Why no fruit trees for woodlovers? 2

Hi there, finally got ahold of some cyan or sub mycelium November 2018 from a nearby island, and the fruits of labor paid off this spring.
Concerned that the green waste program at the local transfer station stopped carrying the free mixed log chips which they successfully fruited on, so now chipping invasive guava trees to feed and expand the patches. Hear subs are more adventuresome/forgiving when it comes to their diet, but not 100% on the variety acquired.
If anyone can ID from the attachment would be great. A member on another site mentioned seeing subs on this particular island/location, but they're so similar to cyans can't decider being first exposure to this species.
Read that fruit trees are not recommend for cultivation of woodlovers, but never found an explanation. Assume it's been tried without success, but would like to know if anyone knows specifically why?
Any thoughts welcome thanks 🙏

I don't see why not, long as the wood ain't fresh and got no saps/tannins like redwoods
hardwoods, softwoods, the more composted the wood the better, thats key mayne

U can grow wood lovers on fruit trees like Apple or Cherry wood chips for example.
Just never grow on Cedar. Cedar wood has anti-fungal properties and isnt suitable for cultivation.

Really? Everything I've read said fresh chips are better for these guys to limit competitors?

hey mate you might have better luck in the hunting and ID forum. Congrats on a successful transplant : +5  Guava is invasive in the Netherlands?
when asking for id these questions are helpful to answer. Habitat: Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.
Gills: Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
Stem: Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
Cap: Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
Spore print color: Very important!
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

Imagine there's no invasive guavas in the Neatherlands. Found these at high elevation on a Pacific Island. Likely introduced from elsewhere. I've read a lot on comparing the two varieties, but they're extremely similar. Thanks for the tip I'll head to hunting and foraging.
