Yesterday I tilled some earth under some pine tree. So I could turn the morel habitat spawn into the freshly tilled soil. After that I stared off by adding some kitchen rubbish to feed them. Well, that's all I absolutely need to do to maintain the shroom patch. The shroom patch is in a shaded section of the back garden, and needs organic rubbish added regularely. As rubbish is what shroom eat. Now that that Maryland should provide plenty of precipitation, I will not need to add much water. Although, one should be sure that the shroom patch stays moist. As a closing note, I shouldn't have much else interesting to tell about this patch until the next morel spring. I'm not exactly when the morel spring starts in this laditude and hemisphere, but I should have a few months before the next step should start. As the included directions explained, around the morel spring the shroom grower needs to see that shroom food( rubbish) is not entering the patch. The reduction of nutrients during morel spring causes a signal to the mushrooms main body( mycelium) to produce morel mushrooms. They start their way out of the ground looking like tiny rhynosorus tusks. Then grow through out a few days to a week to there full grown morel shroom body. I'm going to hope that it really will survive the winter. Perhaps I'll need to cover the ground there with something. As I gave-up earlier, I'll give my results during morel spring, and any observations in the meantime.
