Advice on growing mushrooms yourself in the basement, apartment or garden

Fungi are the oldest and most diverse organisms on our planet. Unlike plants, they do not use photosynthesis and prefer moist, shady locations. Mushrooms contain many nutrients and are particularly low in calories. In Chinese medicine, mushrooms are known for their healing properties. Various symptoms can be alleviated by consumption.

So it is not at all surprising that they are so popular. Many hobby growers create their own mushroom cultures in their gardens or cellars. You really can't get mushrooms fresher than from your own culture. In this guide you will find out everything you need to know about growing these delicious mushrooms at home. Hygiene in mushroom cultivation in particular is one of the most important core criteria.

1. What are mushrooms?

Fungi form their own kingdom, they are called eukaryotes. Unlike plants, fungi do not photosynthesize, they feed heterotrophically. They are among the microorganisms, because fungi are unicellular or multicellular. Fungi are particularly diverse, both morphologically and physiologically. The fungus spreads via spores.

Fungi can form hyphae, mycelia and fruiting bodies. The different fungi are classified into microscopic fungi, ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. The ascomycetes refer to the so-called sac fungi, the basidiomycetes include the pillar fungi. However, the systematics of the different fungi is much more complex due to their biodiversity.

Fungi are of considerable importance for the material cycle because they break down organic matter. The impressive organisms are of great importance for life on earth, life without them would not be possible.

Mushrooms are indisputably one of the oldest and most diverse creatures in the world. The area of application of the mushrooms is large, they can be found in food production, industry and the production of active ingredients. Edible mushrooms are extremely popular and an indispensable part of various dishes.

2. Life cycle and way of life

When people think of mushrooms, they envision the fruiting bodies that grow above ground, but that is the smaller part of the fungus. The root is the much larger part of the fungal organism, they are underground. The larger part of the fungus is called the mycelium, which can spread underground for miles.

The mushroom consists of several parts. The mushroom fruiting body consists of a stalk, cap, lamellae, tubes or pores. Champions belong to the lamellar mushrooms, while porcini mushrooms belong to the tubular mushrooms. Reishi is one of the porous mushrooms. The mushrooms are classified based on this property. The seeds of the fungi are the spores, which are found in the lamellae, tubes or pores. When the spores are fully mature, they fall out.
