Hypsizygus ulmarius, sometimes called the elm oyster or box elder

Hello everyone,
During my younger years in Midwest U.S.A., I used to go hunting for a mushroom we called the box elder mushroom. As far as we knew, it would only grow on box elder trees which were easily recognizable. They were a delicious edible treat. I now know they are called Hypsizygus Ulmarius. Since, as far as I know, they only grow from this tree, if I wanted to grow them, would I be able to do this tek? https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/7478182.
Or would It have to use that specific tree? The only other way I could think of is to find a downed log of this box elder and I guess drill holes in it and inoculate from there. Description:
Ecology: Saprobic; growing alone or in pairs (sometimes in clusters of three), usually growing from branch scar sites of living hardwoods, particularly elm or box elder; widespread at least though the eastern United States (Arora reports it from California); August to December.
Cap: 5-15 cm; convex with a slightly inrolled margin at first, becoming almost flat, with a slightly sunken center; white, turning to creamy buff or tan; cracking and forming small scales or patches. Gills: Attached to the stem and not running down it; close or nearly distant; whitish, becoming cream. Stem: 5-10 cm long, 1-2.5 cm thick; dry; smooth to hairy; whitish; solid; stout; off-center to nearly central; sometimes enlarged at base. Flesh: Firm; white. Taste: Mild; odor not distinctive. Spore Print: White to buff. Microscopic Features: Spores 5-6 µ; smooth; round or nearly so; inamyloid.

That might be a little more suited for your needs, assuming this mushroom does not have mind-altering properties. I'm sure somebody here knows something either way though.

No, no mind altering abilities. Thank you very much, I'll read a few more days through all these.
