mushroom experiment

Love the idea Fog! Thought about that a couple years ago but not for documenting, more for propagation.Then thought, if it worked out,I'd have easy morels and loose the fun of finding them.I heard someone say once,but not sure where :roll:,Enjoy the hunt!Gonna get out in next couple days.A lot going on work and home,but will check on your babie's progress! Good luck to everyone!

 

Fun experiment, I will stayed tuned! Enjoy the grow!

 

looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm sorry,fog. It was worth a try.Maybe we shouldn't cage wild things :wink:

 

That was fun while it lasted. Your heal-all seems to enjoy the experiment.

 

Thanks for including us on the experiment.

 

I wonder if it would have been different if you just left it alone and didnt transplant it.

 

It won't Work. You can't plant a mushroom. It would take decades to propagate morels, if it can be done at a all.
You Planted the Fruiting Body. Its not a seed. The Mycelium which grows under the soil is the actual plant. The mycelium is white stringy and powdery when dry, you have seen it picking or digging in the woods.

Please read David Aurora's Book "Mushrooms Demystified".

Good luck hunting.

 

The next time you get a morel in your own yard put a mason jar over the top of it. If it's not in the shade, try to make some. Pour a little water around it every couple of days. Don't use city water (chlorine). My step father's mother use to do this every year. The Yellow morel will fill up the quart jar and she would have to cut it in pieces to get it out. It sounds crazy, but I seen it happen.
