Thank you for your reply.

I am interested in the following:
What is the difference between T. caligatum and the Japanese Matsutake?
How would I get the Japanese literature?
How would I cultivate T. caligatum?
What conditions and habitat produce optimum growth of T. caligatum?
Where would I find T. caligatum in New Brunswick?

Your reply would be greatly appreciated.
