Melaleuca alternifolia is a wild fungus, late spring to early fall growth in the spruce, fir coniferous forests or mixed coniferous and broad forests at an altitude of about 2000 to 3000 meters, pine, pungent, oak and other forests, growing in broad-leaved forests on the ground and the roadside, singly or in groups. There are also some growing in poplar forests, orchards, meadows, riverbanks, elm forests, acacia forests, and the roadside riverside of the above forests. Growing singly or in patches, the soil is generally sandy-alkaline or slightly alkaline. Generally, more mushrooms are produced from early May to early June, which belong to the cold and cool type of edible (medicinal) mushrooms.

The main places of origin are distributed in China's Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Tibet, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Shanxi, Jilin, Jiangsu, Yunnan, Hebei, Beijing and other regions. Morel mushrooms on the growth of environmental requirements are very high, it is difficult to artificial cultivation, only a small number of morel mushroom growers in the test planting.

. p>The growth environment of morel mushrooms:

1, temperature, humidity

The morel mushroom is a low-temperature, high humidity fungi, underground mycelium begins to grow in the early spring at 1-2 ℃, the mushroom period in March-June, fall August-September there is a small amount of growth.

The growth period of morel mushrooms is long, in addition to the need for lower temperatures, but also need a larger temperature difference, stimulate mycelium differentiation. In 10-25 ℃, mycelium daily growth rate with the increase in temperature and accelerate, higher than 28 ℃ mycelium daily growth rate is a straight line down, in 25 ℃ mycelium daily growth rate is the fastest, but the fungus moss layer is thin, easy to age, 20 ℃ or so, mycelium growth rate is faster, and dense and thick, so more than the mycelium mycelium optimal growth temperature of 17-22 ℃. The first nucleus formation temperature is 16-21℃, and the substrate formation and development temperature is 4.4-16℃. Humidity is about 65%-85%.

2, light

The weak scattered light is conducive to the growth and development of morel mushrooms, strong direct light has adverse effects.

3, soil

Soil PH requirements in 6.5-7.5 or so, neutral or slightly alkaline is conducive to the growth of morel mushrooms. Morel mushrooms often grow in poplar, birch-based mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests under the humus.

4, air

In the dark and too thick in the leaf litter layer, morel mushroom rarely occurs, that is, or occurs in poor quality. Enough oxygen is essential for the normal growth and development of morel mushrooms.
