer barbed wire or nylon silver mesh, and cultivated in a room temperature environment for 30-35 days.

5. Generally, water the mushroom bag 1-3 times a month, keep the humidity of the mushroom bag at 65-70%, usually at normal temperature, generally planted for 23-35 days to produce mushrooms, when the mushrooms grow to 5-8cm can be picked.

2. Where does the wild chicken fir fungus grow?

1. Chicken fir fungus generally grows in coniferous and broad-leaved woodlands, wastelands, mass graves and other places, its base stalk and termite nest are connected to symbiosis, scattered or grouped, in the summer high temperature and high humidity weather, there will be many small white cocci on the termite nest, and then the fruiting body of chicken fir fungus will be slowly celebrated.

2. If you need to look for chicken fir fungus, you can generally look for it from June to September, you need to find it in very hot weather, then suddenly rain and thunder, and the next day it will rain over a sunny time period to look for it, and the probability of finding chicken fir fungus is generally larger.

3. The time of picking should be carried out in the morning, and it is not recommended to pick at noon when the temperature is high, because it is easy to rot. When picking, it is advisable to pick tender chicken fir mushrooms, and it is better to pick chicken fir mushrooms with an angle of 45 on the umbrella edge and mushroom stalk, and it is not recommended to pick chicken fir mushrooms with straight mushroom umbrellas or flipped chicken fir mushrooms, because the taste is relatively poor.
