I will be drilling maple this weekend for my first attempt at growing mushrooms from plugs. I need oak for oysters, but probably infected isn't the way to go.

No you want freshly cut logs. Also softer woods are better for oysters. Stick to oak for shiitakes . Oysters are best in maple , willow or other softer woods. Honestly oysters are a waste of time in logs , learn how to grow them on straw or cellulose waste , you 'll be much happier with the results .


ANyone want this wood ???

GOTTA GO!!!

Drill hole , plug with spawn , cap with cheesewax . Keep moisture levels up , wait
