The process is the same as the US school system: keep them in the dark and feed them bullschit.

It depends on what type of mushroom, there are different techs depending on what you're growing.

I grow [bleep] using oak logs. You use green oak logs and drill 5/16" holes every 6" the length and circumference of the logs. You buy dowel pegs that are inoculated with the mushroom spoors and drive them flush with the surface of your logs. Stack the logs off of the ground.... I use 4 concrete blocks and stack the logs log cabin style. It's been taking mine a year or a little longer for them to start producing. I don't get any during the coldest months or during hot dry weather they can appear any time during the rest of the year. I've gotten as many as 9 flushes a year and expect at least 1 year of production for each inch of diameter of your logs.
I cut that are 6"-8" in diameter about 5' long and one bag of dowels will make 10-11 logs for me. I've filled a plastic grocery bag many times from a rack of logs as described.
To harvest you cut the cap free from the stem leaving the stem attached to the log. They are a solid meaty mushroom. If you let them grow long enough the caps can get larger than your palm. I have battered and deep fried them and made mushroom sandwiches with a few strips of bacon and a slice of tomato. Mmmm Mmmm good.

Very interesting. Got any pics of said logs in varying degrees of flush?

What are the light moisture requirements?

I helped a guy do it with some old logs, dont know what came of it. I know he ordered a bunch of the spore capsuls for it and I believe covered them with candle wax.

Roommate in college had a styrofoam cooler, cow patties, and a humidifier running to it.

Used to work on a mushroom farm growing [bleep] and oysters. We grew them in bags filled with finely ground wood. It takes them 6+ months to inoculate. We grew them in indoors at around 80 degrees and 80%+ humidity. Growing mushrooms, especially at volume is a lot of hard work and fine tuning. If you have any specific questions let me know.

I use maple logs & sawdust shiitake spawn instead of plugs. Fresh mushrooms are delicious !!

Just started $hitakes, Oysters, and Pioppini this spring. Got my spawn here https://www.ashevillefungi.com/ . Lots of good info on that site regarding inoculation, tree types, log stacking, etc.
