   I received a pre-inoculated mushroom log for Christmas and want to get it started. I lost the instructions that came with the log however, your online info was helpful. Something I’m not clear on though is once the log has soaked for six hours and is ready to be placed in a growing spot do I just lay the log on the ground or maybe lay it across a couple pieces of wood to keep it off the ground so I can see when the sprouts on the bottom are ready to harvest? I want to take full advantage of all spore bores and wondered if I disturbed the log once in place would it fail to sprout those on the bottom laying on the ground.

   Thanks for your question. The most important thing is to keep them in fully shaded areas for best results. You can then either lay it directly on the ground, or elevate it a bit too to have 360 degree access. Both should work. Best of luck. Patience is required with Mushroom logs, but they’re a lot of fun and productive too!
