    It’s going to be 2 weeks this Friday when I cut my logs. Do I need to soak them in water for 24 hrs before I inaculate them, just spray water on them or I don’t need to do anything before I start?

    this video is excellent. thank you so much.
    do you water the logs in the a frame configuration? and if so, how and at what frequency? or is it so humid where you are that you don’t have to?

    • @NaturesAlwaysRight
      @NaturesAlwaysRight  2 роки тому

      In my climate we get so much rain I don't have to do that. If I want to force fruit I'd soak in that tub I pointed to in the video for 24 hours, if I lived in a dryer climate or didn't get rain for a couple months, this is what I'd do.

  • @razpet20
    @razpet20 2 роки тому +1

    Great video. Do you have any suggestions for growing mushrooms on logs where there are lots of mice? This year we have a lot of mice and all the logs that I inoculated with grain in spring and capped with beeswax, got that grain eaten out completely.
    Maybe I just have to try another year, as mice are present in such numbers only in recent two years, but I was just wondering if you could suggest something mice-proof :)

    • @NaturesAlwaysRight
      @NaturesAlwaysRight  2 роки тому +4

      Hmm just guessing but maybe inoculate with sawdust spawn since they won't want to eat. Also get an outdoor cat :) Message field and forest on instagram and I bet they'll have a good suggestion for you.

    Question? Can poisonous mushrooms stumble onto the woodlogs that you have established is there any guarantee that Feral mushrooms won't grow and if so how do you determine which ones are edible and which are non-edible

    • @NaturesAlwaysRight
      @NaturesAlwaysRight  2 роки тому +2

      Sure that is possible and actually I did have a few logs get invaded by a fungus I didn't want I forgot to show that. BUT I know what I inoculated with and what it looks like so I can still harvest from those infected logs (and I have). I'm just keeping them in my old mushroom area for now. They got invaded because I let the cut logs sit too long before I inoculated them.

  • @emanonymous
    @emanonymous 2 роки тому +1

    why logs and not sawdust/wood chips? are there advantages to this medium?

    • @NaturesAlwaysRight
      @NaturesAlwaysRight  2 роки тому +1

      It's what they grow on in nature so in my mind they will have the best nutrition this way. Also way less effort, 0 plastic involved. Wood chips are best for mushrooms like King Stropharia and wine caps. I would like to try that next year! Commercial indoor do the sawdust/wood chips but that's a different game than I'm trying to play.

    How long should one wait after inoculating logs for doing this A frame with setting logs in direct contact with the ground? or were these on pallets? - wondering about concerns with competing mycelium strains . Missed it if it was already addressed. Thanks!!

    • @NaturesAlwaysRight
      @NaturesAlwaysRight  Рік тому +1

      Depends on your climate. Mine it took 8 months when we had a good rain year. I haven't gone through enough seasons to truly know. This year was a bad rain year so we'll see if they fruit around the same time.

I will look for your email address and follow your advice
