A couple of years ago, my wife and I decided to arrange a small mushroom plantation
In the nearest forest, a dozen stumps were established, in which holes were made and a mycelium was laid.
In the autumn of the same year, several mushrooms sprouted but they were eaten by slugs and we had nothing left. Other mushrooms did not appear for a couple of years.
I have already decided that the experiment will not succeed. In addition last autumn, the forest was flooded and part of my stumps swam away. I saved a few pieces and put them in the shade behind the farmhouse.
To be honest, I did not particularly hope for a harvest, but I did occasionally glance. And the day before yesterday I discovered, that at the base of one of the stumps a mushroom appeared.
Hooray. Apparently my mycelium has survived and now one can hope that sooner or later stumps will give a good harvest of oyster-mushrooms.
I love oyster mushrooms, and they are so easy to grow. As they did in your experiment. The fact that slugs ate them is beside the point. Good for them, but too bad you lost out on it. Though once inoculated, the mycelium should weave through the entire trunk, so even if it gets flooded it should survive, and come to fruit when the time is right. Good luck for the next time! I bet you will have a mushroom feast before soon!
Thanks., David. I hope you right about feast :)

Oyster mushrooms grow much better on straw and much faster.
