Comment on Mushroom growing scale down minimal volume

I had troubles with logs - I have lots of trees, but apparently most are already badly inoculated. Or I need to choose really really healthy looking ones. Or dry them first maybe.

I haven’t tried myself but my understanding from reading Stamets is that you’re supposed to cut the log and move it to a wood shed or something right away without letting it sit on the ground for an extended period. Alder is supposed to decay much quicker than other hardwoods as well so it’s not used as often.
