it has a whole thing here on the orchard requirements and stuff like that. The shroomery should start a collective of individuals who could contribute time, space, etc and get a truffle empire off the ground.
 I'm up for that!

They even sell trees. Does your land match up to the specs? We could do this- I'd invest in it with ya

Hmmm, I'm not sure that this 10 acres has the right soil for it, but I do have a friend who does have perfect land for it. I'll have to see if he is gonna stay in that house long. If he isn't, than hopefully my current project (futures market) will lead to enough money to just buy the place from him. He is over in New Hampshire right now. I'm in Colorado. If I wanted to do it here, I would probably do it in the forest of Elbert, CO. As a bonus, you can see UFOs every day at dusk in Elbert! 
One way or another, I'll probably do this for fun.

I spoke with the first guy who grew them in the US. He lives a couple hours from me. He said he's had crop failures from the freezing weather the last 3 years. So it's not without risk. He advised against inoculating your own stock. He offered to consult for $100/hr and me signing an NDA

I have a friend that gifted me a bunch of crazy stuff. They had plans of using wood chips. Supposedly at the time the largest truffle was found in wood chips. I never did a fact check on that. Anyway here is a link to my truffle grove.
