Vineyard & Orchard Morels |
|||
I had been searching
for many years as to what name would belong to these three varieties of
morels (there may be more) found growing in the grape rows of California
vineyards. Commercial buyers & picker say they are just morels. The old
vine wood is harvested, dragged through spore & mycelia and then mulched
for sale in gardening purposes; voila you get landscape morels. Grape
morel seems obvious but there are some that grow in nearby orchards, in
fact I have photographed morels growing in orchards as far north as Omak
Washington. Then I wondered if the morel spore or mycelia might have
transferred from whence the cuttings originated; Greece perchance or
Italy where they may already have published names… |
