Stack and label the inoculated mushroom logs.

A freshly inoculated log takes six to twelve months of quiet, undisturbed incubation before it can fruit at all, and an unlabelled log stacked in the wrong spot is worthless once the season arrives and nobody remembers which log is which species or how long it has been resting; this rung stacks the logs correctly and keeps that record current through the entire wait.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

resident permission record plus labelled-stack photo plus monthly check log covering the incubation period plus species and date confirmed current on every tag

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Stack the plugged, waxed logs off bare ground on pallets or a simple rack, in a crib or log-cabin pattern that keeps air moving between logs, in deep shade under existing tree canopy or a shade structure the resident already has.
2. 2. Attach a weatherproof tag to each log recording its species, the inoculation date, and the earliest possible fruiting date roughly six to twelve months out, and photograph the labelled stack.
3. 3. Check the stack monthly: confirm the logs stay in shade and off the ground, and if the wood feels dry, mist or lightly water the stack (never soak it) to keep the bark from drying out during incubation, logging each monthly check.
4. 4. Watch for and record any log with cracked bark, unusual odor, or a competing mold; set aside any log showing visible white spawn colonization on a cut test-plug end as a good sign, and keep every log's tag current through the entire incubation wait.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Photo of the logs stacked off the ground in deep shade with weatherproof tags attached
• Confirmation that species and inoculation date are recorded and current on every tag at each monthly check
• Monthly check log covering the stack through the incubation period, noting bark condition and any log set aside for a problem

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Edible Garden Cultivation. Edible garden cultivation is food growing done to the standards the land-grant universities have refined for a century: healthy soil in tested beds, the right crop in the right season, hand tools, patience, and records. Mastery looks like a Master Gardener's plot, beds that feed a family most of the year from a piece of ground the size of a parking space. Every gardener who reaches that point started with a single bed and a single season. This packet is that start: one bed built or tended properly, one honest note about what happened.
