 I've also heard from listeners that inoculating logs should give 3-4 years of fruiting mushrooms, yet often they'll get as many as 6 years of good production.  So maybe that's a better way to go than boiling bags of straw...

 Months later (9/11/2017), I awoke to find that mushrooms had fruited out of one of the bags.  Perhaps it is because it's finally getting cool at night?  I cut open the other bags to try to encourage fruiting there too, as the mycelium has fully colonized the medium, but nothing much has happened.

 === Lowers Blood Sugar ===
 High blood sugar is a hallmark of type I and type II diabetes. The high fiber and beneficial protein content along with the low-fat content of mushrooms make them an ideal food for any individual wishing to combat diabetes naturally. Guanide, a compound contained in oyster mushrooms, exerts a powerful anti-hyperglycemic effect, naturally lowering blood sugar levels.
 All of these claims are supported by science, but particularly these diabetic ones I want to source specific studies here:
 * Oyster Mushrooms have been shown to [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17344789 reduced blood glucose and cholesterol in diabetic subjects].

 Oyster mushrooms have been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect within the body by down-regulating pro-inflammatory pathways involved in both chronic (autoimmune etc.) and acute (allergies, tissue injury) type hyper-inflammatory conditions.

 (A huge bonus, especially as we enter what is historically a period of epidemic and suppressed immune systems:)
@@ Line 19: / Line 20: @@
 One of the most significant beneficial effects to one’s health when consuming mushrooms comes from the ability of oyster mushrooms to both enhance one’s immune system as well as improve its regulation. So both those who wish to strengthen their immune system to fight cancer or infectious illnesses and those individuals suffering from autoimmune disorders or allergies can benefit.
-# Antimicrobial
+=== Antimicrobial ===
 Research has shown oyster mushrooms to be effective against drug resistant E. coli and Staph. infections. Studies have also shown it to be effective against Candida overgrowth and Streptococcus or Enterococcus infections.
-# Antiviral
+=== Antiviral ===
 Oyster mushrooms can exert both direct and indirect antiviral effects through immune system-enhancing activity. Ubiquitin is an antiviral protein isolate from oyster mushrooms. The mushroom also has potential to inhibit cell replication in viruses including HIV.
-# Anti-Cancer
+=== Anti-Cancer ===
 Polysaccharides within the oyster mushrooms have shown potent anti-tumor activity in both in-vitro and animal studies. One specific antioxidant – polysaccharide pleuran – has shown promise in combating colon cancer. Other anti-cancer effects of the oyster mushroom come from its ability to reduce DNA damage through multiple mechanisms.
