| I'm going to try doing some Shitake and Oyster mushrooms on logs this spring... would anybody be interested in splitting an order? About $20 would get you enough sawdust spawn to inoculate 25-30 logs 4"-6" in diameter a and 3' in length. If more then one person wants to split an order we could get 3 types of spawn. |

| whoops, it would be more like $30 after shipping. Still cheap compared to buying by yourself. |

| The basics are very simple, however (like most things involving living things) it would take a lifetime to master. I plan to use the "natural" outdoor technique: 1. acquire spawn (buy it or grow it yourself) 2. drill holes in logs 4"-6" in diameter and 3'-4' long. 3. Add spawn to holes and seal with wax 4. Put the logs in your garden/yard to incubate, they would be in a shaded moist spot. 5. when fully colonized and correct conditions prevail the mushrooms will fruit. Thats just an overview, but if you are interested in a bit more in depth view you can check out this site: http://www.angelfire.com/co/mycosociety/cult5.html |
