Hi glennster, "Sheepshead" doesn't appear in my mushroom guides so I don't know what you've got. But in general you're talking about a plant that grows in whatever medium and, when the weather's right, fruits. Which is what you're looking for. I grow shiitake on oak logs. The mycelium, the plant part of a mushroom, grows in the sapwood. It'll continue growing there, and fruit occasionally, until the sapwood is consumed. When I'm ready to start a new batch I buy spawn from a commercial place to ensure purity, but using some of the old mycelium is what they are doing to produce the spawn. Spawn I buy looks like moldy sawdust. The moldy part's the plant. If your sheepshead are growing in the sapwood, take some, drill a hole in the new tree, and stick it in. Helps to have something to keep the spawn from falling out. I drill holes about every 8" all the way around for the length. As with any other mushroom, make sure you know what you have before eating. Some mushrooms, like shiitake, are very easy to plant successfully. Others, not so. Good luck.
