This is true.  However, the way I understand it, Terry farms has 
bought into the technology of Neogen/Morel Mountain (the holders of the 
morel patents), which is (apparently) not the same as the methods 
stated in the patents. They *are* able to grow and fruit morels indoors, but 
their methods remain proprietary.
