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.
