To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

My mushroom hunting buddy tried to inoculate cotton wood and the wouldn't take. He said cottonwood has antifungal properties....

Very cool project.  Do you keep them in the shade?  Underneath other living trees?

Alder wood is the best wood for this from what I've heard... I was looking into buying some pre inoculated logs last year and learned a lot about it. Pretty cool stuff! I like those long skinny tiny headed shrooms. Forget the name of them now...

Where do you buy the spores??
You can also get from gmushroom and ebay.  I've got morel spores off ebay.  I'm going to put mushroom boxes by apple trees after muzzy elk.

Regarding types of woods as I understand it......cottonwood is good, so is alder. Main thing is to not innoculate until at least 2, if not 3 weeks after cutting. Fresh cut still has the natural chemicals that fight off fungas. After a few weeks those break down and the wood is ripe for fungal takeover.

Behind my house is a marshy greenbelt. I have my logs tucked into a shaded cool spot between growing trees and some stumps and brush.

How long will it take until they actually produce? Are certain times of the year better then others to plug logs?

Lions Mane is the mushroom I was talking about! It's a huge brain booster!

I think 6 months for our climate.  In other regions I think timing isore important.  We are pretty mild here.

The fungi website pretty much tells you everything you need to know about it for each species and has great kits. I'm gonna try to do some in Willow wood even though they don't recommend it. But I have tons of willows that fall every year and could make them useful by doing this. Funny I forgot I wanted to do this until you posted this thread! Lol

Ldennis24 are you talking about Enoki mushrooms? Pretty good and versatile with asian cuisine.

I did this with 4 smaller white oak logs. Oyster mushrooms and *censored*ake. Did it about a year ago. Still waiting....might take 3 to 5 years as I understand it. I'm hoping to see some activity soon just to confirm that it's working. Good luck dude!

Yep! It looks like my other post didn't get on here so it sounded confusing when I mentioned Lions Mane but I tried reposting and said that another one I really enjoy was enoki and that there was one that can supposedly rebuild your brain cell activity and give you sharper concentration and that was the Lions Mane. I really want to get some and try it...
