The fruiting period refers to the entire process from the germination and growth of fruiting bodies to the harvesting of fruiting bodies. The following precautions should be taken during the fruiting period of morel mushrooms:

1. Firstly, temperature control is important. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night in spring, it is conducive to promoting the growth of fruiting bodies. Moreover, the suitable temperature and high precipitation in early spring provide favorable conditions for the germination and growth of fruiting bodies of morel mushrooms. The fruiting body of morel mushrooms can grow within the temperature range of 10 ° C to 18 ° C. The most suitable growth temperature is 12 ° C to 15 ° C. When the temperature is below 10 ° C or above 18 ° C, the growth of morel mushroom fruiting bodies slows down. The fruiting bodies of morel mushrooms grown in flat sheds are unearthed quickly due to good air circulation.

2. In terms of lighting, light has a certain promoting effect on the formation of fruiting bodies, especially during the developmental stage of fruiting bodies. Light plays an important role. During the growth and development of fruiting bodies, moderate scattered light is an essential condition for producing high-quality morel mushrooms. The fruiting bodies of morel mushrooms have directional light properties and often bend towards the direction of light for growth.

The strength of scattered light also has a certain impact on the color of the fruiting body. If the light is strong, the color will be darker, and if the light is weak, the color will be lighter. During the fruiting period, it is most suitable to control the light intensity at three parts yang and seven parts yin.

3. During the fruiting stage, it is required to control the relative soil moisture content at 50% -70% so that the morel mushrooms can grow smoothly. In terms of management, attention should be paid to the control of two limits of humidity. First, the relative humidity of the air should not be less than 70%. If the air humidity is low, the morchella fruiting body is empty in the middle, light in weight, thin in skin, and prone to dry cracks, which will cause the fruiting body to stop growing. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a humid environment. Spray spray once or twice a day. When spraying water, the water mist should be distributed and dropped to the ground. The second requirement is that the relative humidity of the air should not exceed 90%. If the relative humidity of the air is too high, it will cause oxygen deficiency in the fruiting body. In short, the requirement for spraying water is a small amount multiple times.

4. Field management mainly involves controlling light and humidity. The seedbed cannot be weeded or loosened, and morel mushrooms can coexist with weeds, so weeding work can be avoided in daily life. The reason is that weeding is difficult and can easily damage the mycelium in the soil, affecting its growth. The second reason is that weeds can provide shade for the growth of fruiting bodies. Loosening the soil, like weeding, may damage the mycelium of morel mushrooms and affect fruiting.

When the surface of the cap of the morel mushroom fruiting body is fully extended and shows a morel shaped pit, it can be harvested. However, some morel mushroom fruiting bodies are solitary or symbiotic, and the entire growth process has irregular continuity. Therefore, they should be harvested as they grow to ensure freshness. During harvesting, be careful not to damage the growing fruiting bodies as many fruiting bodies sprout or grow out of the ground.

When harvesting, insert small bamboo slices into the soil and gently pry them upwards until the morel mushrooms loosen before harvesting.
