Can russula be planted artificially?
Russula can't be planted artificially; Russula has high economic value, and artificial cultivation is still a difficult variety at present. Due to the rapid development of mushroom production in recent 10 years, a large number of trees such as oak, Castanopsis eyrei and Castanopsis fargesii were destroyed, and Russula lost its mycorrhizal ecological environment. Coupled with the lack of protective harvesting in the producing areas, the output has dropped sharply year by year, so it is urgent to protect the resources of Russula. Therefore, we should strengthen the protection of wild resources while actively overcoming the technical difficulties of artificial cultivation.
Russula can imitate Tricholoma matsutake to artificially promote propagation, build a fungus forest to produce mushrooms and develop production.
How to improve the yield of russula
At present, it is not possible, but artificial propagation method is adopted: the soil with Russula is transplanted into the soil with similar vegetation but without Russula, which not only transplants the mycelium of Russula, but also brings suitable microorganisms. Because root microorganisms play an important role in ectomycorrhizal fungi and mycorrhizal plants, it is often difficult to succeed if only Russula mycelium is added. It is necessary to protect the forest resources on which Russula depends, especially the Russula species such as Quercus cyclobalanopsis, Castanopsis carlesii and Castanopsis fargesii, from being destroyed; This is the main body of natural propagation and artificial transfer of Russula, so as to promote the propagation and production of Russula. At the same time, it is necessary to transform the ecology of the forest area and replant new trees in the forest area with sparse shade; For forest areas that are too old, thinning should be carried out in a planned way and young trees should be planted; For forest areas with poor soil fertility, chemical fertilizer, organic fertilizer or bacterial fertilizer at booting stage should be applied topdressing to promote the flourishing growth of trees, and the number of wild russula will increase accordingly. This is an effective way to realize the protection and sustainable development of Russula resources.
Red mushroom producing area
Wild Russula is mostly produced in Gaoshanhong, Sanming Russula, Jiangxi Ganzhou, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Funiu Mountain in Nanyang, Henan, Shennongjia in Hubei and other places. Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and other foreign countries have also appeared.
Red mushroom price
Because wild Russula can't be planted artificially, its yield is not high, and it has the functions of enriching blood, strengthening body, eliminating dampness, preventing cancer, resisting blood lipid and preventing brain pulse softening. Therefore, there is a great market demand in Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan Province, Malaysia and other places, and the products are in short supply, and the prices have remained high. The market purchase price per kilogram of high-quality dried wild russula is around 600 yuan and as high as 800 yuan.
