Setting up a morel patch
« on: May 05, 2016, 08:18:06 PM »

So I came across this video where a guy shows how he sets up morels to grow around his farm. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with these methods? Yesterday a friend gave me a dozen or so morels. Today I'm trying to print a few of them. After they print I'll blend them up and try to make the slurry in this guy's video. I'll try to use the prints to make spawn grain then blend that up for another slurry. The slurries will then be dumped in the woods at a friend's house where I think they could grow.

Yesterday was the first time I tried morels and they are delicious! I'm going into the woods tomorrow to look for more.

where are these native to?

The United States from the Mississippi River east to the Atlantic Ocean and north into Canada. They also grow along the Pacific coast from California to Washington and into Canada.

here in Alberta these have already started and people have been picking them for a number of weeks now. I do not know what their full season is. There are a number of different types. They are said to be delicious when cooked, not to be eaten raw. Seems like they are proof of spring and much fuss is made to find them first.

Yeah the morel season is over now except for maybe extreme northern USA into Canada. They appear along the gulf coast sometime in March. Every week they move a little further north until they Reach Minnesota/Wisconsin/Michegan in late May to early June.

Yeah... It was almost 100 degrees F for like 4 days in a row last week.. I think that shroom season is all but over here as far as I would want to travel.
