Mushroom love in the tunnel: How Jonathan Hetzendorfer breeds local specialties!

In Frauenthal, local resources are worked in an innovative way to meet the increasing demand for fresh mushrooms. The block power plant from Lukas Liechtenstein delivers fine wood shavings that serve as the underground for the growth of mushroom myzel. Daniel Konrad, operator of Schilcherland mushrooms, explains that these chips are initially sterilized before they are used to use Kornbrut to create the basis for the mushroom harvest. In a historical tunnel that was built in 1813, herbal sides, oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms thrive under optimal conditions that are generated by the natural moisture of the tunnel. This process not only saves Konrad energy, but also enables sustainable mushroom production because the parameters do not have to be artificially created. This shows the efficiency and ingenuity of modern mushroom breeding, as orf.at reports.

Another example of successful mushroom production can be found at the "Dorfplatz" in St. Andrä-Wördern, where Jonathan Hetzendorfer works in his "mushroom workshop". The workshop, which is housed in a converted heirship container, enables mushrooms such as Shiitake, herbal sides and rose pitchlings. Hetzendorfer receives the substrate, consisting of heat -free wooden shavings, currently made from external suppliers, plans to produce substrate itself from external suppliers. His sustainable philosophy includes avoidance waste waste - not sold mushrooms are dried to extend their lifespan. According to Hetzendorfer, the seasonal adaptation of breeding conditions is crucial; The temperature in the container is adjusted depending on the season to enable the mushrooms to grow optimal. This is in accordance with the endeavor to offer high quality products, such as Bpww.at
