What is the principle of the effect of light on mycelium maturation?
The importance of light to the cultivation of morel mycelium far exceeds the heat radiation heating function brought by light itself. Morels grow phototropism, and if the direct light is too strong, they tend to grow crooked.
In production, we found that when the time of scattered light exposure is increased, the speed of mycelium decomposing nutrient bags will be significantly accelerated, and the speed of primordium formation will be significantly accelerated, with more and more uniform numbers, and the time of physiological maturity will be earlier. In addition to the greenhouse effect brought by scattered light itself, which leads to temperature rise, accelerated nutrient decomposition and maturation, the light itself also has an important effect on the stimulation of mycelium.
As for the mechanism, it is still unknown. However, we can use this phenomenon to control the intensity, duration and frequency of light.
