I am also trying an experiment with growing mushrooms. I took the
scrapings from some boletus edulis and some lecinums (sp) and spread them
under the spruce and pines on the north slope shaded area on our property
(9100 ft) last fall. There are some mushrooms that grow up there but I
have not identified them as edible. I am hoping new mushrooms will grow
from the "plantings", I'll let you all know. Jane

I received mushroom spawn for both those types of mushrooms from a U.S.
company last year in the form of inoculated wooden plugs. From all I could
read about them, it seems they prefer fresh hardwood logs to start. Then
you get a trained woodpecker (portable drill works too) to drill holes all
around the logs and punch the wooden plugs into the logs. You then stack the
logs and keep them moist. It can take 6 months to a year for the mushrooms
to bloom.

Hi Bill and all,
Be sure to let us know if you get any mushrooms. Otherwise, I guess I could
pile those fresh inoculated hardwood logs under my bat house (as yet unused) and
make kind of an "I try everything
