The mushroom season has begun, and lovers of quiet hunting are in a hurry to the forest. And not only because others will outstrip them, but also because mushrooms live a short life. I did not have time to collect them in time, and they were already old and destroyed, and all kinds of insects and birds helped them in this.
How long does a mushroom grow?
He is growing very fast. From the moment the rudiment appears to the final maturation of the so-called fruiting body, it takes from 10 to 14 days. A more accurate time depends on the type of fungus, temperature and humidity of the air and soil.
Why so fast? As you know, the fungus develops from the mycelium, which grows in spring, summer, and autumn. So, in this mycelium, young fruiting bodies are formed, scientifically called primordia. As soon as the weather is favorable, they begin to develop rapidly and stretch in length.
Mushroom reaches medium size within 3-6 days. The fastest growth of fungi occurs in the warm period, when it rains and fogs form. But the humidity should not be too high, nor should the temperature be too low ortoo hot. Well suited for the rapid growth of mushrooms temperature difference.
It is impossible to give a definite answer to the question "how many mushrooms grow after rain". Mushrooms do not always appear after precipitation. Because high humidity alone is not enough for them. When it is warm and humid, mycelium develops well.
And the growth of the mushrooms themselves is facilitated by a lower temperature. For example, for champignon mycelium, a temperature of about 25 degrees is considered favorable, and 18-20 degrees are well suited for the growth of the fruiting body.
Width longer than long
So how long does a mushroom grow? It turns out that some mushrooms, such as russula, boletus and boletus, can be collected literally the next day after they crawled out to the surface of the earth. Because their fruiting bodies first grow underground and come to the surface already almost formed. And how much does a mushroom grow after it has appeared from under the ground? Varies, depending on the variety. There are gigantic mushrooms that can grow half a meter per hour. But on average, mushrooms grow by 1-1.5 centimeters per day. In addition, if in the first 5–8 days they grow almost equally in both the height of the stem and the width of the cap, then in the last days the overall growth of the fungus stops, and the diameter of the cap continues to increase.
How long does white mushroom grow?
On the surface of the earth, mushrooms, depending on the species, live from 10 to 12 or 14 days. Whitemushroom, like boletus and boletus, lives 11 days. Boletus, chanterelle, honey agarics are good for collection within 10 days. Morels and lines spoil the fastest - in 6 days. But mushrooms, milk mushrooms, oyster mushrooms will wait for the mushroom picker and all 12 days.
It is also known about white fungus that after five days, under favorable conditions, it reaches an average of 9 centimeters in height, and its weight these days increases by an average of 40 grams per day.
So how much a mushroom grows depends on its type, temperature and humidity. But as soon as the growth of the fungus stops, literally in a day it will begin to collapse. However, this means only one thing: his disputes are ripe. A variety of insects, birds and animals will quickly spread them on the ground and promote the germination of new mushrooms.
