What the video covers

Next, you'll need fresh logs, ideally from deciduous trees, within weeks of felling. This ensures the wood is full of nutrients for your chosen spawn. Now, for the inoculation.

Carefully insert your mushroom spawn plugs into those freshly drilled holes, then seal them completely with wax. Once inoculated, stack your logs in a shaded, moist area. Patience is key here; mycelium needs time to colonize the wood, usually six months to a year.

Key points

Keep your logs hydrated, especially during dry spells. A good soak can even encourage "shocking" for a flush. Soon, you'll see tiny pins appear.

Then, the magic happens. Logs burst with your delicious harvest, ready to be picked. This sustainable method yields mushrooms for years!
