  1. 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).
  2. 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.
