Planting method for morels

Abstract

A planting method for morels is disclosed, including the following steps of: (1) preparing spawn; (2) flipping the spawn; (3) managing the humidity; and (4) fruiting for harvesting. The planting method is simple, is easy to learn and promote, has a high yield, and requires few spawn, thereby reducing planting costs and product costs.
