Common problems in the production of Morchella wheat grain strains
1. Slow growth rate
Reason: insufficient looseness of the filler; low pH; fine material; excessive sterilization
2. The bottom of the bag is not easy to grow
Reason: insufficient ventilation. High loading; no central inoculation hole;
dense mycelium or blocked inoculation hole.
3. Penicillium grows at the bottom of the plastic plug
Reason: long culture time, easy growth after the wheat grain material is dry;
poor culture environment, poor filterability of the plastic plug4. Many sclerotia
4. Many sclerotia
Reason: long culture time; more light exposure.
5. Neurospora contamination
Reason: lax aseptic operation; high culture temperature
