RE: Lightning Struck Tree Removal
Very cool to see this process, @professorbromide. I live in an area that doesn't get thunderstorms (and thus no lighting), and also doesn't have a lot of these super old trees.
A fun suggestion might be to try and grow mushrooms out of the stump...have you thought of that? You could inoculate wood plugs and stuff them into the drill holes, then see if you can grow some shiitake or other types of mushrooms.
I know it's dependent on the type of wood, but thought it could be a fun experiment :)
I have tried growing shiitake mushrooms, but with very little success. We live in an area that has a fair amount of moisture and wild fungus, so it takes some skill to set up a shiitake log. We had better luck with portobello kit that came with its own medium that we grew inside.
Welcome to Steemit, BTW.
Ah, got it. I've been doing a lot of oysters, but they don't require logs as a substrate...coffee grounds will work just fine. Best of luck getting rid of that stump naturally then!
Thanks for the welcome - this community is really cool.
