Mushroom Log Inoculation

I inoculated 8 fresh cut logs with Shitake and Lion's Mane mushroom spores and show the process here. The dowels were ordered from Norhspore and 2funguys.com. I store them under some bushes, slightly elevated off of the ground and if it is a dry and hot week I sprinkle them with water once or twice. I am expecting my first harvest next spring if not late this fall. Some of the wax has fallen off, and I didn't wax the cut ends of the logs. This is supposed to prevent infection from other competing fungal species but I think I'll be okay. Time will tell!

Nice! I hope you get some good production. I'm a fan of the lion's mane. I was doing that for a while, but opted for different methods... then got lazy and haven't done it in a couple years.

I hope so too! I'm excited especially about the Lion's Mane. Thanks for your comment.

Hi! Are your related to Bernie? If so, I knew him through a good friend of his Peter who is my son's grandfather-in-law.
