22 trees that can be tapped for sap and syrup | Wild Foodism. As winter wanes and spring approaches, wild foodists all across North America tap into the time-honored tradition of sugar production – mainly, the transformation of maple tree sap into maple syrup and sugar.

Most people associate syrup with the maple tree, and although much of today’s syrup does originate from the sugar maple, all species of maple can be tapped. Even better, many other trees from other genera can be tapped to extract sap, which ultimately can be turned into delicious syrup. In this post, I won’t be discussing the methods involved in tapping for sugar production. Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) The sugar maple yields the highest volume and concentration of sap, making it a superior candidate for tapping.
And there you have it – a list of 22 trees that can be tapped. Cloner le tissu d'un champignon pour produire du mycélium.

Mushrooms are grown from 'spawn' - mushroom tissue culture that has been produced from spores grown in sterile / laboratory conditions (contamination is a big problem at this stage).
Spawn can be obtained from specialist suppliers, then added to a substrate (compost, a log, coffee grounds etc.) to spread their mycelium (thread-like root system) and produce a crop. There are two major stages in mushroom growth. The first is the vegetative stage - the young, developing spawn is encouraged to feed and grow, to get to the second, fruiting stage, when the mushrooms can be harvested. So mushroom spawn suppliers provide the early vegetative stage, and it's up to the grower to nurture it to the fruiting stage.
