MyMorels.com Morel Mushroom Habitats Spring 08 Update Video

May 5, 2008

This video is from footage shot late April, 2008. This shows the current condition of the two morel mushroom bed habitats.

Note that I installed (low gauge) chicken wire on top of the more susbtantial fence walls of the first morel bed - this was done to prevent crap from falling in to the morel bed. Since the transient neighborhood house has a commanding view of the bed and also since they are young and partake of the spirits now and again and behave erratically at times, to assuage my paranoia I covered them to prevent thrown deleterious material from entering my bed. Am I now a grumpy old man?

The morel bed was established using spore kits from two different suppliers (and are of two different species of morchella). The habitat has only been in existence since October of last year, so there won’t be a plethora of morel mushrooms - I’m told that this first spring season may come and go with nary one delectible morel sprout. In the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, que será será.
