cultivating mushrooms on ligustrum

Has anyone tried using ligustrum logs for mushroom cultivation. I am cutting down a few large ones and would like to put them to use.

Ligustrum Japonicum is the species I assume you are referring to.  It will grow certain mushrooms that are edible such as chicken of the woods and others that grow on conifers would be worth a try.

There is a mushroom wood rot disease that is known to infest these shrubs but it isn't an edible species.

I just built an oyster mushroom garden !😄
I put it under an oak and pine tree.
I started with a thigh bed if wood mulch from tree trimmers. Then sprinkled lots of alpaca poo over it. Then I bought a bunch of spent straw mushroom blocks I bought from a mushroom.grower for 50 cents each.
She told me they wouldn't grow mushrooms.
But im.the eternal optimist so just proceeded with my plan. Since I luvebin Arizona I added a sprinkler for easy and often watering.
IT WORKED!!!
They're small, but DELICIOUS.
And still coming up. I gather and add to stir fry every other day.
Just ordered some Morel spore syringes.
And bought some shitaki mushrooms with roots still on and planted them. Cross your fingers!🤣

Leila, are you saying that you used that you used ligustrum logs in the mushroom garden?

No. The local tree trimmers dropped off big piles of chipped up trees and I've  been using it for mulch, so I put about a 4 inch layer of that. I've also added several bags of coffee I found on sale.

I've also started a big mushroom project this year using mostly oak logs and plugs. It's super exciting! Good luck!

Read about that method,  too lazy to drill all those holes.
