Just found a bunch of hackberry logs... And I just bought some TT spawn dowels... Think they'll play nice?

I don't know. But hackberry firewood degrades fairly quick. It looses its bark fairly easily too. A lot of fungus seem to attack it.

Okay... Old thread but new results. By the looks of it, it took 6+ months to start fruiting (one log got going two months back)... The results are pretty impressive. I wish my shiitakes were moving as fast as these... I sadly think they didn't make it... Yet I'm pumped to see that one of my two log experiments took off. Ive never used turkey tails but I'm picking, drying and saving them for a later date... Beautiful shelf fungi regardless 
Check it 
Here is the one that started fruiting first...

Here's the one that just started...

The yield of the first log (before cuts that is)... Well most of it 

A peek into the underneath of my growbox, where they live...

And I'll close this out w a better peek at the dungeon of fungi! 

Peace and love

They look really good. Appears they liked the added moisture at the bottom of the log.

They seem to. The entire bottoms (@ least the ones further along) are thick w mycelium and what looks like knotted up mutant shelves... But anyway its basically attached to the ground. I have to use some force and "rip" it off in this mystery matrix is leaves and organic matter from the ground that it is eating up... Seems like z good system to wick up rain water or the run off from my wooden raised bed... 
I'm happy they're going so hard. Honestly a few month ago, I basically gave up on them and just threw them under my raised bed until I "figured out what to do with them." Considered throwing them out @ on time... The power of patience and faith ehh?
