A friend has just given me a couple of healthy looking birch logs from his wood-burner supply because I admitted that I have never actually grown mushrooms even though we love them in all shapes and sizes (and spend a fortune on them). I suppose I could spend a few hours trolling round the web to find out how (and when) to get them going but nothing beats advice from people who have actually got the t-shirt.
So has anybody GYO'd mushrooms? What varieties should I be looking for apart from a few death-caps for the grand-kids to play with? How do I get the spawn into the logs? What temperature and humidity do they need? Etc. etc.. As you will gather I am totally new to fungiculture so anything anybody can tell me will be gratefully received.
