- Cardboard on the forest floor. Covered with Blue Oyster Spawn. A stump is placed on top.
- Sawdust/woodchip spawn is crumbled around the sapwood.
- The second piece of the stump is stacked upon the first, sandwiching the spawn
- Keep on stacking and sandwiching layers of spawn.
- In a few days the mycelium has jumped of the spawn and started to colonize the wood.
- Three weeks later with regular rain and watering, a little flush of one mushroom was a good sign that the spawn is happy.
