Is it even possible? Could it be done outdoors? Any logs that document it happening or teks that are proven?

I have searched, and I'm currently reading through a big thread, possibly the one you are talking about. There isn't a lot of info that I could find besides the one thread, and even that is 8 years old. I thought I'd ask to see if there's new info

Yeah so I read through that huge thread. There was zero success in it (they ware focused on growing morels indoors). Does anyone grow morel mushrooms outdoors and could share some info with me on the process? There isn't much on Shroomery about this subject

I'll let you know in the spring. I put some landscape morel into wood mulch last summer. I really don't expect it to work, but mushrooms have surprised me before so.....

Some guys on YouTube are slurrying spores and spreading around. I would think you'd have great success doing this, especially in areas where morels tend to grow.

This may help, It details the 5 required conditions to fruit correctly. Here and here, are some other resources on morels.

So I should use spores or maybe purchased spwn to inoculate sawdust and get a bunch of spawn. And then bury that along with more sawdust in the areas they grow?

It's in stamets' book. Use an inch or two of wood chips, sawdust and ashes. Then spread about 5lb of sawdust spawn over roughly 10x10ft area.

Does that go in the ground or just on top? And the spawn goes on top of the woodchips/sawdust/ashes? And should water be added?
