Growth habit of Tian ma

I'm afraid of the cold and dry environment, and I'm afraid of the cold and water. Tian ma has no roots and green leaves. In the whole life cycle of 2 years from seed to seed, except that the sexual period is about 70 days on the surface, it lives in the soil with tubers all year round. The nutrition mode is special, which is specially obtained from the mycelium of Armillaria mellea invading the body for growth and development. It should be rich in humus, loose and fertile, and the soil pH is 5 5-6.0, cultivated in sandy loam with good drainage.

Cultivation techniques of Tian ma

First, cultivate Armillaria mellea bacterial material or bacterial bed. Generally, broad-leaved trees can be used as materials for cultivating Armillaria mellea, but Quercus, Quercus, chestnut, Quercus variabilis and other trees are the best. Tian ma is propagated by tubers. White hemp and rice hemp with no obvious terminal bud and small individual are mainly used as seed hemp. The suitable planting period is from November to march of the next year, but it is better to plant in winter in November. The method of bacterial material companion cultivation or bacterial bed cultivation is adopted. Indoor cultivation, outdoor cultivation and air raid shelter cultivation can be selected. Sexual reproduction: Tian ma seeds are very small, composed of embryo and seed coat, without endosperm and other nutritional reserves, so germination is very difficult. In the stage of seed germination, a symbiotic nutritional relationship must be established with the symbiotic germination bacteria such as Osmunda and Pleurotus ostreatus. It can be sown by leaf fungus bed method or with fungus sowing method.
