I've had two buckets of maitake spawn colonizing for the past month. The plan was to buy them in the soil at the base of an oak tree, but I ran into a few logistical problems. First, the roots were too close to the surface for me to dig a hole, and second, the blocks would not come out of the buckets. I ended up pounding and shaking them until they finally came out in large chunks, which I made into a pile and then buried under woodchips, which was kind of Plan B anyway. Fingers crossed. 🤞
