this amazing variety of mushroom is called  split gill mushroom the scientific name of   this mushroom is schizophylum communi not only  this is an absolute beautiful but also a choice   edible mushroom that tastes delicious this  versatile species can be cultivated all over   the year under varied temperature in fact it is  a very high tolerant temperature it can withstand   up to 38 degree celsius it is probably the most  widespread fungi in existence and it can be found   on almost every continent throughout the world  this mushroom is found on the dead wood logs   and can be cultivated under controlled climate  as well very easily which you will learn today   in this video itself this mushroom is quite  popular and in very high demand in asian countries   like malaysia thailand as well as also in india  it's quite popular it is found in nature in the   wild on the decaying trees after the rainy season  followed by the dry spells where the mushrooms   are naturally collected in the rural areas in  the tribal population this mushroom is referred   for several kinds of disease and traditional  medicines and they often collect this and also   for their delicious cuisines this mushroom is very  popular it has recently attracted the medicinal   industry for its immuno modulatory and anti-fungal  your plastic and antiviral activities that are   actually higher than those of any other glucan  complex carbohydrate so the research work is   happening on this mushroom a lot of work recently  has started and it's already been established that   it has very high significant medicinal values and  they are often used for aromatic taste profiles   in india in the north estates it's quite popular  in the state of manipur it is known as kanglaine   and it's one of the favorite indians for the  manipuri style pancakes also called panchnam in   mizoram the local name is pasi pa means mushroom  and sea means tiny as these mushrooms grow really   very tiny in the wood and it is one of the highest  rated edible mushrooms among the museo community   even though in other states of india this mushroom  will be quite new and it has recently gained the   attraction of a lot of people and hence it's  getting popular day by day it have a very meaty   texture and it absorbs the taste of gravy or the  spice that you cook them in hence they are quite   flexible you can use it with any cuisine the main  factor will be that you have to know how to cook   them this mushroom has a very excellent shelf  life and as they are not much soft and delicate   like other mushrooms hence it can be stored in  normal conditions and sold fresh in the market   for a lot several more days than other mushrooms  like oyster and button or it can be easily further   dried and which can last easily up to a year and  even longer rehydrating them prior to the cooking   is also quite easy as they readily absorbs all  the water and they regain their form morphological   characteristics the mushroom resembles  undulating waves of tightly packed corals   skies of alien commune is a species of fungus in  the genus kaisophylum the genus name means split   gill and thus this is a split gill fungus it is  actually called split gill because of the unique   longitudinally divided nature of the gills  on the underside of the cap and it actually   shrinks and unfolds according to the nature  the color of these mushrooms can vary a lot   depending upon the climatic situation  it can be creamy yellow or pale white   or even brown the cap is quite small in the  nature and when cultivated it can grow bigger   the average size is around 1 to four centimeters  wide and with a dense yet spongy body texture   they can dry out and rehydrate and thus open and  close many times over the course of a growing   season hence the mushroom footing bodies can be a  year old or even longer in the nature if you find   them and this is a great adaptation for a climatic  climatic condition with sporty grains where unlike   other mushroom species the mycelium only has to  produce just one set of fruiting bodies per year   and it can then dry out and rehydrate and keep  functioning and reproducing itself it's really   a very great strategy for reproduction these  mushrooms are really very nasty and they are   quite easy to spread out and reproduce themselves  hence they are found everywhere we may not have   eaten them otherwise we must have been found them  somewhere either we must not have noticed them but   if you look in the woods on the forest somewhere  there will it will you will find it because the   probability of spreading of this mushroom is the  most as unlike other mushrooms the sex organs   actually not sex organs i will say the sexes the  reproduction in human like we do have male female   and in the fungi they are having two to three  sexes or four sexes but this mushroom is having   around 28 000 different combinations of sexes  hence each individual is compatible with another   27 997 of the species worldwide so you  can see they are quite adaptive and   they are compatible with a lot of their sex and  they can reproduce themselves quite enormously   hence this mushroom is unlike any other mushroom  and this seems to have worked quite well in the   widely distributed skies of islam cultivation  the commercial cultivation technology of   skyzo commune was standardized on the paddy  also in wheat straw or in the sawdust backlogs   the general temperature which has been recorded to  be more suitable is around 28 degree plus minus 2   degree like it can be grown at 26 degree or  30 degree as well but actually as i already   told you that it's quite temperature tolerant  its range can go up to 35 to 30 degree celsius   this mushroom is really very fast growing species  like oyster mushrooms and they can complete their   vegetative growth within around two to three  weeks and can fruit within three to four days   so it won't take much time even to grow the farm  design okay you can you can just go for low cost   low technology mushroom farms because these  mushrooms are quite adaptive and very powerful in   combating all the disease causing other pathogens  as they are the dawn of their own colony