The wooden plugs I innoculated with shiitake are developing very slowly but I can't wait any longer to get the logs started, both because they need to be used while they're still relatively fresh and they need time to establish before the temps drop below freezing. All I had as an alternative was grain spawn, which was tedious work to pack into the holes by hand and made a big mess. It will be about a year before I know if I was successful.
