Last July I ordered some shiitake and blue oyster mushroom kits. Drilled holes in fresh cut red oak logs and kept them moist as I could. On the end of a couple blue oyster logs I see a white growth. Is this a blue oyster mushroom? Or did it some how get contaminated with a different mushroom? Should I spray it to kill it somehow? Here's the shiitake logs. Is that mycelium starting on the ends of tge logs?

I've never heard of a blue oyster mushroom. How'd you come across that?

Looking good. That log will produce 2-3 years.

Bad ass! For all the damn moisture I had this year, I never looked for summer mushrooms.

I got one more from the logs at my camp. This pile has both shiitake and blue oyster logs. The shiitakes are upright. The blue oyster are horizontal.

Reagan,
On the end of one of the blue oyster logs it has white stuff that look like a different type of mushroom growing? What should I do? I didn't put any blue oyster plugs in the end.

I'd leave it. I had a little of it on my shiitake logs and it faded away.
It might be tied to the blue oyster growth.

Thanks Reagan. I marinated some of them tonight and grilled them. They were great!,

If you get to the point that you have too many mushrooms, break out the dehydrator. I had a few pop out on my old logs when I was in Colorado. I didn't have time for fixing dinner the first couple of nights back so into the dehydrator they went. I just cut them in strips and dry until they snap like a potato chip. When you want to eat them, rehydrate in simmering water then cook. If your logs are new, you probably won't get to that point of abundance until next year.

On another note I was talking to one of the bear hunters who camps next door. He picks and eats a lot of mushrooms. When he comes across ones he doesn't know he boils them for a while so the toxins come out and then fries them up. I said good for him but I'm not taking any chances. Does boiling them remove the bad stuff?

This is the stump from the tree that provided my original shiitake logs. I put some plugs into it. It took a couple of years before it produced anything now it will throw a shroom every now and then. I usually don't see it until it is too late.
