where do you buy mushroom spore plugs?

[ereino]

Thank you Umpa for the link - I checked out how to make Fire Cider - what a wonderful remedy.  Have you ever made this?  I also love her link to making mushrooms.  Do you have the logs in your back yard to put in the spore plugs?

Umpa, where do you buy the plus - I guess I can go on the interest and search, but do you have a particular place where you purchase?

[umpa]

I like amazon but shop around its spring and everybody has sales going on. I have the logs at my house in north carolina .I havent made the fire cider but its on my list.Another favorite herbalist of mine is Susun Weed she is my teacher.

I plan to look at local nurseries, if no success, will check for best prices online. I'll have to start small on my tight budget.

How will I know what logs to use for which mushrooms?  I loved Gladstar - she is adorable.  I'll check out Susan Weed.  I have always been interested in herbs - have many books, but this is taking it a step farther than our universe.  Awesome.

okay, PALM --- where in this beautiful world do you live.  We have about 30+ acres in the driftless area in sw Wisconsin.  We build a primitive cabin - no running water - no ceptic and no electricity.  Have a generator which gives us electricity and have a compost toilett we just installed last year and haul in water.  There is a Class A trout stream and finally this year we are going to concentrate on catching a few.    I live in se wisc.  We have a mature woodland area at the cabin site - gorgeous!  there are other trees, white and yellow birch.  Morel mushrooms grow on our land, which we are so happy about.  Mostly we hunt white tail and turkey.  The fall/winter are fun times when hunting.  Spring and summer we work hard and maintain the place.

Sounds idyllic. Sighhhh.... Peace and quiet.  Any reason you would not have hooked up a water tank to your house?

What a beautiful place it must be where you live Ereino. I live in Southern California. I'm 62 mile from the beach, 45 miles from Palm Springs and 60 miles from Los Angeles.
