Cultivating Golden Morel mushrooms presents unique
challenges, as this species requires a complex substrate mix, including
sand, compost, leaf litter, hardwood sawdust, ash, and lime. Unlike
other mushrooms, Morels require a symbiotic relationship with nearby
grass or plants to thrive, and they do not grow well in autoclavable
substrate bags. This makes them more challenging to cultivate, suited
for advanced growers who are ready to tackle the intricacies of their
growth requirements.
Golden Morel mushrooms require cold temperatures for
fruiting, with an incubation temperature of 70°F - 80°F over 12-14 days,
followed by fruiting at 55°F - 65°F with humidity levels of 85% - 93%.
The pinning time ranges from 4-10 days, with a total fruiting time of
14-18 days. Their need for a complex substrate and symbiotic growth
environment makes them a rewarding challenge for experienced mycologists
seeking to cultivate these prized mushrooms.
