Morels throughout my veggy garden. What to do? [View all]

It's a 20x20 hobby garden, not commercial, but I love fresh veggies. A few yrs ago I found a morel during spring prep. We slurried it and spread it several places on our property but haven't seen any more since.

Until this year.

There are hundreds, all over the garden beds and paths except where we recently dumped chicken litter or just dug in compost.

What to do? I'm thinking of planting spuds in those beds, but not stirring up the soil on the most morely bed by planting peas or greens or such and cutting the stems from the roots when they die to not disturb the mycelium. However, typically every spring I mix the top of all the beds, including the ones that grew morels.

I am stumped, don't know enough about mushroom growing. Thoughts? Advice?
