Advice for growing oysters on logs
    #26802246 - 07/03/20 08:37 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

I’ve got some hardwood dowels currently being colonized with oyster myc. I plan use the method that involves drilling holes in some hardwood logs, hammering the dowels in, covering with wax, and hopefully collecting non stop oysters starting a year. My main questions involve the logs.

Do the logs need to be fresh or aged? I’ve read that cutting them in the winter is best since that’s when the trees are dormant, but obviously it’s too late for that. Is my best move to get some freshly cut hardwood logs? Or is it the opposite and they need to be aged? Or does it matter?

And if anyone has done this method and wants to share advice on how they got their best results (maybe advice on what types of wood, what sizes of logs, and how many dowels per log worked best for them) then feel free to share!

Thankyou

The cat asked, “Where do you want to go?”

“I don’t know,” Alice answered.

“Then,” said the cat, “it really doesn’t matter, does it?”
