Its artificial domestication and cultivation has been domestic and foreign mycologists are committed to research and exploration of one of the topics.
Morel mushrooms are different from the common tambourine mushrooms, it is a fungus in the ascomycetes, the growth and development of the environment required by the more special, so the realization of artificial cultivation has a certain degree of difficulty, at present the highest level of domestic and international is limited to the "semi-artificial cultivation", that is, artificially cultivated nutritious mycelium, and must be returned to the wild environment of morel mushrooms or imitation of the mushroom. After that, it must return to or imitate the wild environment of morel mushrooms to produce mushrooms. This cultivation method does not break through the limitations of the natural environment, and the mushroom production is uncertain and low. "Rarity is precious".
