Can log with 2 mushroom variety be placed nearby? I am considering to get shiitake and oyster mushroom spores.

I put two sets of logs in a 6 foot space: 3 logs of Shitake on one side, and Turkey Tail on the other side. As long as they do not touch and run into each other, I think you are ok. Mine are still incubating and I have not noticed them "springing forth" from the plugs. I will check with the company next week and ask a few more questions. Keep in touch. I will probably have their number for you after next week.

I use the vegetable stock 1 tbs (level) for 1 cube. Yes, the mushroom will keep a place among my secret weapons. I use it it several recipes. I use a tsp/2tbs water when I make a four egg omelet (with egg beaters) do not overheat your pan. Have fun. Experiment people will wonder at your secrets.

I believe they are just "chunks" of MF inside, so I would guess you could but I don't know for sure. I need the depth so I have no need to do that.

I have split California Pepper tree logs up to 20" in diameter. They are gnarly with twisted grain. The way you do it is simple-if it won't split in the direction you have the log going, try turning the log around. This usually works for me. You will need to remember that you may just need to take several smaller bites on the larger logs

I planted it last year and have not seen any mushrooms yet. The kit says it may take as many as 3 years to produce mushrooms. So i dont think you would have any this year, but you never know

You are not supposed to mix them. They are complete individually. If you are transitioning between grow and bloom, you could use 1/2 the amount of each to get a mix of the two

No, this the only fertilzer you need, but you can use other minerals if you like. I would add mushroom compost mix with ground carbon carcoal if you like.

Thank you for contacting us. Our Mushrooms are the White Button Mushrooms. These would be the same you would find in your local grocery store.

I am told that you can get 2 cuttings from one planting, but it has never worked for me. It grows in sparsely, nothing like the first cut. I usually just have multiple trays going at one time, usually 3-4 days apart.

The kit comes with everything you need to grow Oyster mushrooms. You get the media and inoculated sawdust pellets. Follow the instructions and in about two weeks you will have a mature mycelium, ready to grow the mushrooms. Expect to get 2 or 3 flushes, each one slightly smaller that the last. After exhausting the nutrients , I buried the mycelium in my compost and got 3 more flushes, small but so delicious.

I would think there is only a short time before moving to the fridge. My mushrooms died before they were ready to harvest.

Perhaps the product description has changed since I bought these mushrooms, but my bag says "shitake" and, indeed, the mushrooms are shitake. The distributor is Hoosier Hill Farm.com. Try asking them.

Any dung loving mushroom would work in these bags. If you're trying to grow Crimni/Portabella check this link out: http://www.gardenguides.com/105891-grow-crimini-mushrooms.html

They are just a tiny bit different. If you are only using a few, you might convince them to cooperate with each other. I ended up with 3 boxes of the Boedika and about 12 of the Naturesort for my patio. Tried to intersperse the Boedika (the color is also just a little bit different). Ultimately put the Boedika around the periphery. Looks fine and I camoflauged where they don't totally match up.

No idea. I planted mine in a bed last spring, followed instructions and a year later not seen one mushroom.
