Understanding How You Grow Mushrooms : The Basics

Well-known mycologist Paul Stamets, the author of Mycelium Running, an almost manual for the mycological rescue of the Earth, educates his readers of the use and applications of fungi in a practice called mycoremeditation.

Possessing an easy-going and conversational style, Stamets establishes an optimistic tone to convey to his readers that the use of mushrooms have health-related and planetary rewards. To get his readers to support his movement, in his didactic book, Stamets employs a tremendous amount of facts to explain his ideas, which helps the reader understand mycoremediation effectively. He establishes credibility to gain the trust of his readers, and engages his audience into the subject matter at hand by stating words that inspire the reader to have compassion towards helping the planet survive.

Only a small portion of those that live on land is normally visible. Most of the fungus, a complex network of hyphae, grows underground, near the surface. The visible parts of fungi vary greatly in size. Some are so tiny that they cannot be seen without the aid of magnification. Others are quite large. Some mushrooms reach diameters of 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 centimeters) and heights of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 centimeters). Bracket fungi that are 15 inches (38 centimeters) in diameter are fairly common; and mushrooms called puffballs have been known to grow to 60 inches (152 centimeters) in diameter.

Physarum Polycephalum is a slime mold that has a yellow coloring to it and it resides in areas of shade, cool temperatures and moisture. Not only does this slime mold have the name Physarum Polycephalum, but it is also referred to as Polycephalum as suggested by (Jabr, 2012). P. Polycephalum is a multicellular microbe that feeds fungal spores and other microbes because the organisms are heterotrophic (Sauer, 1986). P. Polycephalum is very interesting because it has traits of both fungi and animals, which I find very interesting. It has this ability to move around where it is located to find food by engulfing and surrounding it, and it does this by going through enzyme secretion. Although we know a lot about this organism, for many years it was mistaken as fungi due to the fact that it was thought to be heterotrophic but through further analysis it was removed from that category because they realized that fungi is not as mobile as this organism. P. Polycephalum doesn’t have a cell wall but fungi have cell walls made of chitin, which lead to the line being drawn between these two organisms (Ashworth and Dee, 1975).

It is just the perfect day to gorge on the yummy mushrooms that are stuffed with almost anything. Be it the cheesy jalapeno stuffed mushrooms or the bacon stuffed one, you have all the reason to try making stuffed mushrooms at home or ordering some while you dine out.

A mushroom is a type of fungus. Unlike plants, they don’t need sunlight or seeds to grow.

Mold is a fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae. Spores are the single-celled reproductive unit within bacteria, fungi, and algae colonies which can rapidly help the mold extend a greater distance on a surface. The growth of hyphae on a surface can cause a spoiled appearance with discoloration on foods for instance, the most common colors that appear on food as a result of mold growth are blue, black or green. Mold can grow on various surfaces due to

Much research was conducted in preparation for this experiment, how mold grows, aloe vera plant, and other topics were studied. Harold Mcgee with The New York Times wrote an article titled “Prolonging the Life of Berries” (NYT). In this article useful information about spores was brought to topic. Fruits have mold spores that respond to the environment needed for mold growth to occur. According to Philip Fairey, Subrato Chandra, and Neil Moyer, Mold needs four critical conditions for it to grow. Available mold spores, available mold food, appropriate temperatures and considerable moisture are all determining factors for whether or not mold grows. (Florida Solar Energy Center). Food by its nature begins to spoil the moment it is

They should be grown in moist soil. They can be grown in small areas, not in wooded areas, around creeks and ponds.

It is very easy to grow here as we have a climate that isn 't too cold or for the plants, but sometimes a little warm, and it stays stable throughout the year. We are protected from any floodwaters and have many places to build. We maximise our space by being able to build up, down and sideways on the mountain, getting a lot more space than we would have if it was just a plain old plain.Occasionally we are able to find some ores, and we use those to
