Less than 1% of people have eaten mushrooms, and mushroom taxonomists have also mistakenly identified them as enoki mushrooms

The surface of the cap is sticky and slippery, and the stalk has villi near the base...

Isn't this a wild enoki mushroom that has appeared before?

No no no, this time it's about slippery mushrooms!

Slippery mushrooms

Slippery mushroom, also known as pearl mushroom, slippery mushroom, bulbous mushroom family lepidum genus, is a sticky and slippery wood rot fungus that occurs in winter and spring, using decomposed wood and dry grass to obtain nutrients, carbon is an important nutrient and energy source of slippery mushroom.

In nature, the mushroom grows on the fallen wood or stumps of broad-leaved trees such as shell buckets. The mushroom is mostly clumped, and the stalk is 8-15 mm thick and short in diameter. The cap is round, yellow to yellowish brown, golden yellow at maturity, with slightly pale edges. Later, the pearl mushroom mushroom now has radial stripes and a layer of mucus, which is so named that it is smooth and delicious when eaten.

What a slippery head!

Because the habits of the slippery mushroom and the enoki mushroom are very similar, they prefer a colder environment. Coupled with some very similar characteristics, even mycologic taxonomists have mistakenly identified the mushroom as a enoki mushroom.

Then, if you cultivate the slippery mushroom according to the method of cultivating the enoki mushroom, can it also grow into a slender and long shape?

The earliest cultivation of the mushroom is still in Japan, and there are records of artificial cultivation in the early part of the last century. In China, in the 1970s and 1980s, the slippery mushroom was introduced.

Cultivation of slippery mushrooms

Slippery mushrooms are resistant to low temperatures, and the ambient temperature of artificial cultivation is generally lower than 15 ° C to grow fruiting bodies. When it was first introduced, due to the immature technology, it was difficult to control the temperature required for cultivation, coupled with the long growth cycle, it could only be cultivated and promoted in the northeast under natural climatic conditions. Until now, the main production areas of slippery mushrooms are also concentrated in northern Hebei, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and other places.
