But what’s supposed to make a potential customer excited about that? Looking at your page, all I see is what you call labels, extensions to your email address separated by a “-” which seem identical to the “+” addressing supported by most big email services except that you automatically set up rules to bounce emails sent to the home label instead of the user needing to manually set that up.
Maybe this works some clever way under the hood but nothing on your site really tells me why I should be interested or excited about it. Every email provider advertises that they have some “unique” solution to spam and most of these work well enough for most people so you need more than just that to have a good selling proposition when you’re not priced competitively.

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.

Plastic buckets drilled holes are good reusable option. If you want to avoid plastics all together you could use some of this spawn to plug a small alder log.

Your jars probably over-colonized because there wasn’t enough surface area getting proper ventilation/evaporation to trigger primordia formation so it just kept colonizing. It looks like pins didn’t start until the mycelium grew over the top of the jar and by then all the food was already used up.
Topfruiting jars isn’t a great method even for terrestrial mushrooms, I imagine it’s worse for oysters. Consider using small oven bags instead, that way you can cut the sides to trigger fruiting earlier and across a wider surface.
