A couple of years ago, my wife and I decided to arrange a small mushroom plantation

In the nearest forest, a dozen stumps were established, in which holes were made and a mycelium was laid.

In the autumn of the same year, several mushrooms sprouted but they were eaten by slugs and we had nothing left. Other mushrooms did not appear for a couple of years.

I have already decided that the experiment will not succeed. In addition last autumn, the forest was flooded and part of my stumps swam away. I saved a few pieces and put them in the shade behind the farmhouse.

To be honest, I did not particularly hope for a harvest, but I did occasionally glance. And the day before yesterday I discovered, that at the base of one of the stumps a mushroom appeared.

Hooray. Apparently my mycelium has survived and now one can hope that sooner or later stumps will give a good harvest of oyster-mushrooms.
