Morchella semilibera - (Half-free morel)

Morchella semilibera - (Hybrid Spruce, Half-free morel) - an excellent acting mushroom, culinary highly sought after. It can be grown extensively in the garden near trees or shrubs. We partially expose the tree roots and sprinkle with granular seedlings. Cover with a layer of soil. The soil must be fertile and sufficiently supplied with nutrients, ideally clay soils with a pH of 6,8-7,0. We recommend adding wood mass to the soil, e.g. wood chips or straw and put about 1-2cm of compost on top. We secure the soil against drying out, e.g. layer of straw or leaves, or may be and ground cover plants, moss… Fruits usually start to grow the year after planting and may appear in the same place for several years. The fruiting bodies grow in early spring. The size of trees or shrubs does not play a big role, even small tree seedlings with a developed root system are sufficient. Larger trees are also more suitable for shading and maintaining higher soil moisture.

Packaging: 10 ml of liquid mycelium and 1 sterile needle.

Storage: 4-5 months at room temperature, or 10-12 months in the refrigerator
