>>965470We have a designated fruiting room with full ventilation.
Separate incubation and fruiting areas.
Also, that inoculation method can totally work. Keep rocking it. Just make sure flies don't get in. I use stem butts all the time for cardboard spawn and it runs pretty fast, with little contamination.
>>965483Getting a kit will probably work better since it comes with some supplementation in it already, lets you multiply it quite a bit since it is already colonized and you aren't risking the grain colonization at home. Fruit it once out of the kit, and then use the kit as spawn into straw, or sawdust. Gives you a huge second flush that can keep going again and again.
Logs are great, but they are only half of the whole growing world. If you use cardboard spawn/straw/alfalfa you can grow bagged shiitakes and oysters within a month. Logs tend to take half a year at best in most climates.
>>965877It is pretty easy, I would recommend it.
Investments can be anywhere from like 20$ to 100$ depending on your climate.
Cheap all in all, and given care your systems can be set up to produce a ton pretty quick. Doesn't take up much space either.
