@boostedorganics That's interesting about non nutritious soil. Mine is a 5.7-5.8 and I have some old tulip poplars, old apple trees and sycamore but I seem to just get ink caps in that area. I wonder if I need to bring the pH closer to 7 or if the ink cap mycelium is too dominant.
Yeah I bring the PH up closer to neutral with lime powder. Morels desire the non nutritious soil to fruit from because they get all their nutrients and immune system from the tree host. They will not fruit in nutritious soil and that’s why.
@boostedorganics Thanks man I appreciate the tip. I'm interested to see how your morel cuktivation goes. I'd love to do that small scale just to have another type of edible mushroom on the property.
Yeah no problem! I constantly have different experiments going on all the time. I’ll try to do more content around it. Let me know how your experiments go.
Definitely got a follow from me!
Good luck
Is there a pH you'd recommend for the soil in order to both cultivate morels and possibly grow more of what naturally fruits on a property?
Neutral to slightly acidic is what I use. They desire non nutritious soil.
