INDOOR GROWTH PARAMETERS<br />

The Morels:<br />

*<br />

Land-Fish Mushrooms<br />

of the Genus Morchella<br />

embody the mystique of mushrooms. They are elusive,<br />

highly camouflaged, and appear for just a few days in any<br />

one place. Finding Morels in the wild tests the skills of even the most<br />

experienced mushroom hunter. Once found, Morel patches are<br />

guarded by secrecy and treasured like family heirlooms. Revealing<br />

the location of a Morel patch is an admirable expression of friendship<br />

and trust. . . and, <strong>it</strong> may be the most foolish thing any Morel<br />

hunter can do!<br />

In northern lat<strong>it</strong>udes, from April to June, Morels grow in several<br />

specialized hab<strong>it</strong>ats. They thrive in abandoned apple orchards; at the<br />

bases of dying and dead elms; around living cottonwoods, oaks and<br />

poplars; in sandy gravel soils along rivers and streams; in "beauty<br />

bark" used for landscaping; at the bases of young firs; in the tracks<br />

left by bulldozers punching new roads through forests; in limed soils,<br />

and in the wastelands left by fires.<br />

* "Land Fish" is a Native American name, possibly Mohawk, aptly given to Morels.<br />
