With a kit at first and slowly evolved from there.

I never tried growing on logs and stumps, it just looked like too much work for me (carrying logs, cutting wood and finding hardwood stumps). But a lot of people like it and are very successful with it.

You will find that those home grown mushrooms are so very delicate and delicious. So much better than what you can buy. Enjoy.
