Planting mycorrhizal trees to collect mushrooms

Mycorrhizal trees are one of the latest trends in mushroom cultivation. The great majority of edible species are mycorrhizal, they are associated with the roots of certain trees and besides helping them to grow better, they nourish themselves and flourish around them. Mushroom species such as the appreciated truffles, boletus, chanterelles, or even wild thistle mushrooms and perrechicos, are some of those that you can sow in wild lands next to their trees or bushes and thus be able to harvest them after a few years. In our section of mycorrhizal trees you will find pines of different varieties mycorrhizal with different strains of chanterelles, holm oaks and oaks mycorrhizal with truffles, even wild thistle plants mycorrhizal with pleorotus eryngii.
