Features: Due to the extreme rarity and excellent market demand for matsutake mushrooms, the artificial cultivation of matsutake has become a highly focused research topic. In Japan, detailed research has been conducted on the biology of matsutake, the cultivation and propagation techniques of mycorrhizal seedlings, as well as artificial cultivation, achieving significant breakthroughs in semi-artificial cultivation techniques. By transplanting mycorrhizal seedlings into mountainous areas, matsutake beds have been cultivated, and fruiting bodies have grown. At the same time, spore inoculation cultivation and environmental management have successfully increased the number and yield of matsutake beds. China has also conducted research on the ecology, resource distribution, and semi-artificial cultivation of matsutake. This book primarily introduces the resource distribution, ecological habits, biological characteristics, and various cultivation and management techniques of matsutake. It serves as a reference for researchers, educators, producers, and personnel in departments engaged in matsutake product development.
