A fun thing I’ve been putting together is growing Oyster mushrooms on wood. There’s actually a lot that goes into getting it to work. The mycelium has to fully inhabit the log before it can produce fruit. That can take 6-12 months. That, and the log has to stay very moist so you have to soak it for awhile before you can put the plugs of mycelium into the wood. Then you seal it with a wax and water it every couple of days. Apparently, a single piece of wood can fruit multiple times.
