I know this is a hard thing to do but I wanna try. Its a bummer that they dont fruit the first year, the year planted. Has anyone gotten morels to fruit the year they planted? I read that the key to fruiting morels is scloretia and this requires a nutrient poor substrate with a nutrient rich substrate within the mycelium web. If morels can fruit in a tray indoors very soon after the setup is made I wonder why it takes two years for fruits outdoors. For fruits indoors I read that scloretia must form within the casing layer. I plan to use a roughly 50/50 mix of applewood sawdust and compost with some birdseed and applewood chips in 200 wide mouth quart jars (PC'd).
Plus has anyone used the karo tech to grow morel cultures? I would like to start this thread to discuse and document my experience/findings.
