Prepare your morel bed:The site should be made between the summer and fall in a climate where there is an actual change of seasons. Morel mushroom kits don't do well in tropical environments with no real winter or spring.
Choose a shady spot and measure the dimensions. Most kits seem to be enough for a 4-foot by 4-foot square.
Prepare the soil. You want a sandy soil mix with adequate drainage, not too much clay or rock. A sandy soil with some gypsum and peat moss mixed in seems to work well.
Add some ashes from burned wood to your soil. Morels are known to spring up after forest fires, and ashes add nutrients and mimic a post-forest fire habitat.
Plant your spawn:
Each 30 ml bottle of water contains millions of spores. Add the 30 ML bottle of spores to 1 gallon of water then add the spore water into a spray bottle and spray the prepped area. Choose a shady spot. This isn't complicated, and usually just involves spreading it through the top layer.
Mix some hardwood chips on top of the spawn bed. Morels grow near elm, ash, old apple, and tulip trees so use chips from one of these trees (preferably apple, syacmore elm or ash).
Wait:
Although the mycelium is a fast colonizer, it may take a few years before it produces any actual mushrooms. Growing morel mushrooms is not a hobby for the impatient.
That's right, a few years. Don't get discouraged if nothing happens the following spring. Keep the area moist. With some luck and the right conditions, you may someday have morels in your backyard!
You are buying are millions of spores in water that have been extracted from morel mushrooms. It's trial and error and I can't promise that you will be successful.
