<blockquote>[the] life cycle of mushroom is divided into two phases: vegetative and reproductive growth. Vegetative growth indicates linear growth of fungal mycelia dissolving complex substrate components into simpler molecules and absorbing them as nutrients. When low temperature, high humidity, much oxygen, and sometimes light are offered,the mycelia cease vegetative growth and begin to produce fruitbodies, which we call mushroom. This is reproductive growth. Mushroom cultivation can be said the practice of obtaining fruitbodies by artificially repeating these two growing stages. | <blockquote>[the] life cycle of mushroom is divided into two phases: vegetative and reproductive growth.
