Morel Mushroom Bed Site Prep: New Video!

April 26, 2008

This video is from October 2007 footage. The only tools required for this part of the morel mushroom bed construction are: shovel, edger, and tape measure.

According to the morel mushroom spore kit instructions, there’s enough spores within the kit to cover a 4′ by 4′ area. But locating a good site on your property for the habitat is first. The morel mushroom bed habitat must be:

• Shady
• Well drained soil
• in contact with the ground soil (for the mycelium to ‘root’ and grow)

(The bed must also be protected from hungry morel-eating critters. The protective fencing video comes later.)

Please Note: I mistakenly say in the narrative that the bed should be located in not shady areas. This is wrong.The morel mushroom habitat bed must be in shady conditions, at most part sunny only. I’m new to the video creation thing… My next video, fence construction, will be much better!

In the meantime, if you’ve got a hankering for morel mushrooms right now (you can get fresh morels or dried morels (and any other type of mushroom you like), check out these sellers delectibles:
