I thought I would try to grow Turkey Tails on scrap green
wood from building projects, so I inoculated a pile of Douglas Fir with plugs from
Fungi Perfecti. This was last spring and I still haven't seen any activity in the scrap pile, but my
chickens have been scratching at the hugelbeets in the
apple orchard. The
apple branches buried there have produced a couple pounds of
medicinal mushrooms. The mycelium must have traveled
underground, digesting buried wood the whole way, about 150 feet from the scrap pile to the
chicken run portion of the orchard where they have manifested.
I just wanted to share since this made my day.
