They were environmentally motivated. Same here. ;-) I talked to one of them about growing the Oysters and gave him a bag of fresh mushrooms from Central Market in trade for the stuff, so _he_ kept a bag of shavings back so he can play with it as well! Gotta love it. Be sure to report your results! I want to "seed" some dead oak stumps with spawn once I can get it going again. Gills from a specimen too weathered to collect work just fine. -- ..sigzip* |

I use the tissue from just the stems and bases. :-) Would I need to use Gills to "seed" logs? I thought I could use spawn/mycelia?
