Well, it works. That's how my shiitake log was innoculated (but not by me). Probably gets boring after doing a couple of dozen logs, though.rSin wrote:is that packing bored holes in logs method as genius as its cracked up to be???
You can use dowels or sawdust to pack the holes, depending on what your chosen species prefers.
Using rope spawn is probably easier if you have a lot to do.. most wood-loving mushrooms will grow on hemp or cotton rope, so you just colonise a coil of rope, then make a groove round your logs with a chainsaw and pack the rope into the groove.
