Keep Your Morels Moist!

May 8, 2008

If you’re attempting to grow a morel mushroom habitat from a spore kit like I am, read and follow the directions. We’ve not had rain in a number of days here in the Puget Sound area, and my morel bed was looking a little dry, so I dowsed it today by hand using a sprinkler.

By the way, did anyone catch the morel mushroom episode on “Cash & Treasures” show on Discover Network channel? The 30 minute show followed the host being led through the forests of Michigan, hunting for wild morels. Apparently, they can fetch upwards of $80 a pound…? On eBay, the going rate currently is about $20 to $30 a pound.
