Found a bunch of morels and were trying to figure out how they drop their spores

Quote:

The mushrooms in the Ascomycetes have spores that are produced in specialized holding cells called "asci." An ascus (singular of "asci") usually holds eight spores, as in the illustration, but the number may vary greatly. The spores are ejected through the end of the ascus, where an opening develops. A mushroom belonging to the Ascomycetes has a fertile surface that is covered with asci--in the morels, for example, this surface is the pitted surface of the cap.

Their spores develop on the brainlike structures on the outside where they turn dark when they mature.

I was looking for that one high speed camera shot of a spore being ejected.  Can't seem to find it.

If you pick morels and wash them in a bowl of water, would some of the spores be released into the water? Would dumping that water in a suitable habitat possibly spread them?

Millions.

Of course, but not guaranteed. If you cultivate mycelium and then put that in a suitable habitat your chances will increase.

No problem, Twiz.  I would have liked it better with music by Shpongle though.

GK,  I'm trying Danny's method this year.  I just checked one of my Black inoculations today.  Thumbs down.  Danny's Blacks took two years though.  I also inoculated patches with Grays and crassipes.  We'll see.
