Anyone do it?

How?

I think all you need is some cowpies?

Got those Rooster!

Only the magic ones.

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 have had Roger's...

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.

3 or 4 grams of em in a Mcdonalds cheeseburger makes eating em tastier.
Then about 30 45 mins later the world becomes a Picasso painting.

That is what a friend in the early 80,s told me.

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

What are the light moisture requirements?

+1, that is interesting.

Haha. Pretty much.

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.

Things are growing all over Ft Polk on the free range horse patties.

Watch those wet cow piles for the little grey brown ones in cloudy weather.

Ha, raising the psychodylic Bill Clinton fave.

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 !!

mexicans used to collect my sisters stall muckings for their grow houses..

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.

We've done oysters and lions mane. Kind of a hassle. And takes up too much space in my opinion. Then we got more than we could immediately use.

Much easier to forage what is in season if what you like us common in your area.

Surely, like for so many other things, a trip to youtube would provide a bunch of info.

Hate to promote them, but they do have a plethora of info online.

The word "$hitake"got bleeped. No, I never bothered photographing them but I imagine if you google them you will find lots of photos.
I'm located in central Mo. so our humidity is usually between 50% to 95%. I have mine in a lightly shaded spot... think of a city park with scattered trees.
I have not looked at my logs for a week or so but with the rains and cooler temperatures there should be some ready to pick.
