    Many species cannot be cultivated. For example chanterelles, truffles, and boletes are symbiotic with tree roots of specific species of trees.

    Morels should be able to be cultivated, but if anybody has cracked the code it’s kept secret to keep prices high.

    But yeah oyster mushrooms, and a few other wood decay fungi are pretty easy to grow.
