keep adding more morel spores or mycelium (gathered from different sources), to the same area each Spring in hopes of increasing the gene pool in that area.Keeping the soil protected from the harsh Sunny heat would likely increase the chances of survival for both the spores and the mycelium kit. keep the freshly planted area covered in a little straw to help hold the moisture in the soil, hot weather is approaching and that soil dries out easy.Morchella provides it’s tree(s) with water so keeping the tree always watered might help form that relationship with the morel by tricking the tree into thinking the morel fungus is providing all that water, the tree might start thinking it needs that morel fungus and is more motivated to form that bond with the morel. Planting near the roots is better than not. A lot of healthy elms have moss like stuff growing at their base or even at times on the lowest parts of their trunks, I wouldn’t rule out the morel/Morchella being in symbiosis with both the tree and that mossy stuff (if present). Also, in the future if a little ground moss appears Don’t kill it because I have heard and suspect Morchella can form relationships with other types of vegetation other than just trees. I would think planting closer to the roots (or if necessary between 2 roots), would increase the chances of forming that relationship. Morchella forms relationships with trees through the root system where necessities like water and glucose are shared/traded between the two. try planting both the spore solution and the mycelium kit near the roots of the tree(s) you are attempting to inoculate.Don’t spend all your spores in 1 place! that spore syringe is undoubtably full of a countless # of spores, you could dilute it, you could even add the whole syringe to a huge bucket with 20+ gallons of non-chlorinated water and that diluted solution would still be potent and very affective for spreading around the property! Tap water has chlorine in it which could kill or harm the spores, distilled and natural water like well water does not have chlorine in it and they would be the best to use (no tap water).(Assuming the spores germinate, survive and thrive). The good news is, since the spores and the mycelium kit were purchased from separate suppliers you are pretty much guaranteed that both kits have separate and different genetics which means they will hopefully cohabitate and produce morels. There is also the issue of wether or not morels need to reproduce with other morels that are genetically different or can a single morel fungus produce mushrooms without interacting with another morel fungus with different genetics?Are all the spore in that syringe from 1 single mushroom, therefore all the spores are of the same genetic makeup? And the mycelium kit likely contains one individual morel fungus with its own genetic makeup. Alternatively, planting a mycelium kit increase the chances of the fungus establishing itself permanently in the soil but there is still a high probability of failure (I can’t list statistics or sources because I have none). Yes, growing from spore to soil is possible but a high probability of failure exists. It is possible from spore however, using the mycelium kit will cut out the step(s) involving germination of the spores and them growing enough to form the amount of mycelium that comes in the kit. I added a few advice tips below at the bottom, if it’s TLDR you can skip to the bottom where the tips are. How to Make a Successful ID Request /r/Mycology and Hallucinogenic Fungi Syringes are shipped capped with a separate sterile 16g syringe needle, and can be stored for several months in a cool location.Questions & general discussion if you have to ask, don't eat it !!!Ĭheck out the following guide before submitting a post: The Gourmet category features high quality, live, liquid culture suspensions (not spores), in 10 ml. These are a more difficult mushroom to produce and require outdoor beds for any degree of success. Classic yellows are found across the continent, in a wide variety of habitats. Deliciosa Morels, with their pointed caps and sparse, vertically arranged ridges, are one group of yellow morels the "Classic Yellow Morels" form the other group, in which the caps are larger and (usually) rounder, and the ridges are randomly arranged and densely packed. The yellow morels of North America have ridges that do not darken with maturity, and caps that are (usually) tightly attached to the stem, without forming a substantial "rim" at the point of attachment.
