The forestry work we are doing on part of our farm generates a lot of red maple logs as a byproduct. We cut 48 logs about a month ago, when sap was flowing. Yesterday we inoculated them with shitake and Italian oyster sawdust spawn. We learned some lessons about what to do differently next time to make it quicker and easier.

    You want to seal the ends too. Prevents them drying out. Won’t matter too much because you’ll only get a couple years outta maple. Oak is the best.

    Can you share those lessons? Curious as I’m looking to do the same. Thanks!

    Are you going to keep them stacked like that? How are they going to stay wet enough?
