The original spores were purchased by a friend of mine,she shared about
50 shrooms with me which I broke up into bits and pieces, I then smashed
them into 1/4 holes I drilled into 4-5 foot sections of white oak,then I
covered the holes with some collected COW manure.I stand the logs on end
with them in a location that receives morning sun and filtered afternoon
shade, periodically during a long hot dry summer I will spray them with
water. I get my heaviest flush of shrooms in the fall and light sporadic
flushes the rest of the year.  The reason I used white oak was I had a
bunch of it I was using for firewood.
