morels
- Thread starter CAPCOM
- Start date
Few things are as choice as fresh morels. If you manage to propagate them I'll gladly buy or trade for a couple pounds each year. 
I always heard you could set up an outdoor mushroom area for morrels... but id did not make sense to try cultivating them indoors?
i dont recall the details as to why. i could be way off there.
but from what i remember you basically take a bed, trim it with some steel edging or bricks or what ever, then line it with geotextile, put down pasteurized medium, then some colonized spawn then cover it in black plastic untill it gets warm enough... then you let it go.

Ok sorry this is a french link but I have tried last year, http://www.cultiverlamorille.izihost.com/culture_du_mycelium_096.htm
here in Quebec they should start to show in a week, will see if they grow in new location.

They sell kits for this.
We're pretty shafted on mushrooming down here ...Wicked Mike said:
Not too many thrive, of the legal one's anyways ...
Would love to get some, the dried ones Ive bought are tasteless 
Heard its very hard if not impossible to grow.

... but of those you have claim to the great story of the finding of the single specimen of P. tampanensis! Philosopher Stones have literally gone global... no other state can say that!
As to morels - I've only found a few extremely small specimens after a small brush fire in the woods once; they were worm ridden and not eaten. So my experience is more or less with the re-hydrated dried (not so great) kind.
I'd be over the moon to find the ones pictured in the OP. How I've longed to try them how most say is arguably the best... pan fried in BUTTER!!All the best in your sporulating adventures and endeavours, Jeff!
yeah, $49.99.Wicked Mike said:
I'll take the challenge, and perfect the success.
Thx for the well wishes. I obtained these through a friend at work. Yes, I know someone who shares their morels.Alchymystic said:

Dried properly they retain their taste. and I have heard the same thing about growing them.dragonsfire said:Would love to get some, the dried ones Ive bought are tasteless

you talkin about the cow pasture species? I have seen them before too.grantmichaels said:
Have you tried using agar dishes to grow the mycylium, makes things easier.
Best way to grow spores and then transfer them is to grow them in a rich environment, then you can place in a food rich liquid base.
And you have successfully done this with not just any fungi, but morels? From what I have gathered morels require certain things to grow and they require all of them at certain times.dragonsfire said:Best way to grow spores and then transfer them is to grow them in a rich environment, then you can place in a food rich liquid base.
If there was anything good that came out of the Carlton Complex Fire 2014 and the Twisp River Fire 2015, it's the Morels. People are killing it. Boxes and boxes of them. Buyers are setting up "buy stations" all over the place and taking semi truckloads out of the valley. No idea how much they're paying but Morels are at epic numbers right now. A friend of mine picked 30lbs in about 5 hours.
Sell me a big box fullScoville DeVille said:
. I had morels for dinner tonight. Love emScoville DeVille said:
Just yoking around we have some nice ones here just harder to find/ less abundant. I'm all the way across the pond in Maine
Actually they ship fresh morels from Oregon and Washington overnight and they arrive in perfect condition.CAPCOM said:
