Hi Gay, I was browsing about mushrooms in the philippines when I got into ur article. Since I was little, I’ve always been amazed how that species of mushrooms you have shown above sprout out. When I was in Mindoro, I’d look forward to months of July thru September knowing this mushrooms grow on these months. I asked my college prof, tho she’s not a mycologist, about how to cultivate these mushrooms, if anyone cultivates it (tho I’m no one coz I haven’t seen this kind in any market in Manila) and if spawns can b bought) but she didn’t know. What kind of mushrooms are they? And why are they difficult to cultivate? I was thinking of studying how to cultivate this kind of mushroom. Thanks and more power.

It’s true. But it applies to all mushrooms. The natural phenomenon thunder do help in helping mushrooms grow abundantly. It is naturally because thunder help unlocks the unusable form of air nitrogen. Utilizable nitrogen is necessary for a mushroom’s growth that’s why I’m happy when there’s thunder. My harvest increases during thunder storms.
