This invention relates to the field of edible fungi spawn production technology, and more particularly to a yellow-lineage morel
mushroom containing two
mating type genes.
Morchella sp. This invention discloses a pure strain of morel mushrooms, its preparation method, strain products containing the pure strain, and its use in the cultivation of *
Morchella asiatica*. The
genome of this pure strain contains both
mating type genes MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-2-1. The
advantage of this invention is that by placing multiple spores in a
liquid culture medium for co-
germination, the primary hyphae carrying different
mating type genes will naturally fuse, forming visible antagonistic lines at the colony interface. Hyphae are picked from the antagonistic line region, and combined with PCR screening of the
mating type genes, to efficiently obtain double-
mating type strains. Furthermore, during the
primary culture stage, covering the material surface with sterilized soil and controlling the temperature at 18-24℃ can induce the hyphae to expand in a directional, parallel manner from disordered twisting, and promote the differentiation of
sclerotium-related structures at the casing soil-
bottle wall interface, thereby significantly improving the quality of the
primary culture.
