How do I use the kit?

Soak the sawdust spawn in about 5 gallons of filtered or rain water for 24 hours, then pour the water where you want morels to grow. Pick a shaded spot with undisturbed soil.

When will I get mushrooms?

Morels usually fruit in spring, and often not in the first season after inoculation. Expect to wait a year or more, and results are never guaranteed.

Where should I pour it?

Shaded beds, around trees, or mulch areas with moist, uncompacted soil work best. Avoid full sun and spots that dry out or flood.

Can I start it in winter?

Yes, as long as the ground is not frozen. The spawn can be applied any time of year.

Is this the same as morel plug spawn?

No. This is spore-inoculated sawdust, which is simpler but generally less reliable than cultured plug or grain spawn.

How much spawn is in the kit?

About 30 to 40 grams of inoculated sawdust, enough to treat a small patch.

Our take on the TRUE morel mushroom grow kit grow morel mushrooms at home and garden

This is a sawdust spawn kit carrying fresh morel spores, meant to be soaked in water and poured where you want morels to fruit. It is a start-your-own-patch product rather than a guaranteed harvest: morels fruit unpredictably and often take a season or more to appear. It suits gardeners and foragers who want to try a backyard patch and accept the gamble. Against plug-spawn and liquid-culture kits it is simple to use but offers no control over timing or yield.
