Everything starts from the spore that is released fromthe mushroom. We inoculate the substrate with thespore (seed) of the mushroom. It will begin colonizingthe substrate by forming long threads.These threads grow one cell at a time, and then theybranch and re-branch, growing in every direction theycan, even three-dimensionally.And that mass of threads is called a mycelium(The white thing you see in the bag).The substrate used is sawdust. Because the oystermushroom is seen originally on trees, we addednutrition to the substrate to improve the yield quality,enhancing the protein content.
