Chanterelle Clone

Hi everyone,
I've got a jar of small chanterelles in a light brine (water, salt). I'm wondering if it would be possible to clone some inside tissue.. But thinking the fact that they're brined could cause problems.
Anyone tried this?

Clone it for what reason? You would not be able to grow them as they are mycorrhizal.

I doubt the mushrooms are still alive after being brined and possibly pressure cooked for preservation. It's possible there are spores you could gather...
There's probably a better way, like finding them fresh and going from there.
Why culture chanterelle mycelium? Even tho they are mycorrhizal it's still possible to grow and expand the mycelium. You can increase chances of them growing in your area by spreading the mycelium around.

Interesting. If they already grow sparsely in an area can you increase the amount they fruit?
Also the same could probably be done with edulis id imagine?

I don't think you'll increase the output. Only have a chance at establishing patches where they didn't exist before.
Same can be done for any mycorrhizal mushroom as far as I know.
Alternatively and probably more likely to succeed, You can inoculate tree seedlings and once their bond with the mushroom is secure, plant them out and might get mushrooms in the near to distant future.

Well you can illicit a mycorrhizal relationship by inoculating tree sapling roots with a culture, which is something I've been interested in for a while.

Not sure if they've been pressure cooked as they're still healthy looking & not mushy, but yeah. Maybe I'll give it a shot anyway just for hoots.
Fresh would be best & I'd love to find some but haven't had any luck.. Mushrooms aren't that popular here & it'd be very unlikely to find fresh ones in a store.
edit: sleepydave got there first & rightly so as I believe he told me this piece of information originally!

Awesome that would be great. I have one spot that edulis grow near some youngish pines on my property.
