Growing Chanterell Mushrooms/Woodchip bed, type of woodchips??

I have my spores/innoculation kit, im just not clear on the type of woodchips to use for my bed, and the instructions that came with the kit does not specify.

Ive looked around on google and seen methods of planting in the ground, near spruce or birch trees as they form specific relationships, and other trees can combat the myceli or whatever..

I have a few buckets of wood chips that you would find on a playground or city park garden. Will these be alright? I havent seen mushrooms growing out of them at the parks so i assume they dont have the myceli (sp?) that would combat the growth, but I dont wanna waste the innoculation on them if its the wrong kind.

hoping someone here as grown them before and has some tips.. I dont have spruce or birch trees to plant near by and the kit specifically says wood chips, just not which kind of wood chips,HELP!

Well, you were robbed. Chanterelles, much like morels are mycorrhizal. Even if you did have the correct symbiotes/companion plants on site, you'd have a snowballs chance of getting them to grow. If you want to grow your own you should start with oysters, from there you can advance to sword belts, lions mane, shiitakes, etc.

I would suggest purchasing stamets growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms, as well as visiting the edibles forum on the shroomery.

I don't understand. Why would I have a snowballs chance? They grow naturally where I live. How can you assume I was robbed without even knowing what I bought? All I asked is what medium I should use for inoculation?

Yes, and morels grow where I live, and you will not ever get consistent results growing them. The vast, vast, majority of time nothing grows. You can't just make a bed like you would with button mushrooms, and expect them to grow, because they wont. They are obligate mycorrhizal, they grow through a relationship with host trees.

Your best bet would to be to actually acquire a seedling, put that seedling into a bucket that has been inoculated with the spores, then planting. Or conversely you may be able to take a seedling, put it in a phophorous depleted medium with the spores or mycelium inoculated within the rhizosphere, as is done with attempted truffle cultivation.

My sister and BIL grew mushrooms spores in oak logs. Drill a 1/2" hole, add spores and seal with wax. They had to be kept under a shed, but they didn't have any problem growing them. Not sure as to kind of mushrooms, but they ate them.

Sporeworks has a morels kit if i recall
