CULTIVATION OF MORCHELLA ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention pertains to culturing ascoscarps or fruitbodies of species of the genus Morchella. Mycelia are provided nutrients and subsequently produce nutrient-rich mycelia and attendant sclerotia. The mycelia and attendant sclerotia store sufficient nutrient to supply the ascocarps that are developed later. The mycelia and attendant sclerotia are established in a nutrient poor substratum. Mycelia and attendant sclerotia are induced to give rise to ascocarp development by initially maintaining the mycelial growth and attendant sclerotia in an environment that is poor in exogenous nutrients and by exposing the mycelia and attendant sclerotia to a high level of water. After induction, primordia appear. The period from primordia appearance until midway to maturation of the fruitbodies represents a critical period during which the fruitbodies are prone to abort. During this critical period, particular attention is directed to maintaining favorable conditions. The fruitbodies, which may be grown to maturation, are harvested.
