The compost for cultivating flammulina mushrooms includes sawdust, rice bran, lime, organic fertilizers and a small amount of water. The compost is stirred, then put into plastic containers. After cooling, it is inoculated with the spawn of flammulina mushrooms. The containers are placed in a cultivating room at a low temperature of about 44 ° Ｆ for 55 days or so before the mushrooms are ready to be picked.
金針菇以塑膠瓶作培育器，培育土則是木屑、米糠、石灰、有機肥料與少量水分的混合物，培育土在攪拌混合後，裝入瓶中，推入高溫鍋爐消毒殺菌，待冷卻後，接上菇菌種，送入低溫培養室中，經過五十五天左右，即可採收供食。
