Pinning is the trickiest part for a mushroom grower, since a combination of carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration, temperature, light, and humidity triggers mushrooms towards fruiting. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 12 ] Up until the point when rhizomorphs or mushroom "pins" appear, the mycelium is an amorphous mass spread throughout the growth substrate ...

The stipe is white, 5–20 cm (2–8 in) high [30] by 1–2 cm (1 ⁄ 2 –1 in) wide, and has the slightly brittle, fibrous texture typical of many large mushrooms. At the base is a bulb that bears universal veil remnants in the form of two to four distinct rings or ruffs.
Tricholoma murrillianum is a species of mushroom-forming fungus found in North America also known as the ponderosa mushroom, pine mushroom, and Western matsutake. It produces a choice edible mushroom but can be confused with the poisonous Amanita smithiana .
Fruiting bodies have a short stalk from which arises a spore-bearing structure (the receptaculum) of 5–8 arched arms. These arms, initially joined at the top, disconnect and curve irregularly to expose the inner surface of each arm, which is covered with green spore-containing gleba. Spores are 3–4 × 1–1.5 μm.

The termites eat spherules [note 1] and old combs. [12] The fungus forms mushrooms for spreading spores. For most species, the fungus grows long pseudorhizas to the surface of the ground, where mushrooms are formed. [13] For T. microcarpus, the mushrooms grow from fragments of fungus garden that are carried outside the nest by worker termites. [14]
The remains of the partial veil are seen as a skirtlike, floppy annulus usually about 1 to 1.5 cm (3 ⁄ 8 to 5 ⁄ 8 in) below the cap. The crowded white lamellae (gills) are free. The stipe is white with a scattering of grayish-olive scales and is 8 to 15 cm ( 3 + 1 ⁄ 8 to 5 + 7 ⁄ 8 in) long and 1 to 2 cm ( 3 ⁄ 8 to 3 ⁄ 4 in) thick ...
