Hi

Does anyone have a good cheap source for mushrooms logs?
Those logs you put out in your garden that have spore for Shit-take
mushrooms or oyster mushrooms?



I got mine by asking the local council where they were lopping. Turned up
and scrounged some logs. Cost nothing.


You may have the wrong type of log to give the best conditions for the
mushrooms.


Just as well, cos the Shitake plugs produced masses of mycelia (?) but so
far no mushrooms. The oysters produced zilch. Diddly squat.



I know you can buy the logs ready spawned from some places.
Anyone out there have any?


Yep got mine from Future Foods.. (I think) logs not produced yet but
bog roll kits are doing OK.. Need to pick first crop and eat em!-)
