Growth environment

Morel mushrooms generally grow individually or in patches at an altitude of 2300-3000 meters, mainly in broad-leaved forests dominated by oak and birch with pine trees interspersed. The lower layer is mostly composed of small shrubs and herbaceous plants in the Rosaceae family, and the leaf layer in the forest is thick up to 10-14 centimeters, with a humus layer of 10-30 centimeters under the fallen leaf layer. Cold and warm zones with forest humus soil, forest brown soil, and forest brown soil are more suitable for growth. The Eryin Mountain area with three parts sunlight and seven parts shadow is more conducive to growth. The stimulation of weak scattered light is particularly beneficial for the growth and development of the fruiting body of morel mushrooms. Strong direct light has adverse effects on the growth and development of morel mushrooms, but it is suitable for growing on sunny grassy slopes and decaying soil in sunny birch and poplar forests. From April to June, the relative humidity of the forest air is 59% -53%, the daily average temperature of the forest leaf layer is about 12 ℃, the precipitation is between 31.5-47.5 millimeters, and the soil moisture content is generally between 40% -50%. This is the peak production period of Diebu morel fungus.
