Growing Porcini Mushrooms From Spores Debunking The Myth

Do you think it's possible to grow Porcini mushrooms from spores or mycelium in your home or your garden?
By pressing buttons on your computer you will see lots of websites , online stores and KZbin videos trying to sell you Porcini spores, Porcini mycelium and also methods on how to grow and cultivate this popular king mushroom successfully. You will be promised to get unbelievable crops, around 250 kg per year, by using their product. So we decided to visit our forest and tried to find Boletus Edulis in order to try grow them. Especially if you know that the price per kilogram can reach up to $200 US, it is much more expensive than other delicacy. How mush money investors could invest in this Porcini farming if it would be possible? If people could grow them like table mushrooms, Agaricus or Shiitake mushrooms.The first reason is that Boletus is an ectomycorrhizal mushrooms.
Boletus edulis is quite different from other macro mushrooms like saprophytes or parasites which feed on the dead organic matter or on living organisms accordingly. But instead Porcini develop symbiotic relationships with trees like oak, pine in deciduous and coniferous forests. the mycelium of that mycorrhizal mushrooms create cage like structures around the tree roots. Providing the tree with fast absorbing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, mushrooms receive in return products of photosynthesis like sugar, carbohydrates, amino acids and phytohormones. #porcini #mushroom #mushrooms #bolete #growingmushrooms #growingmushroomathome #mushroomgrowing #mycelium

You make it sound like removing the fruiting bodies is a bad thing. It's a life cycle, the bodies are meant to be moved in order to distribute spores. Picking mushrooms does not hurt the mycelium organism. Personally when I pick mushrooms I wave them around to propagate spores xD

[@lorenzolopiccolo2603]

Correct. Mushrooms have been collected since recorded history. Picking mushrooms is no different than picking an apple. Apple trees and boletus mycelia still exist. Other than that point video was on point.

[@Theoldindie]

I dont think waving them around does very much. If you pick them for consumption, you pick them young, before they are ready to release they're spores... But that's my theory...I'm a mushroom grower tho, not a picker...

If you actually took the time to read my statement like you do your "books" you would realize I didn't mention KZbin videos because there is nothing wrong with KZbin videos, as a matter of fact Paul Stamets has posted plenty of videos online and if you know anything about mycology you would know he's one of the premier mycologist.

Can I ask do you feel that picking boletus masively causes it to be more rare and less likely to be found? I mean can we run it into disapearing from local forrest due to overpicking? And would it help to leave some? Sorry, and when do spores come off? Is it all of the time or after fruit reaches certain age?

[@downey2294]

doubt it. you're not destroying the mycelium. just picking the fruiting body. like picking an apple basically. but you shouldn't pick more then you have to of course. i think most boletus mushrooms constantly produce spores. even after being picked. as a little science experiment, you could pick a mushroom put it down on a piece of paper and after a few hours you'd have whats called a spore print. these prints can vary in shape and color.

[@reconquistaahead1602]

@@downey2294 unfortunately here i Europe I saw many people gathering mushrooms and putting them in a plastic bag. I always use a basket and tend even to enlarge the holes between the wickers in order to let spread as much more spores as possible. I also gather some of the oldest mushrooms and cut them in pieces spreading them nearby where i found the mushroom. Hope it can help the regrowth but if it takes 10 or 15 years to the mycorrhiza in order to become fruitful, well...i am glad if someone else will profit of the future growth.

[@johnberryman4530]

Mushrooms like porcini (boletus) developed mycelium from decaying oak trees and pine cones. There are not repopulating plant like a sunflower hence why it takes so long to grow and trees take a long time decay. There hundreds of porcinis in the sub layer of the forest remember it is a fungus and one man can’t find them all. And if you left a porcini out in the woods too “spread more” someone else will take it

[@hevenko]

​@@johnberryman4530 hm if growing a fruit takes energy and all of fruit is being picked before spores are released than fruit is being deprived of its purpose. I belive mycelium like any other fungy will eventually use up all resources from its surroundings and therefore relies on spores for finding a new habitat. Spores unlike mycelium can travel relatively long distances and are likely to find suitable soil. In my opinion, systematically picking mushrooms before fruit has had a chance to release spores will eventually kill all mycelium.

[@TruKleenable]

Is there a very close saprophyte alternative? Great video. Saved me a tonne of time.

