Depends on what kind of wood it is. I've used supplemented Aspen from the pet store with good results. Stay away from fir, pine and cedar as they have anti-fungal properties and most mushrooms won't do so well on them. There few species that prefer pine though... such as Ganoderma tsugae.

This grow of Agrocybe aegerita was done on the supplemented aspen:

The woodchips that you can find on the petshops is used as a reptile's bed. This woodchips are from beech wood.

Like Pitcher said, get the right variety of wood and you will be fine (beech, alder, aspen will al work).

And Pitcher, I rememer that grow log... those pioppinos turned out awesome. I remember drooling over those pics cause you posted those right as I put some pioppinos on the FC and I was hoping my flush would be as nice as yours :grin:. and they almost lived up to your flush (you can see them in my journal if you want).

Good luck with the grows Foundas :thumbup:

Cheers
