Just to clarify. Nurse logs are not garbage.

I know they say that drowning is a peaceful death, but the ocean is sooooo cold around here. A bit morbid, sorry. I am feeling a bit melancholy tonight after working on a food security report - one of my survey responses was just so tragic. Hard to imagine struggles like that in a little place like this.

Yeah, the Benthic Zone is creepy. I wasn't trying to be moribund, just having a little fun with the OP. A nice dappled glade above a rill with some wild Apple and mixed hardwood would be nice!

You're not supposed to pee off your back porch either.

They could put me away for a looong time

I cut some maple chunks this past summer that my son had asked for to bore some holes into the chunks and plant shitake plugs(?) into. I don't think he'll start until spring, not sure on that since I'm really not a mushroom fanatic. I guess they could be considered nurse chunks?

Hey Cynnergy-I also have heard that drowning is a peaceful death and have always wondered....just how would anyone know??? Can't imagine anytime a person is struggling to breathe being peacful.

Nice pics in the link, K

I always wonder about this. When the log starts producing, how do you know you're getting Shitakes? Your nurse log could foster a number of 'shrooms, some of them dangerous.
