Mushroom plugs/sawdust

[buellbrewer]

Not wild mushrooms.
Have plugged logs with portobella and ****ake in the past with good success.
This time around I boiled some small white oak "logs" in autoclavable bags then used Chicken of the Wood plugs in them. Stored on north side of the house and will wait/ hope for good inoculation. I am also trying a pillar/totem way of doing ****ake sawdust spore by cutting two 16" and one 3" piece of sweetgum and layering the spore in like buttering bread. The 3 inch piece acts as a cover. The wrapped in leaf bags for a few months.

Have you tried Morels yet?

I'm fairly new to foraging. Never found one of those. Its on my bucket list. I also didn't know you could buy spore for them until recently. Going on a mushroom hike with a naturalist next weekend at High Falls.

I see a couple Asian ladies up at Red Top Mountain State Park hauling out baskets of chanterelles all the time while I run my German Shepherds. They're real pros at finding them.

All I know about wild mushrooms is they make my dogs sick. At least the ones she finds in the yard.
