I know it's bad to get wild collected Cyps but I did buy a few that were collected from private land that needed to be dug due to construction. They didn't look to have very many broken roots and were sent with a big chunk of soil and wild grass still attacted. There were even quite a few little Cyp seedlings. This got me thinking. Since I have the soil and the seedling are growing in it, obviously I also still have a culture of the fungus in the soil that's needed for the seeds to germinate and grow the first couple years. I always grow Cyps in a soiless mix but I got a little brave with a couple and planted them in my native soil in hopes that the fungus can spread and I can grow a self sustaining population. BTW, there is a native popualtion of candidum in a lime fen only a couple miles from my house. These ones I got are either reg parviflorum or possibly the var pubescens from ND. Since I have a nice amount of the soil, do you think this will work?
