where to obtain ideal grow logs?
    #19277511 - 12/15/13 02:17 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

So I picked up some mycelium dowels from the Fungus Fair and i am looking to find freshly cut logs, that i intend to keep indoors to avoid other fungi invading them. BUT I'm really not sure when I should go to obtain these logs. I would love some tips and suggestions please. Ive got reishi, lions mane, and oysters. I was hoping to get oak logs for all three. Im not willing to cut down thick branches from the protected wilderness areas around my house so what would be the be the next best alternative for obtaining these freshly cut, uncontaminated logs?

Chop them yourself, go find a business that chops trees down and ask them.

Some parks have a firewood chopping season where you can freely chop wood.

OR maybe you could pasteurize old fallen logs? (idk about this one, just a suggestion)

Hmm...

Bad idea.

They will definitely contaminate with mold indoors.  Outdoors they have a chance.  Either cut your own from a non-protected area or as said, get with local tree trimmers.

I live in a forest so logs are too plentiful here.
