this back on the heat now let's talk about placement of your inoculated log this log is completely inoculated the ends are not painted and it's a little rotten on the end so this one should produce mushrooms pretty quickly what I've learned okay so first thing I did the first batch of mushrooms that I inoculated here's what I did I took them and I just laid them out on the ground and what that did was allowed the moisture to Wick up from the ground and you want to put these in a shady spot on your property it allowed the moisture to Wick up from the ground and into the log okay but I didn't get any mushrooms on the bottom side of the log because it was laying down so the way that you need to do this and we're going to be building a mushroom area here on the farm up that Hillside right there where it's cool down here on the creek but for ease of operation just sit it down like so and lean it against a tree or lean it against a fence guys just sit it down where you have ground contact right here okay sit it in a place where it will not fall over you can set these all throughout leaned up against trees all throughout the forest but you need for this slowly seep into the ground and to Wick up moisture that's the entire goal
