it is important to first identify them. part of the identification process is to know if they were growing on wood, or soil, or poop...next under what type of a tree, type of dirt for example wood debris or sand etc. were they near water or in the forest or desert? etc etc etc

take a mushroom spore print and go through the mushroom field guides

some mushrooms transplant easily like oyster mushrooms and many "special" mushrooms -- primary wood decomposers -- transplant well also.

get a good book on mushrooms, like david arora's book http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Arora or paul stamets' books http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Stamets
 
lol, go guy glucose, alcohol, 3% peroxide, get presure cooker and look up how to clone a mushroom... you need to act fast though
I have seen a few clips on the topic on youtube even.

yup. there is also a method of rolling up the mushroom butts into wet cardboard to get the mycelia running. the mycelia like the wood pulp & wood glues of cardboard. i've had good success running with 1 week old mycelia after picking, but like ANC says time is a factor.

read Mycelia Running by paul stamets to see the correct method.
 
Yeah, I don't think you can "transplant" a mushroom once it's been picked.... but you can use the spores to grow more, or like someone else said you can use a tissue sample to grow more, too.
 
I actually just got back from a hunt myself and found that many of the mushrooms I found are too juvenile to give me a solid colored spore print. Any idea if its possible to replant them? Maybe roll out some of the spores as stated above
