oh man i’ve been spreading spores in my woods trying to get these going with no luck
Most mushrooms are mycorrhizal, which means they are symbiotes to certain trees. You need those trees or you won't get mushrooms.
oh i know. we lost most of the elms in the northeast, but they are still around. apple and ash are supposed to be fair host species
I haven't heard of anyone growing mushrooms from sprinkling spores. You'd have more luck transplanting some of the mycelium.
There is an oak along our road that the county cut off the top because it grew into power lines. I'm thinking of gathering the logs and use them for mushrooms. Does that make sense? I saw them for sale online for mushrooms.
These guys surprised me, I wasn't even out looking for them.