so the   main controlling factors of the farm can be the  temperature humidity and aeration the farm design   about the farm design it may be high tech  or low tech if you want to learn about them   you should go through the previous videos and the  link and the playlist shall be shall be included   in the description uh just go through all the  videos on the mushroom in the playlist and you   will find everything about the farm design now  let's understand the cultivation steps involved   in this as commune mushroom there are basically  few steps involved the first step will be   substrate selection so what we have found that  even though it grows in wood in the nature but   for some reason they perform best on the straw  so what you need to do is that you have to select   the substrate and you can just have the substrate  like paddy straw or wheat straw and then what you   need you need to chop them and completely clean  them and then you need to add the supplement now   what why do we need supplements supplements are  just the nitrogen source which actually enhances   your fruiting condition supplements it's not like  that you only need supplements for this mushroom   you can add them for any mushroom like button  oyster shitake lion's mane i have already covered   all those videos where you will learn everything  about these varieties of mushroom and much more   are informed informations are available on the  website bmushroom.com you can go through them   hence you need to add supplements supplements  you can basically use bran like wheat bran or   rice bran you can add around 10 to around 30  percent of the brand it should depend how is   your pasteurization or sterilization chamber  the better it is the more you can supplement   the maximum you can use is 30 percent and once  you mix the supplements thoroughly then you need   to in insert all this prepared substrate into the  bags the bags can be filtered bags or you can use   cotton used bagged or simply neck capped bags as  used in the asian countries or the main function   of the bags are that the excess co2 which will  be the mycelium will be producing during the   vegetative drip growth it should have the passage  to actually flow out so that's the main thing   and you need to have something for that so  basically you can put the substrate which have   which have the moisture of around 60 percent and  how do you maintain the substrate with 60 percent   you have to insert and submerge the substrate  and the pre-mixed substrate of straw and this   supplement inside the water for around 10 to 12  hours and after that you take it out and then you   pasteurized or sterilize it for pasteurization  and sterilization either you can use an autoclave   which will take the temperature to around 121  degree celsius at around 15 psi and you can just   keep it for around 1 to 1.5 hour that will be  sufficient but it will depend upon the volume   and your equipment otherwise you can also go for  low cost steam sterilization chamber which where   you can maintain around 100 degree celsius  using the steam and around 4 to 6 hours of   pasteurization will be sufficient and after that  the step of inoculation during the inoculation   it is better if you can maintain a closed  environment where there will not be any fly   and insect or any dust particles because you don't  need any other contaminants other than any other   competitor to enter inside your sterilized  fruiting bags and the inoculation has to be   done with the using on the spawn phylum spawn  can be used of around five to twenty percent   the more you use the better become the better it  is because this mushroom is very fast growing and   the mycelium starts dying after four to  five weeks so you need fast fruiting and   i would prefer to use small bags so you should use  small growing bags of around 12 to 15 centimeter   the smaller the better it is because  the vegetative growth will be over very   soon and then you will have your footings so the  inoculation process you can add spawn if you can't   make your spawn or you don't have any access you  can simply buy from us just visit bmushroom.com   there you will get all the details about buying  the spawn also several kind of trainings are   available where you will be able to understand the  mushroom training also there are buyback buyback   programs where if the farmers do cultivate  and they don't have any place to sell their   product we do provide them all the facilities  including buying it back you can just check it out   once the inoculation process is done until now  it was all similar to most of the mushrooms   now the step of incubation during the incubation  there are few tips i would suggest you you should   use for this mushroom specially actually this  mycelium produces kind of pungent spell which   attracts a lot of flies or it can attract just  like any other mycelium they do have they do emit   a lot of heat from there and also kind of special  aroma of the mycelium which do attracts a lot of   organisms just like mites or flies so i  would suggest you should use the net uh   the net will help you in separating the pest  from your substrate the incubation period uh   the bags basically rest inside your farm where  the mycelium spreads throughout it and it will   take around 20 to 21 days for the bags to fully  colonize and don't place your bags too close to   them because sometimes actually especially  for this mushroom it produces a lot of heat   and they may start to sweat a lot and the further  metabolites and other contaminants may awaken   so you should have sufficient gap and if it's  possible to go for temperature controlled   high-tech farms where you can easily control all  the climates and you can change your customize   your growing room environments the bags will be  followed fully colonized and once it is fully   colonized now is the stage for fruiting during  the fruiting stage simply you need to make four   to six slits on the backs make just few cuts you  can make rounded curve curve cuts on the backs   now there are certain factors you need to change  in your footing room either either you just change   the environment of