Can tea oil trees be used as fungus materials, the cultivation of tea tree fungi

a) Make a slingshot.

The slingshot is my favorite toy when I was a child, I take the homemade slingshot to hit the bird when I have time, sometimes it can really knock the bird down, this homemade slingshot is generally made of the branches of the tea oil tree, because the tea oil tree has a very hard wood, not easy to pull off, it is very durable after making a slingshot, and the branches of the tea oil tree are uniform and regular, which is very suitable for making a slingshot.

b) Make a spinning top.

In the past, the spinning top was the favorite toy of rural children, at that time, the family did not have money to buy toys for children, and the children relied on their own ways to make toys, the spinning top can be made of wood, but it must be made of hard wood, and the best material is the tea oil tree. The hardness of the wood of the tea oil tree is quite high, and the size of the tree is also suitable for children, so it is easy to cut the tea oil tree with a knife to go home.

c) Burn into charcoals.

There is no heating in our rural areas, and we rely on firewood to keep warm in winter, so we usually stay in the fire bucket, which is a kind of roasting equipment made of wooden boards, and put some burning charcoal under the fire bucket, and people can sit on the fire bucket to roast the fire for warmth. The charcoal is the leftover from the firewood, and the charcoal burned by the tea oil tree has a long burning time and is not easy to ash, so the tea oil tree is the best charcoal material.

The tea oil tree has many uses, its fruit tea and tea tongue can be eaten raw, sweet and sour when ripe, and when it comes to the camellia season, the nectar in the camellia is quite sweet, which is our favorite when we were children.

1. Hunan hybrid Camellia oleifera research has made great progress, the yield of camellia oil per mu can reach 35 kg, and the growth cycle of Camellia oleifera seedlings cultivated by two-line hybrid method can be shortened to 1-2 years, and the seedling cost is two-thirds lower than that of ordinary grafted seedlings. 2. The planting cost of camellia oil tree per mu for 3 years is about 600 yuan. 3. The yield of Camellia oleifera per mu can reach about 50 kg, and the output value per mu can reach more than 2,000 yuan.

Addendum: As an aside, I'm from Changsha, Hunan, hehe.

1.Nourishment. Tea tree mushroom is a kind of wood-rotting fungus with weak ability to decompose lignin and cellulose.

Wild tea tree mushrooms are only found on Camellia oleifera trees. After artificial domestication, broad-leaved trees such as tung oil, maple, willow, oak and poplar can be used as cultivation materials, but miscellaneous wood chips with loose material and less tannin are more suitable for the growth of tea tree mushroom. It can make full use of bran, rice bran, cake fertilizer, etc. as nitrogen sources.

In addition to the use of miscellaneous wood chips, bagasse, straw, cottonseed husk, and Juncao can also be used as carbon sources. Among the carbon sources, monosaccharides and disaccharides are the best, and the utilization capacity of starch and cellulose is weak. If the cultivation material formula only contains glucose, the mycelium grows loosely, and a small amount of sucrose is used, the mycelium grows densely and grows vigorously.

This indicates that mineral elements are required during the growth of mycelium.

2.Temperature. Tea tree mushroom is a medium-temperature edible mushroom.

On PDA medium, the spores germinated after 24 hours under 26 conditions, and fine hyphae were visible to the naked eye after 48 hours. The optimal temperature for mycelial growth is 23 28, more than 34 stop growing, and can be stored for 3 months at minus 4. The temperature range of primordium differentiation of fruiting bodies is 12 26, and the optimal temperature is 18 24, and lower or higher temperatures will delay primordium differentiation.

The temperature is low, the fruiting body grows slowly, but the tissue is strong, and the mushroom shape is large, ***; The temperature is higher, the umbrella is easy to open and the long-stemmed thin capsule mushroom is formed.

3.Moisture content. The water content of the medium cultivated by tea tree mushroom should be mastered at 60% 65%, that is, grasp a handful of medium with your hands, pinch vigorously, moisten between your fingers, slightly water but not flow, loosen your fingers into a block, and spread out after landing.

However, there are slight differences in different types of wood chips and thicknesses, so they should be flexibly mastered. When the hyphae grow, the relative humidity of the air is required to be below 70%; The fruiting body formation and development period is 85% to 95%, and the growth period is appropriately reduced to prolong the shelf life of the product.

4.Air. Camellia sinensis is a large fungus with aerobic nature, which is very sensitive to carbon dioxide, and the concentration of carbon dioxide is too high due to poor ventilation, which is easy to cause slow growth of mycelium, thick and long fruiting body stipe, small cap, early opening of umbrella, and deformed mushroom.

5.Ray. Tea tree mushroom is a photodemanding fungus, and the fruiting body has phototactic growth characteristics, and suitable diffuse light is necessary for the completion of normal life history.

During mycelium culture, it still grows in the absence of light, but does not form a fruiting body. The fruiting body is not easy to differentiate without light, and the suitable light intensity is 50 300 lux.

6.Ph. The mycelium of tea tree mushroom prefers a weakly acidic environment, which is the most suitable, and the growth of hyphae below or above pH value 4 is sparse and slow.
