 Laetiporus cincinnatus cultivation

Hello all,
I just found 5 Laetiporus cincinnatus and have fell in love with them! By far my new all time favorite! I love them so much I want to have many more of them. These were not found on my property, but I have 65 acres of hardwoods and should be able to a suitable host very easily. Is there a way to grow these? I have no knowledge of how to grow any kind of mushroom, but I was hoping I could harvest some parts of host and start them from there? Any help doing this would be very much appreciated!

I sure haven't done it but the basic technique is the same:
Take a tissue sample to agar, grow out a clean clone culture, make grain spawn, then inoculate a suitable substrate.
It's covered in depth in The Mushroom Cultivator.
If they grow in the area you probably can get them to grow.
Woodlovers often are propagated through dowel spawn.

Thanks! I was hoping for a simpler solution, but I'll try anything to get more of these!!! Could I cut plugs from the present host roots and bring them home and plug my logs?

That might possibly work.
But to have any measurable chance of success you'll want to use the standard method.
It's the standard because it works, y'know?

You might get a stem butt to take on cardboard and then go from there.
I haven't done it but if you search on 'cardboard tek' you'll find it I'm sure.

OP, Take a spore print on tin foil and save it for later.
Edit/ I wouldn't even know how to take a spore print off chicken of the woods. I was imagining a gilled mushroom.
