Experiments with mushroom cultivation. In a distant future, poplars which complete their pioneering function can be cut back to stumps for mushroom production.
Inoculating Robinia pseudoacacia stumps and root with Lentinula edodes after cutting in the fall to check for regrowth.
1) Uncovered poplar stump regrowth. 2) Inoculated Pleurotus grew on trunks covered with bag. 3). Ants also took a piece. 2&3) no poplar regrowth.
Poplar logs and stumps were inoculated with Pleurotus ostreatus. The stumps covered with bags, perforated for a little ventilation.
