Growing Morels In Your Garden! {Day 1}

Growing morels is no picnic.
Several years ago it was unclear if morels could
be cultivated at all outside of their delicate home
in the burn areas around pine forests and peat moss.
Recently: Certain mushroom growing wizards have
managed to grow these rare and tasty treats in their
own backyards and front lawns: Mostly via spreading
spores. With this strain you sort of have to "play God."
You cannot just spread some alder chips and call it good.
You must mimic the EXACT environment they normally grow in.

I live right down the hill from several large patches of morels;
and yet i still have trouble growing them. Last Spring was attempt #1
Nothing sprouted: Despite using both Spores AND mycelium!
This year: I am stepping things up. I am planting as many trees:
Bushes and Mosses etc as i can from the local ecosystem. Also;
I will be taking careful notes: Such as the following: Here we go!

I've planted one pine tree so far.
I believe pine trees are as important to the mushroom
as dead pine trees and pine ash. I will probably end up planting
multiple pine trees. This one is very healthy and will grow for years.

Here is my collection of burnt pine branches and burnt pine needles.
This is ingredient #1 folks! You cant grow without this. In the wild you
look for piles like this to turn over carefully for morel patches.

Here You can see: Peat Moss, Wild sprouts, wild wash. nettles
and an unknown bush that grows prevalently around the morels.

The FINAL ingredient so far is of course: MORELS!
I replanted several Morels into the ground and sprayed
some Morel spore prints: {which i soaked in water for 20 min.}

That's it so far folks! Email me if you need any Morel spore prints!
