![]() ![]() Mushroom grower should understand the basic principles of pinning process and control changes. They are quite different from the conditions for mycelial growth. □ Check out: Mycology Glossary & Mushroom Growing AbbreviationsĪll species require a set of conditions for pinning. Primordium (pl.primordia) - the initial fruiting body, the first recognizable but undifferentiated mass of hyphae that develops into a mushroom fruitbody. Pin, pinhead - a very young mushroom, so-named for the pin-sized developing cap. Hyphal knot - individual strands of hyphae bundle together and prepare to grow a fruit body Hypha, hyphae - individual cells of mycelium That's why it is the most important phase in mushroom cultivation each grower waiting for it ![]() Pinheads or primordia are knots of mycelium that proceed their development into small mushrooms. The change from the vegetative growth (mycelium growth or colonisation period) to the fruiting period (knots, pinheads and mushroom fruit bodies development) is called knotting, pinning, pin setting or pinhead initiation period. It lasts till there are enough nutrients for mycelium and mycelium wait for fruiting conditions. Then spores germinate and they have male and female spores! They literally create lovely pairs, connect and then form mycelium network. As you know mushrooms start their growth from spores after substrate inoculation. ![]()
