Well, if that's the case, then maybe some pointers I've picked up while growing some terrestrial orchids might help out...
If possible try and collect either during dormancy or during the very beginning of the growth cycle.
Obviously, also get some of the soil it was growing with.
Keep in mind the depth at which the orchids were growing.
A larger pot with several individuals may work better than an individual orchid in one pot.
When repotting, don't throw out all of the soil, retain half of the old soil.
Feed mycorrhizae with wood chips, preferably from the same kind of conifer trees that are growing around the area. Like I said, I've read reports of these growing under citrus trees as well. If conifer wood are not an option, citrus wood may work just as well.
