I found a family tossing out some oak logs that were the perfect size, so I asked him if I could have them and he said yes. Sweet. Plugged about 50 dowels in each log and sealed the holes with beeswax to keep the moisture content up. It’ll be over a year to see how to the inoculation turned out.

I always have tons of spare spent grain laying around from brewing. Added some gypsum, some bloodmeal, and some lime to the grain after the mash tun. Once it cooled I added (hopefully enough) pink oyster mushroom spawn in some bags, and blue oyster spawn in the other bags.

Here is the inoculated logs and bags ready to spawn and flush out.
