[0002] Morel mycelium is the initial stage of morel mushroom growth and development. It is white, fluffy, and composed of many fine, interwoven hyphae. These hyphae act like the "roots" of the morel, responsible for absorbing nutrients and water from the surrounding environment, providing the material basis for the formation of the fruiting body. Morel mycelium has relatively demanding growth requirements, preferring slightly acidic, well-drained soil or culture medium. Mycelial growth is most active within a temperature range of 15-25℃; excessively high or low temperatures will inhibit its growth rate. Sufficient oxygen and a certain amount of diffused light are also essential conditions for healthy mycelial growth.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.
[0027] First embodiment:
[0028] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the morel mycelium culture device provided by this utility model includes: a shell 10 and a plurality of culture trays 20 slidably connected to the shell 10. The shell 10 is the maintenance structure of the device, covering the outside of the device, and its shape is as follows. Figure 1 As shown, several culture trays 20 are connected in series by soft ropes 13. The other end of the soft ropes 13 passes through the top plate 12 at the upper end of the outer shell 10 and is located outside the outer shell 10. A column 11 is provided inside the outer shell 10, and a bracket 21 is slidably connected to the column 11. The bracket 21 is a rectangular frame, and slides 23 are provided at both ends of the bracket 21. The column 11 has a groove that matches the slide 23, allowing the slide 23 to slide within the groove. The soft rope 13 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bracket 21. The upper end of the culture trays 20 is an upper box 24. Through holes are opened on both sides of the bracket 21 for the soft rope 13 to pass through. It should be noted that after the soft rope 13 passes through the bracket 21, it is fixed in the through holes of the bracket 21 with glue or the like. A pulley 16 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the top plate 12. After the soft rope 13 passes over the pulley 16, its end hangs down to one side of the outer shell 10. Figure 3 The diagram shows the initial state of the apparatus. Two workers, positioned on either side of the apparatus, simultaneously pull the flexible ropes 13 on both sides at equal intervals. The culture trays 20, pulled upwards by the ropes 13, slide upwards along the column 11. Culture medium and inoculum are then added to the culture trays 20. Finally, the ropes 13 are pulled further, causing another culture tray 20 to move upwards. This process is repeated until all culture trays 20 in the apparatus are inoculated with inoculum. The final state is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the position of the culture tray 20 on the column 11 is fixed. Figure 4 , Figure 7As shown, a threaded hole is provided on the other side of the slide groove of the column 11, and the outer shell 10 is provided with a slot at the position of the threaded hole. The slide 23 of the bracket 21 is threaded with a bolt 22. When the culture tray 20 reaches a certain height, the bolt 22 is rotated and the end of the bolt 22 enters the threaded hole in the column 11, thereby fixing the bracket 21 to the column 11 with the bolt 22. Since the culture tray 20 and the bracket 21 are integrated, the position of the culture tray 20 is also fixed.
[0029] By setting up components such as soft ropes 13, the culture tray 20 can be moved from a low position to a high position. Compared with existing technologies, staff can transport the culture tray 20 to a high position in the device from the spot.
[0030] Second embodiment:
[0031] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the lower end of the culture tray 20 is a lower box 25, which is an opening facing downwards. The lower box 25 is fixedly connected to the upper box 24. Inside the lower box 25, there is a light box 251 and a water tank 252. The light box 251 is a lighting device. The water tank 252 is a cavity, closed on all sides, with several small holes at the bottom. The water tank 252 can be temporarily fixed to the lower box 25 by magnetic attraction or other means. A soft plug 253 is provided on one side of the water tank 252. When the soft plug 253 is pulled out, the water tank 252 is filled with water, and then the soft plug 253 is plugged back in. Under atmospheric pressure, the water in the water tank 252 will not spray out from the small holes at its lower end. When the soft plug 253 is pulled out, the water sprays out from the water tank 252, providing moisture to the mycelium in the culture tray 20 below and increasing the moisture content of the culture medium.
[0032] By setting up light box 251 and water tank 252, the device can be illuminated and the moisture content of the culture medium can be increased, respectively.
[0033] Third embodiment:
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the culture tray 20 is detachably connected to the support 21. The support 21 has hooks at its four corners, which can be hung on the upper part of the upper box 24. The overall state is that the culture tray 20 is placed on the upper part of the support 21.
[0035] With the detachable connection between the culture tray 20 and the support 21, staff can remove the culture tray 20 from the support 21 when preparing culture medium and transplanting morel mushrooms, and place it on the table for operation. This provides more space and makes the operation more convenient compared to operating on the support 21.
[0036] Fourth embodiment:
[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the outer casing 10 has a side plate 14 on its side, and a vent 141 is provided on the side plate 14. A baffle 142 is provided on the other side of the side plate 14 at the position corresponding to the vent 141. The baffle 142 is a thin plate, and its two sides are inserted into the grooves opened on the side plate 14 to achieve connection with the side wall. The air inside and outside the device flows and exchanges through the vent 141 on the side plate 14. When the baffle 142 covers the vent 141, it prevents the outside air from entering the device.
[0038] Fifth embodiment:
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a double door 15 is provided on the other side of the outer shell 10. A pair of double doors 15 are arranged in opposite directions of the outer shell 10. In this way, after opening the double doors 15 on both sides, two workers can operate at the two openings respectively. The culture medium on the culture tray 20 is relatively heavy, and the two workers can lift the culture tray 20 into the device to reduce the working pressure.
[0040] Working principle: Two workers are positioned on both sides of the device and simultaneously pull the soft ropes 13 on both sides of the device at equal distances. After the culture tray 20 is pulled upward by the soft ropes 13, it slides upward along the column 11. Then, culture medium and inoculum are added to the culture tray 20. Finally, the soft ropes 13 are pulled further and the other culture tray 20 is moved upward. This operation is repeated so that the culture trays 20 in the device are all inoculated with inoculum.
[0041] The above embodiments are merely one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications or refinements made to the main design concept and spirit of this utility model that are not of substantial significance, but solve the same technical problem as this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