[@erikjones7612]

Virtually all boletes are mycorrhizal (and those that aren't still tend to have very specific nutritional requirements) so there is no close saprotrophic relative to grow easily. I don't know any mushrooms outside of the boletes that taste/smell like porcini, sadly.

[@TruKleenable]

@@erikjones7612 thank you I thought this would be the case

[@hevenko]

Could you please elaborate why you cut boletus near ground on picking?

[@Classyflowers]

The bottom part of mushrooms stems may have very important identification characteristics, that could be easily missed if cut. For example Harriya chromapes has yellow bottom or Boletus speciosus has red pigmentation at the bottom or Xanthoconium affine has very tapered white bottom.

[@alessandromariani3015]

If i aim the spores with a gun .. do they spread faster?

[@mastertrey4683]

mushroom does not decompose matter nor does it feed nutrients to a trees roots. a mushroom is the fruiting body of mycelium, which is actually what helps the trees to absorb nutrients. It is also the actual organism of the fungus. Taking boletes from the forest is not harmful to trees or to mushrooms. That mushroom is there to spread spores, then get eaten by ants and bugs then rot and get moved back into the soil as more organic matter. Most mushroomers know to pat mushrooms before harvesting or collecting them in a basket to help spread spores. Picking a mushroom does not kill any organisms. and explain me why would mushrooms that you seeded to grow onto the roots of a tree grow 5 houses away from the tree. I'm not saying you can grow porcinis by throwing them into some substrate but what youre doing in this video isn't utter nonsense its actually exactly what happens in nature, which is perfect. Youre throwing essentially what is a giant bucket of spore solution onto a tree so that the spores can be dispersed throughout the soil and form mycorrhizal relationship with the tree. That is how these mushrooms even reproduce in the first place

[@Classyflowers]

Mushroom mycelium can grow and spread to significant distances. Just in 24 hours, the hypha of the mushroom can add about a kilometer in length. Boletus edulis can easily develop rings up to 30 meters in diameter. So mushrooms aren’t bushes or trees, if you plant them near the fence do not expect them to sit and produce fruits right at the same place.

[@Jkirk3279]

Classy Flowers Morel mycelium networks are quite similar, but Stamets discovered that scorching the soil near a host tree induces fruiting. The Mycelium tries to reproduce by spreading spores when it begins to starve in poor soil. That’s the missing piece of the puzzle. Someone also discovered that inoculating a potted sapling, and later killing it, triggers fruiting.

information on porcini goes round and round in circles. the amount of contradiction has me tentatively convinced that nobody is reliably inoculating trees with porcini. most worryingly, some sources insist the target tree must be old, while others insist this can only happen when the tree is very young, before exposure to other mycorrhiza. i think this is a topic where knowledge in scientific literature hasn't really escaped into general knowledge, and proprietary commercial knowledge hasn't escaped into scientific literature. it's quite common for large private organizations to keep their research "in house". i know researchers can grow porcini in culture [eg pachlewska (1968)] but no idea whether that translates into any ability to inoculate trees. imo the starting point is searching for papers that cite the above reference. i'm definitely sick of looking for information outside of scientific literature, but most likely the best option is just giving up and paying for dried porcini. moving to colorado, where apparently they're abundant in pine forests, sounds attractive too

A resounding NO. I will grow these mushrooms one way or another. Nice vid tho

Gloves?

Picking mushrooms isn't bad. Cutting down forests and poluting soil with trash chemicals is bad...I'd say the rain water today is probably chemicaly different from pre industrial revolution rain water too so that has to factor in somewhere. But where I'm from people have picked mushrooms for millennia and there are still plenty left. You make it sound like theyre an endangered species of animal when 100% they will still be around millions of years after were gone.

You gotta grow it on freshly cut wood. Or woodchips I think.

I'm surprised to see you cutting the mushrooms at the stem. Learned many years ago to turn them and remove them in one piece. Have been told, that leaving a cut piece in the ground damages the mycelium. Not an expert, just curios. Thanks for the video, liked it a lot.

[@Classyflowers]

It doesn’t matter.

[@brandon9172]

Think about that critically for one second. What has been eating mushrooms for hundreds of millions of years? Was it human's who could twist the mushroom out of the ground, or animals that'd bite them off and leave a chunk of the stem in the ground? (As if it were cut off)

[@SketchybrainD]

Of course, I do not believe this for a second, because I know it is a hoax.
