I've just seen in a Sutton's catalogue, wooden plugs which have been
impregnated with mushroom spores.
It says to drill holes in freshly cut logs (not pine) and insert the
plugs.
Just so happens that I'm partway through butchering a cherry tree so
have a supply of logs.
The plugs are nearly £12 for 60. I don't mind parting with the £12 if
I get a good crop but may need counselling if I don't.

Any experiences or advice?

Saw something about this recently on television. IIRC, they won't crop for
a couple of years, and the logs need to be dead. After inserting the plugs
into drilled holes, seal with wax. HTH

This is what I saw, but in the catalogue:

It says full cultural instructions supplied. Would be nice to see them
first!
