Mushroom spawnis simply the mycelium, or “vegetative growth” of the mushroom, and the material on which it was grown. Spawn can come in the form of grain (such as rye berries), sawdust, woodchips, etc. This mycelium-infused material is then used to inoculate larger batches of substrate ...
Southern slopes can be a hotbed early in morel mushroom (morchella) season because the sun warms the southern hillsides far more quickly than the north side. Bring a thermometer and check the soil temperature. If the thermometer reads between 45 and 50 degrees, there is a good chance you m...
Determining the patterns of genetic variation using molecular markers will provide information on the population genetics of morels, which can also be used to infer their life cycle and mode of reproduction. Several studies have indicated that species in the Elata and Esculenta clades of Morchella ...
True morels (Morchella, Pezizales) cultivated in soil are subject to complex influences from soil microbial communities. To explore the characteristics of soil microbial communities on morel cultivation, and evaluate whether these microbes are related to
