Drill Inoculation Holes

mushroom logs so for demonstration purposes we're down here in the woods we can set these mushroom plugs down for just a second as we start to drill out our holes this is a 5/16 inch bit and all these instructions come with the mushroom plugs but I think it's interesting and fun to learn from somebody else that's doing it I will talk to you so stick around to the end we're we're going to talk a little bit about placement of your logs where you want to place them to get your mushrooms to bloom this is going to take months okay guys that's why I say do it year after year after year so what we're going to do basically is take our mushroom logs and we're going to go about every 6 Ines four to 6 in and we're going to drill hole and that's it we're just going to go right on down the line here drill down to our uh perspective spot where our tape stops us from Drilling so what we're doing is inoculating the log okay important to know that you can't put too many you can't put too few but putting too few will probably reduce your chances of getting some good mushrooms out of this log so that's one log fully cut up there's a hole about every 6 in or so all the way around typically what I like to do is do a line up here roll it line line line but I kind of like to displace them a little uneven so we're going to set this one to the side we're going to grab one of our White Oaks and do the same exact thing White Oak takes longer to Decay than that Maple will take and the sap has risen again in these White Oaks so these are live trees you do not want to inoculate trees that we laying on the ground dead it's unfortunate that we had to cut these but I needed to clear them out anyway they're in the way so we're going to go again you can tell that that Woods a little harder virtually everywhere you drill a hole that will be where a mushroom comes out again stick around to the end we're going to talk about placement of the logs cuz that's super [Music]
