Morel Growing Kit Spawn Kit for Outdoor Bed Great Gift Idea

  

Morel growing kit - spawn kit for outdoor bed - 100% gluten free. Makes a perfect gift for any gardener or mushroom lover. Morel spawning kit containing live morchella importuna (black morel) mycelium for outdoor cultivation.

Also known as a "exogenous nutrient bag" this is a 5lb colonized mycelium bag containing all the necessary substrate components needed for successful outdoor fruiting in a morel bed. We have had hit or miss results inside too but have found we needed to bring in soil from outside to have any worthwhile results, so its best to just fruit them outside. Works best in sandy, loamy soil and does not need a symbiotic relationship with trees like some species of morel.

This strain was specifically chosen for its ease of fruiting out of 100s of specimens. Even though we have done all the hard work, getting a clean culture, colonizing the substrate consisting of the correct mixture of grains, wood, starches and more, morels are still vary difficult to grow compared to any other mushroom. We have had limited success growing them here in bc, canada and have had others have success in other provinces and in the us. Currently hardiness zone 4 is the best area for planting between now and november the usda hardiness zone 4 comprises some of the coldest and northernmost areas of the continental united states. It stretches in a crescent shape from northern idaho to northern new york and new england, and from the canadian border south into parts of the colorado rockies. That said, these kits can and will work anywhere where morels grow in the wild which is actually most countries around the world. We can't guarantee these the way we do with our other grow kits like oysters, shiitake and lion's mane because there are so many variables and the growing of morels is still in its infancy. We see the difficulty of growing morels as even more of a reason to keep trying, it makes it all the more exciting when you do get them to grow, even if its only a few. They are by far the worlds most sought after mushroom and for good reason. This item is made of morchella importuna mycelium, proprietary substrate mixtrure and water.
