The fungi are actually part of the process of breaking down and decomposing dead wood.

Why do you need to cut logs to plant the mushroom plugs in? I live in the woods, plenty of oak, and am wondering why I could not simply drill a few holes if several selected trees to harvest my mushrooms Hi, could you tell me if it is possible to “plug” a tree that is still alive and growing?

Do mushrooms even use sunlight?

In some cases there are mushroom strains that prefer or only grow on certain types of woods but you can obtain spawn for producing mushrooms on everything from hardwoods to pines.
