Diab Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hello. I live a short hike from a nature reserve in South Louisiana and was raised in the traditional Cajun culture which means eating lots of wild foraged foods. I've been a fungi fan since my first of countless trips into the woods with family to hunt and gather among other foods oyster mushrooms..I've been much more active lately in researching, hunting and as of this past fall growing mushrooms. I've inoculated several logs with oyster mushrooms with plugs from wild trees and every one produced at least a few mushrooms and I even have a few logs on the second to fourth flush. I plan on building a three room grow house over the summer and if all goes well the building will grow along with my growing skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diab Posted December 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'll post pictures as it goes. I may just buy a few small prefab sheds and save a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunShroomer3578 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Welcome Diab!! Great to see fellow Louisianaians enjoying what our beautiful state had to offer. I apologize for the late welcoming. Been chasing whitetail. Harvested a few Hericium aka Lions mane and oysters while hunting this year. I’m in the Breaux Bridge area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
