Just got my old worm bin set up again. Feeding them spent mushroom substrate from a local mushroom farmer that brings all their spent blocks to our farm. It's great worm food!

Looks good. Just added worms to our hotel yesterday for the first time.
What kind of mushrooms do you grow? I grew some Oyster mushrooms once. I used a kit from Target.
I've only grown from kits as well. When they were finished we took them out into an area of our property that grows wild parasols.
The Lion's mane is growing a bit again out there.
My main bedding for the worms is horse poop. Actually pulled the worms for the hotel from the poop piles yesterday.
I have a mushroom farm nearby and can get their spent logs my the truckload. I was wondering how well worms would do with it.
What has been your experience?
never had spent logs, these guys grow in bags of loose substrate so it crumbles easily
I was thinking that if you took some old logs. Scratched them up a bit with a chainsaw and buried them halfway with fresh mushroom compost.
Then kept it in a moist, shady area. Residual mycelium may colonize your logs and fruit eventually.
It would be easy to try, the hardest part would be keeping them at the right moisture level without automation.
