Growing Procedure
Best breeding Hericium coralloides results with sterile substrates based on beech flour. Aim for only single fruiting bodies on the substrate, better leave only few fruiting windows for the fungus. Breeding on logs is also possible.
Coral tooth fungus do not need a ripening phase after successful colonization of the substrate, you can immediately transfer it to the fruiting phase.
You will get an optimal result in the form of a single fruiting body if you let the fungus fruit through the filter.
