Shroom farm started

Figured this was as good as any place to post. My pops got to talking about growing mushrooms from spore plugs. Why not I figure. I ran out to a spot locally where folks are putting in a house. Plenty of fresh downed cottonwood which you typically can't give away fast enough. Cut 12 or 13 lengths and brought them home. So far I've only gotten one log done. Drill it, tap in dowel, wax over. Easy peasy. This first log has 50 plugs of pink oyster. I'll work on three other logs next weeken. Got 50 more pinks then 100 *censored*ake plugs. Pic of first log to follow.

No thanks buddy! Supposedly, my logs are all I need. Let the spores do their thing and take over the log then grow on their own. No poo scooping needed.

Nice. You may try using a 2 inch paint brush for applying wax. That’s how Paul Stamets and his crew do it, wax goes a little further that way.

Sounds like fun, I would like to try it. I have a friend in North Carolina that does this. He grows quite a variety.

Looks more like 1 inch, my bad. If you haven’t looked into Paul stamets’ books and site fungi.com you’re missing out. The dude is the mushroom whisperer.

They dip one end in wax to stack them like in photo. It prevents other fungi species from contaminating your logs as they will if you leave it in direct contact with the dirt.

Do a google search for mushroom plug and lots of places pop up.
