Probably easier just to buy plugs, they are pretty cheap. As for foraging just learn the major edible mushrooms like morels, oysters, lions mane, dryads saddle and chicken of the woods. All the rest require lots of research.
Am I understanding things correctly, are mushroom plugs like the 'germs' and by drilling into a log and hammering the plugs in...basicly we are shoving the 'germy' plugs into the healthy logs. Is that right?
Just drill a hole in a dead log then put the plug in. Wait until the weather is rainy and the right temperature and see if any shrooms have sprouted.
Do you suppose that if a bunch of dead logs were place near a log that had been inoculated, do you think that all of the logs would produce mushrooms?
Yup if you let the mushrooms spore out over them ie put the plugged ones in a crosshatch pattern over clean logs beneath them. Might take a couple seasons though. Faster just to plug them all.
