| I had thought about this. My idea was to create a bottom layer of grain or pf sub in a jar. Then do another layer of rich soil or compost. Sterilize, cool and inoculate in a manner where the spores definitely reach the bottom. Then drop a seed in that has been h202 washed. Germinate and allow to grow. When the substrate is fully colonized it would be removed to a fruiting chamber. Perhaps an airport could be used until birthing for gas exchange? May not be necessary, though, because the mycelium and plant will create each other's gasses.
From there these these plants could be transplanted or an indoor attempt could be made. I've wondered if myco species need more than just a plant to fruit. I mean, woodlovers 'need' other organisms so perhaps myco species do too.
I don't know if this would work with Am but morels have been known to form a relationship with bamboo. Imagine creating a sturdy plant/myco relationship and then planting it. Then the bamboo plant would start running everywhere. A fargesia variety that was started by seed could be a clump that is 8 feet in diameter in only 3 or 4 years. Fargesia is a clumper. Others will keep running forever! THATS what I would call expansion!
But workman has a better idea.
