| Mushrooms are simply the fruit of a large underground mycelium. Transplanting them would be like thinking of transplanting an apple tree by planting an apple. Gathering mushrooms and scattering them over a suitable area might yield similar mushrooms in 12 to 24 months. The spores from the mushrooms might take hold and start a new mycelium. It will take one, two or more years for the mycelium to grow large enough to fruit. Bear in mind that mushrooms are often very particular about where they grow; for best results you should identify the mushrooms you want to grow then research the conditions that it likes. There are commercial companies that sell mushroom spawn which is material that has mycelium already growing. You can then dig this into the areas where you want mushrooms. I have tried the indoor kits from fungi perfecti and they did well. They also have outdoor kits: http://www.fungi.com/kits/outdoor.html Below is a link to a Canadian company. |
