Mycorrhizal Edibles
    #8586849 - 07/02/08 06:13 AM (15 years, 6 months ago)

Hi!  Im curious about techniques for growing wild mushrooms of the mycorrhizal variety--morels, chanterelles, porcini, truffles, etc.

Has anyone tried inoculating the roots of an air layered cutting with the spores or mycellium of one of these mushrooms?  Doing so would make it quite easy to propagate new plants with this association.

Air layering is a technique in which a thin tree branch is stripped of a section of bark, treated with rooting hormone (although this is unnecessary and probably a bad idea, since most rooting hormones are fungicidal), and then wrapped in a plastic bag filled with a sterile rooting substrate.  Most often this is live sphagnum moss which is great for retaining moisture and fighting off infections, but would probably also kill off fungal spores.  Something else (peat moss, vermiculite) could be used.  Ive been practicing this on my bay laurel, and while the process takes a full season generally, Im having some success.

Anyone tried anything like this?
