Look at all these oyster mushrooms I grew! I can’t believe the abundance. This will be an entire years supply off one fruiting! Amazing!

Good morning!

Gm stay sovereign, did you inoculate the logs?

Yes we did, lotta work but worth it

That’s awesome congratulations

I am soooo envious of your gorgeous farm sink BTW.

Gotta have the big sink for all this big food

So beautiful, but wouldn’t you have that eaten in 7 days if you sat down to it?

We’re dehydrating them they’ll store for months

I am jelly! Although I did get my 1st 2 inoculated logs just a few weeks ago so while I am jelly I am also on my way to the same desirable outcome (hopefully!)

Sometimes it can take up to 18 months so be patient. Don’t skip the colonization step! If you place them on the ground before they colonize you won’t get nearly the harvest

Colonization?

The inoculated variety of mushroom has to take over the log. If you leave the log directly on the ground wild mushrooms will out compete them

Place the log just a few inches off the ground for about 6 months then you can move the logs to their permanent location

I think that I am doing that already, just didn’t know it was a named step. I was told to overwinter them in my garage, so that’s where they are right now.

I’d keep ‘em somewhere they get dew and rain on them they’ll dry out

Yep, am supposed to keep them moist.

Do you have to do anything specific to grow the mushrooms or just leave the logs and then nature does it magic?

It’s a whole process I did a video on it

Thanks, I’ll check it out.
