It is a thermophilic plant, it grows at a temperature of 10 degrees to 25 degrees, and is not tolerant to cold, high temperature and drought.

In the case of artificial planting, it is generally cultivated in spring, and the corns are pregnant in the autumn with short days, and harvested in August of the lunar calendar. Ambergris Lake is wild and ripens at different times, from the beginning of September to the beginning of October in the solar calendar.

I ate two bites casually at noon, and in the afternoon, the two went to Ambergris Lake together.

In mid-September, even though the sun is still shining, there is no longer the scorching heat of summer.

Autumn is high and cool, Ao Muyang looks up at the sky, the sky is blue, it seems that it is indeed higher and farther, looking up at the sky with his back to the sun, boundless!

The ambergris lake in autumn becomes demure, the autumn wind sweeps slightly, the lake surface ripples gently, and the lake water in autumn seems to be more blue, I don't know if it is because of the reflection of the blue sky.

Large and small wooden boats float on the lake, some people are casting nets, some people are fishing, some people are swimming in the lake, groups of gray ducks and white geese are wandering on the lake, and from time to time there are wild birds flying up and down, a leisurely scenery.

Seeing Ao Muyang, someone in the village beckoned: "Brother Yang, come to fish? Get on my boat, it's very stable." ”

Ao Muyang smiled and pointed to the lush aquatic plants by the lake, and said, "I'll dig up the cocoon, Shunzi, you can play." ”

The boats in the village are tourist business, and tourists can charter a small boat to float on the lake for an afternoon for 100 yuan, which is very affordable.

At this time, the lake is the most suitable to swim in the lake, the lake water in autumn is particularly clear, in addition to the deep waters such as the center of the lake, other places can even see the bottom of the lake, you can see the fish swimming in the lake, you can see the sand and gravel at the bottom of the lake, you can also see the roots of some aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake.

If you can rock the boat, it is even better to rent a small wooden boat for forty or fifty yuan to go to the lake by yourself.

When the wooden paddle is shaken, the lake splashes, and the waves shine like diamond flowers under the bright sun, which is the most romantic for young men and women.

There are many aquatic plants growing around the lake, such as wild arrowroot, cattail grass, and tall mushrooms.

Mushrooms are very strong aquatic plants, they can grow taller than a person, lush, thick and strong.

This plant is a perennial aquatic herbaceous plant, and if they are not dug up, they will dry up in the winter and grow again the following year.

Although the villages around the lake are not rich, they are not so poor that they can't eat, so no one comes to dig up the white.

And not all mushrooms are suitable for digging out, every year there are some new small mushrooms, these roots have not grown into calluses, and digging is also in vain.

In addition, when the mushroom grows to a human height, it can not be eaten, its cocoon is very large and firewood, can not be cooked, digging is more than a meter high, and the white cocoon they breed is the most tender.

Ao Fugui brought a shovel, he spit two mouthfuls into his hand, and said, "Old and young masters, get dry!"

Ao Muyang gave him a roll of his eyes: "Is the psychosis having another seizure? Do it honestly, don't dig here, it's a bear here, it's not delicious." ”

In front of them was a pile of cocoons swaying in the wind, not very tall, but very stout, this is the bear cocoon.

In fact, the name of the bear is precisely the male cocoon, and the white is the mushroom that has been infected by the black powdery mildew fungus, and cannot be tasseled to grow rice, and the stalk is metamorphosed into a cocoon white.

Some of these plants are very strong, that is, male calluses, they are particularly resistant to disease, the mycelium of powdery mildew can not invade, can not form callus white, in summer and autumn their flower stems will elongate, and then moss flowering, very beautiful.

Ao Fugui went down with an iron shovel, at this time he could not pull out the iron shovel or shovel it, the role of the iron shovel is to cut off its root system, and then lift its plants.

He lifted a mushroom and shook it, and there was no bulging protrusion: "Damn, let you be right." ”

Ao Muyang was speechless.

The two walked along the lake, and happened to meet a young man pestering tourists, and after seeing Ao Muyang, the young man turned around and ran.

Ao Muyang frowned and said, "What is he doing?

Ao Fugui said while looking at the mushroom by the lake: "Hey, a grandson in Wangjia Village, he must be fooling tourists to buy something." ”

Ao Muyang said: "What did he see me running away from like this?"

"I'm afraid of you, you are now famous in Wangjia Village. Ao Fugui smiled.

The tourist who was entangled by the youth nodded gratefully to him when he heard this, Ao Muyang couldn't cry or laugh, he is now notorious, right?

There are many mushrooms by the lake, Ao Fugui found another piece, shovel down, he picked it up and shook it a few times, revealing a snow-white delicate and swollen rhizome, which is the white.

The two tourists next to him also found out, and the female tourist asked hesitantly, "Is this a white man?"

Ao Muyang nodded: "Yes, Coconut White, if you like to eat, you can dig some here, and then go back to the village farmhouse to process it, the Coconut White here is pure natural and pollution-free." ”

He rolled up his trouser legs and went down to the lake, first dug two handfuls of mud and looked at it, this is to check if there are leeches in the lake, the creatures in the ambergris lake are extremely fat, even leeches are like this, once they are bitten, it is quite troublesome.

The water is not bad, he dug a few handfuls of mud and found no trace of leeches, and it seems that the surroundings are safe.

Picking up a shovel and shoveling it down, Ao Muyang also picked up a mushroom.

He looked at it and shook his head: "Unlucky, I met Cinderella." ”

Cinderella is a common name given to the gray cocoon locally, some of the mushrooms are overripe, or the mycelium of the black powdery fungus inside grows too much, which will make the inside of the cocoon white full of black-brown spores, and naturally it is impossible to eat.

Ao Fugui pestled the shovel and was melancholy: "Alas, when will I meet the Cinderella that belongs to me?"

Ao Muyang threw the mushroom in his hand to him: "Oh, go back and hug it." ”

Ao Fugui suddenly laughed and scolded: "Get out!"

Continue to shovel, this mushroom is fresh and white, Ao Muyang washed it in the lake and handed it to the general, the general carried it to the shore and put it down and ran back to wait.

The head of state squatted on the shore to guard, and some tourists saw the collection of callus for the first time, so they wanted to pick it up and take a look.

Seeing this, the Führer immediately exploded: "Meow! Meow!"

Ao Muyang got up and shouted: "Führer, let people see, don't be so stingy, people don't want to rob us." ”

Listening to his words, the Führer gathered his body and lay on the shore again to bask in the sun.

The tourists were amazed when they saw it: "Yo, little brother, you cat is really spiritual." ”

Ao Muyang said with a smile: "Cats are animals, and they have spirituality in themselves. ”

The general twitched his leg with his tail, and he had to add: "Of course, dogs also have spirituality." ”

As he spoke, he touched the general's head, and the general squinted and drooped his tongue, with a dog's face and a look of enjoyment.

One after another, Ao Muyang cleaned up a lot of cocoon, he cut it off on the spot, threw the plant back into the lake, it will gradually rot and be eaten by fish, shrimp and crabs, or turned into nutrients and precipitated to the bottom of the lake, and the cocoon white was taken home by him as a vegetable.
