Okay. I just plugged some with pearl oyster mushrooms a couple weeks ago. I'll keep them low to the ground. Likely in my new mulch basin that I direct roof runnoff

My shiitake logs I piled high on a single pallet. I get some from them when it rains a bunch. I may restack closer to the ground. They are several years old.

#Goals for expanding food production on our homestead. Where is a good source for plugs?

‘Mushroom mountain’, use sawdust spawn & get the tools required. Much cheaper. ‘North Spore’ & ‘Field & Forest’ are also good

Nice I wouldn’t mess with the shiitakes at this point.

As far as the oysters, let them colonize, then bury them in a ‘log raft’. Lie the logs down horizontally & bury halfway. They won’t fruit if they aren’t partially buried
