I have inoculated a fresh willow branch with King Oyster mushroom plugs, and have it in a shady wet spot, but the branch is still producing new growth buds. If I break off the new growth, should I keep it in the damp moist position or try to dry it to stop the new growth - if I do move it to a sunny dry position will the mushroom spores survive?
What is the best advice?
Also I have some Shitake mushroom spores, should I use dried out but cut within last moth willow or some slightly rotting timber I also have?
