Metla Project 3346

Regulation of fruiting body production of Boletus pinophilus.

Duration: 2002-2007   Keywords: ediple mushrooms, fruiting body, fungal biomass, mycorrhiza
Research project group: Distinct projects - Forest-based enterprise and business activities

Objectives

• The aim is to investigate soil or climatic factors, which affect sporocarps production of ediple fungi in the forest and the possibility to affect the sporocarp production by irrigation.
  
• This research is involved in MYKOS-project (pdf-file) "Fungi as a resource of Employment, Sustainable Development and Economic Diversification within Rural Realm" of Leonardo da Vinci program. Participants of MYKOS from Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece will use the information of the project to promote employment and utilization of fungi in rural areas.

Results

• Effect of irrigation on fruitbody production of mushrooms in a Finnish Scots pine forest.