your grow room or shift the  bags from your incubation room to the separate   fruiting room in that footing room just increase  the relative humidity to around 90 to 100 percent   if you can and actually the as commune mushroom  floating bags requires a lot of water you should   mist spray or bath the media back sometimes and  during the summer months it requires around two   to three times spray the bags the media bags needs  to be moist all the time to produce good harvest   fruitings and harvest won't take much time within  four to six days you will start seeing mushrooms   coming out and you can harvest them within  next two to three days uh harvesting these   mushrooms are also quite simple similar to  oyster mushrooms twist them from the base   and these mushrooms are quite hard and brittle you  can easily feel them your through your hands and   most harvest will be achieved in the first harvest  itself unlike other mushrooms don't expect several   flushings from them yeah you can get further  footings but most of the time we prefer only   one flushings very high quality flushings but you  can get a second crushing as well it depends upon   the cultivator few important points you should  keep in mind while cultivating this mushroom   the first point should be don't cultivate this  mushroom with other varieties of mushrooms   this is a special mushroom actually as i already  told you the mycelium is very vigorous the spores   are having a lot of very different genetics and  it can really contaminate your other bags what i   mean by contaminant is that cross-contamination  of spores and mycelium may occur within this   same fruiting bag so i won't suggest you to  grow this mushroom with other varieties of   the mushroom in the same unit you should separate  the fruiting environment for this mushroom grow   them in separate area where you can cut where  the spores of this mushroom don't spread out   and you have proper hygiene maintenance there and  they are super strong the best thing is that they   can overrun the trichoderma as well so you won't  be seeing much green mold black mould because this   mycelium is very strong and as with any other  mushroom the cultivator needs to always proper   maintain proper sanitization proper hygiene  always wear the mask and safety equipment   should be handy you should prefer gloves etc  it should be it's common with every mushroom   under very rare cases just like several  other fungi it can be pathogenic and harm   even a comprised compromised person actually  what happens is that there are rumors that   this can infect human actually not only  this even the pedestrian mushroom can   harm the humans in fact anything any bacteria  which even the bacterias in our gut can harm us   every second we are breathing we are beating the  spores there are hundreds and millions of spores   it can be including this mushroom variety as well  so there are several kind of mushrooms in the wild   as well which are actually toxic so should we  worry about it all the time no actually what we   need to do is that we should have proper knowledge  about the mushrooms mushrooms are not to be feared   it's to be loved and like just like mushrooms  there are several vegetables in fact several   plants there which can harm us so that's not an  factor uh the main thing is that this fungi only   harms those people who are immune compromised  those people they are very weak and they have   terminal illness inside them and they can't  actually they are having problems with their   immune immune system and unlike only not this  mushroom with every mushroom and not i'm i'm not   talking about eating it eating this mushroom is  very safe and it will cure you it will increase   your humanity but severals and millions of spores  of bacterias and pathogens and everything is there   and including the virus including the covet but  whom who are at the risk of these things only the   people who are immunocompromised other than that  this mushroom has been already cultivated and has   been already been consumed throughout the human  generations since thousands of years in asian   countries and now uh even the dmr swollen of india  which is a research institute they do sell the   edible varieties actually all these isophylums  which are cultivated are edible in fact even   the from the wild they can be consumed but i  won't suggest you to consume the mushrooms from   the wild as there are several similar looking  toxic mushroom as well and the best thing is   that to be safe and to be strong that you should  consume mushrooms on your regular diets and which   includes this delicious kaiser phylum commune and  it's very safe and it do improves the immunity   and protects against the illness marketing what  about the marketing concept if you don't have   market for this delicious mushroom the best thing  is that you should try it out and uh yeah if you   can't sell it then just let us know you  can mail us you can whatsapp us we have the   demand for this mushroom in fact there are three  communities which we have created for our farming   farmers where you can just join and post your  requirements for mushroom or if you want to sell   there are hundreds and thousands of people who are  waiting the mushrooms over the you can just join   the bm mushroom worldwide community the links are  in the description you can also join our whatsapp   group facebook group all the forums will help you  in the marketing and to learn further about the   mushrooms you can also join the free webinar which  we keep on conducting on weekly basis the link is   in the description where i will tell you much more  about the marketing and growing this mushroom and   varieties of other mushrooms as well the best  thing about learning is that asking questions   so the best thing is that just write your  questions on the comments mail us whatsapp us   i'm always there to answer you i would like to  help you out so let me know how how was the video   if you liked it and what next you would like  to learn about and do share it video with your   friends and families and subscribe this channel  if you haven't already thank you happy mushrooming you
