Are some mushrooms impossible to grow? Here's why not all mushrooms can be cultivated

Why can't all mushrooms be cultivated? Why are some at the grocery store, and some need to be wild harvested?

Mushrooms can be broken down into three broad catagories:

1. Saprophytic Fungi
2. Parasitic Fungi
3. Mycorrhizal Fungi

Saprophytic fungi are mushrooms that grow on dead or dying matter. They thrive on substrates like hardwood, straw, or mulch. These natural conditions are easy to copy, which is why saprophytic mushrooms like Shiitake, Oysters and Enoki are easily cultivated.

Parasitic fungi are mushrooms like Cordyceps (which grow on bugs) and Honey Mushrooms (which attack living trees). These are harder to cultivate then saprophytic fungi.

The third group, mycorrhizal fungi, are mushrooms that form symbiotic relationships with other plants. These relationships can be complesx, and hard to duplicate artificially.

Unfortunately, some of the tastiest mushrooms in the world are mycorrhizal, and thus, very difficult if not impossible to cultivate.
