Inoculation of a Different Kind


This past weekend Deb and I spent time at the cottage Inoculating logs with mushroom spore to grow Blue Oysters, Shiitake and Lions Mane.


I cut this  40'  Maple tree down in February so it retained a lot of sugars.  




Logs cut to 3' lengths


Holes drilled, mycelium Plugs hammered in and then sealed with wax! 



Lots of work! Now the logs are Resting for 2 weeks off the ground in a shady spot. 
Then we will move them into their fruiting position and hopefully we will see some fruiting by Fall!
