The artificial cultivation technology of fir mushroom is as follows:

Fir mushroom is different from other mushrooms, which needs specific environmental conditions to grow. Generally, the growth pattern of fir mushroom is that the grass ants will eat the leaves of fresh grass from the ground and carry these broken green monocotyledon leaves to the ground when they are building underground nests.

The ants secrete formic acid and mix it with soil as a building material. In the ants' nests, the grass is fermented by the formic acid, which creates an optimal medium for the growth of Chickweed, and the Chickweed reproduces and grows on this medium.

In the artificial cultivation of the fir fungus, it is easy to create the right environmental conditions and find the fir fungus sporangium, the only difficult point to overcome is the production of this medium. The medium is mainly formed by fermentation of leaves of green plants such as weeds and anthranilic acid. This provides special nutrients for the growth of the chanterelle mushroom, which gives it a special flavor and unique taste.

There is no way this can be accomplished in artificial cultivation. Taking soil from ant nests can largely only obtain a small portion of the soil containing anthranilic acid fermentation, and the other main purpose is still that this part of the soil contains a large number of chanterelles sporangia, so that in the right environmental temperature conditions, chanterelles can also grow, but because of the difference in nutrients in the medium, the final artificial cultivation of chanterelles flavor is still there is a certain gap between the wild ones.

So, artificial cultivation of chanterelle mushroom is possible, but the flavor and quality is certainly not as good as the wild. In Sichuan Province, Liangshan State Agricultural Research Institute has been successful in artificial planting, and now there are artificial planting in Yunnan, the main technology is to artificially imitate the termite living environment.
