Growing instructions
Preparing the sugar water mixture :
Use bottled mineral water to avoid contaminants like chlorine.
Add about 10% apple or lemon syrup without preservatives (glucose/fructose).
Mix 10 ml of mycelium per liter of sweetened water (for example, 15 ml for a 1.5 liter bottle).
Shake gently to distribute the mycelium well.
Development of mycelium :
Place the mixture in a dark room at a stable temperature of at least 20°C.
Let it rest for at least 4 to 5 days, until the mycelial filaments develop and the liquid becomes cloudy.
Soil inoculation :
Directly on the roots : Gently expose the roots of young trees (aged 1 to 2 years). Rinse them to remove impurities, then soak them in the mycelium mixture for 10 to 15 minutes before replanting.
Soil inoculation : Dig holes or furrows around the target trees (about 1 meter from the trunk).
Integrate a substrate layer (fine peat, vermiculite or sand) mixed with the mycelium.
Water lightly to maintain moisture, but avoid waterlogged soil.
Environmental conditions :
Humidity : Maintain constant humidity in the first weeks after inoculation.
Temperature : Ideal between 10°C and 25°C.
Exposure : Prefer semi-shaded areas or those with filtered sunlight. Prune the trees lightly to allow good light penetration.
Seasonality and harvest
Inoculation : Spring or early autumn, when the climatic conditions are mild and humid.
Expected fruiting : Summer White Truffles generally fruit from September to December, but production can sometimes take several years (usually 5 to 10 years after inoculation).
