BTW I've been researching at home cultivation for other species, and apparently people are having a lot of success seeding morel patches in the wild (artificial cultivation is still pretty much impossible, still a mystery to get them to germinate).
One of those mushrooms has enough spores to cover a huge area. Good idea to take a super-soaker squirt gun out with you and boost whatever patches you find.
Ive never really tried cultivation. I know people who have.doesnt seem to work. I just love the concept. Noticed they never start till u get at least thunder after winter. And u wanna cold or mild soil best after a day or two of rain in a row we will get about three cycles here in a good year.
"cultivating" morels isn't really cultivation. The people who have any success are literally going out to their morel patch, and taking it home with them, and hoping something grows. Shoveling the soil in to tubs...
However, you can have a lot of success just playing Johnny Appleseed and spreading spore everywhere that looks right. Under your porch, along the side of your house. etc. They will grow, you just have to remember all the places you tried to inoculate.
I may have to go scouting.
You have a secret patch somewhere?

Secret spot lost in a boating accident sorry lol
Yeah, that's true for everybody's patch.
You can cultivate a massive crop around your place and around your neighborhood, just using a bucket and dumping splashes in likely looking places.
