Growing Gourmet Mushrooms on Fresh Stumps Outdoors
I decided that 2018 is going to be a fallow year. I'll harvest garlic during the summer and that's it.
A few storms rolled through and gave me lots of downed timber in a partial shade wooded area on the farm. Here's a small sample of what I'm doing with the free materials. I shot a tutorial on how to grow your own gourmet mushrooms on freshly cut stumps outside.
Inoculated stumps push out mushrooms for 4-7 years once the mycelium takes hold. Fall-Winter is the best time to have fresh lumber, because all of the sugars are stored in the wood (rather than the leaves). Mycelium/Mushrooms feed off of those sugars.
