Oyster shelf mushrooms are great.  I'm going to grow them too.

I've lived my whole life without hearing that, but suddenly THIS YEAR I've heard about 7 people say that they are gonna farm mushrooms. 

Did I miss a popular podcast or something?

Did they say anything about the logs you buy already seeded??

[Terrierman]

Didn't hear anything about actual seeded logs but did hear and see lots of other indoor grow methods and kits.  The guy presenting the class had a big colony of oyster mushrooms he grew indoors on a roll of toilet paper!  Had other examples for the class too.  It was fascinating to me.  I love mushrooms and I'm the least successful person ever when it comes to finding them in the wild.

I’m gonna buy one of the logs on amazon.

No, I looked at this thread and then google started giving me reconditions for growing your own mushrooms and links to buy them 😁

We got home with two logs that are both shitake inoculated.  This time next year I'll have ten logs and a variety of mushroom types.

@snagged in outlet 3 I have grown shiitake and oyster mushrooms from those inoculated "logs" years ago. I don't recall the brand. The shiitake was a log made with sawdust with the hyphae growing inside and on the outside of the log. The oyster log was a log made of straw like material. Both grow a bunch of mushrooms. The oysters were quite tender and delicious. The shiitakes were good but like those in the store had tough stems. We tried to inoculate several oak logs back in Columbia with maitakes but they never grew. There were two growers that sold their wares at the Columbia farmer's market. We have a grower/seller here. The sell oysters, lion's mane, maitakes and shiitakes. 

Rick can't wait to see if you're successful.
