Hi
Had to cut down a Rowan and Sycamore tree.

Long story cut down conifers 70 ft high and these where growing in side
very spindly and leaning over, to top that the squirells striped off
loads of bark and killed the top 20 feet off.
But I have plenty of logs I thought about growing Lions mane & Shiitaki
mushrooms from plugs, am I wasting my time or is it worth having a go

Growing these deliberately seems to require a lot of attention to detail
- something I'm not good at, so my only attempt met with failure.
However, our wood pile (mainly rowan) gave a huge crop of oyster
mushrooms this year - don't know whether it was already infected or
whether it became infected after felling.
