2’ section of clean maple from a log drop, roughly 8” or so in diameter. inoculated last winter with totem method. Overwinter inoculation in the garage was a good move, I had a fully inoculated log in the spring letting me start a full 3 months earlier. Probably wouldn’t have gotten a harvest this year otherwise.
You can see these all came out of the spawn so I’m hoping to get some from the log itself next year. Time will tell.
Biggest ball is 4” or so across.
Very hype for these as I have never tasted them before. They’re supposed to be delicious and are suuuuper expensive at the store (30-40 usd a pound)
That's awesome. Can you give a complete noob some mushroom advice?
I inherited 3 inoculated logs last year that have not fruited yet. I do not know what they were inoculated with or when or how. How would you manage a mystery inoculated log?
Keep then in a moist area that's completely out of direct sunlight and wait - sometimes it can take a couple of years depending on the species and the size of the logs.
This is good advice, I would add to it to keep it off the ground
