Wow Joseph they look fantastic!
I have a log that a friend plugged a couple years ago, not sure if it was ★★★★ake or oyster, but hasn't borne any fruit.
We get quite a variety of wild mushrooms, hours of hiking to get the rewards instead of time spent cultivating. We have lots of golden chanterelle, winter chanterelle, two kinds of hedgehogs and matsutake, and also a couple of good boletes which pop up from time to time but are not so plentiful. The others, we get enough for our families and sell the surplus to restaurants.
Wild mushrooms are a fickle crop though. Looks like our season is over early this time, as there was a hard frost on the 8th of October.
