Morel (guchhi) cultivation trial from Jammu & Kashmir.
After collecting 1000+ samples from different regions and continuous lab research along with indoor and outdoor trials, we narrowed down to 90 isolates.
Out of these, 10 isolates have shown promising results with successful fruiting.
This work is still ongoing, with further optimization in progress.
