There are different ways but the ppl that tend to grow a lot will order prefilled bags of sterile substrate. They’ll inoculate the bags (there are different methods for this) and then wait for the myc to permeate the bag. Once that happens, you would cut holes into the bag at various points bc increased oxygen causes fruiting to happen. Then mushrooms grow out of the holes! This all varies some by species etc but that’s the basic idea. You can do something similar at home with a bucket, used coffee grounds, and oyster mushroom spawn (google oyster bucket tek). Just beware- oysters sporulate quite heavily so they need to be harvested before this happens, or outside or vented well
No worries. It’s a cool way to make a pseudo perpetual grow if you can create the right conditions, but it’s a lot easier to use bagged sawdust substrate from what I understand- never done that but it makes sense. Most commercial wood loving shrooms aren’t grown on logs anymore…probably bc it’s super heavy, prone to infestation, and getting logs into various controlled environmental conditions is nearly impossible.
I’m aware having grown shiitake snd lions mane on logs. Inoculated logs are placed either vertically or in a log cabin arrangement for mushroom growing; they’re not mounded up. Most shitake aren’t grown via logs anyway.
