how do nutrients surface?
    #5374224 - 03/07/06 01:16 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I was just curious. I have my first substrate layer of about 5 inches incubating...and I was thinking. How to the mushrooms, if they are near the surface, absorb the nutrients at the bottom? I mean they have to, or why else would a thick sub. layer be better that a thick sub. layer? Anyone know how this happens?

It's done through a network or easier yet think of the shrooms drinking out of crazy straws! :wink:

Okay, fungis and fungirls, it's classroom time. First, terminology. Mycelium is the mass of interwoven filamentous strands (hyphae) that fungi use to assimilate nutrients in the environment. Psilocybe fungus has a septate mycelium, meaning that each hypha is divided at regular intervals by cell walls. This restricts the complexity of the molecules used for nutrition, since they must be able to pass through the cell walls, composed mainly of chitin. In other words, while we humans stuff food inside our bodies and then digest it, mushrooms must digest the food first before ingestion.

If the nutritional source is a simple organic compound, such as simple sugars and amino acids, the mycelium can transport the food directly through their cell wall. If the available food is a large, complex, organic compound, such as lignin, complex sugars, pectin, and cellulose, then the food must be digested before it can be absorbed. Mycelia will produce various enzymes that are substrate specific in order to break down complex food material to soluble compounds that can be transported through the cell wall. When exposed to new and complex nutrients, the shroom will take some time to adjust the production of digesting enzymes to the new food source, so the cultivator should either ensure a supply of simple nutritional foods, or at least avoid 'bait and switch' feeding. There's the bell, class dismissed.
