*The spawn run is the period when the mushroom mycelium, or roots basically, grow thoughout the logs (colonize). Mushroom fruiting will follow once the spawn run is complete and the logs are fully colonized.

Thank you for this simple yet informative video.
I loved hearing music instead of hearing someone talking.
Am inspired now and want to try this.
Any tips on temperature, time of year that works best, and what other kinds of trees could be used?
there are a lot of oak and maple tress here in NC.
Thanks again 🌷

Glad to hear it.
Where you are, fall would be best to cut and plant. You can cut your wood any time in the fall after the leaves change. Wait at least 2 weeks before planting to allow the natural anti-fungal compounds in the wood to die. For oyster mushrooms you can also use willow, cottonwood, mulberry, hackberry, tulip and yellow poplar and maple to a lesser extent. Oak is the prime species for shiitake cultivation. Shiitake is translated mushroom of the oak. Here's a site with a ton of helpful info: www.fieldforest.net/category/growing-outdoors
Have fun and all the best!

Can pleurotus eryngii grow like that?

Helpful hint:
Put the tape measure away and use your chainsaw to measure with. It's a lot faster and easier.
Other than that, very intresting

How many flushes can you get from this method?

[@farthestforest4286]

You could see a couple flushes a year for several years.

@@farthestforest4286 okay, one more thing, can I water my logs since I’ve inoculated them a month ago? These are newly cut water oak and the plug spawn im growing is Blue Oyster Mushrooms

[@farthestforest4286]

@@WanNotJuan Yes, the logs should receive 1 inch of rain per week. If they don't, then they should be watered.
