Landscape Morel
Morchella importuna
We have been working with Morel cultivation for years, and although some trials are successful, they have not been to abundant reproducibility. We pass the cultivation baton to you, along with our best to-date instructions. While we do not warrant this spawn to produce mushrooms, we feel the Landscape Morel to be the most promising species for cultivation at this point.
This is the Morel that is found growing in recently mulched landscape plantings and appears to not form associations with trees that the Yellow Morel does. We recommend incorporating spawn into wood chip mulch and keeping the area moist to establish. Note: This is one of the Morels being successfully field cultivated in China and elsewhere. Plant in fall or spring.
