Growing instructions

1. Preparing the sugar-water mixture :

   • Use bottled mineral water to minimize the presence of chlorine.
   • Add approximately 10% preservative-free apple or lemon syrup (glucose/fructose).
   • Shake the mycelium tube well, then mix its contents at a rate of 10 ml per liter of sugar water.

2. Mycelium development :

   • Place the mixture in a dark room at a stable temperature of at least 20°C.
   • Let it rest for 4 to 5 days until the liquid becomes cloudy and mycelial filaments appear.

3. Soil inoculation :

   • Dig shallow holes or furrows (approximately 20 cm) around the target trees.
   • Fill them with a substrate made of leaf compost, wood, straw, or humus.
   • Spread the mycelium mixture over the substrate and add a thin layer of dead leaves or straw to preserve moisture.

4. Environmental conditions :

   • Humidity : Maintain constant humidity, especially during dry periods.
   • Temperature : Ideally between 10°C and 25°C.
   • Exposure : Choose partially shaded areas with indirect access to light.

Seasonality and harvest

• Inoculation : Spring or early autumn, when weather conditions are mild and humid.
• Expected fruiting : Grey Chanterelles can fruit from late summer to early autumn, approximately 2 to 3 years after inoculation.
