I bought a bag of King Oyster (Pleurotus eryngii) from a local vendor many months ago and recently learned that oyster mushrooms can be fruited on coir. Since I had a few bricks on hand I figured I'd give it a try.
Below is a photo of one of two mini-monos after 9 days incubating. I spawned colonised wheat seed to straight coir. Holes were covered with micropore tape during incubation. This is my first oyster grow so I'm really excited :D Hoping for some big and juicy clusters.

I grow those along with reishi, you can build a log with plugs also pretty easily

Plugs and logs are definitely on my list. I see them as an incredible long-term investment. I saw some photos the other day of a guy who planted colonized straw 'logs' of reishi from bags in a trench between his pepper plants (it was in a raised bed). The pepper plants provided shape for the reishi and his yield was very impressive.
How do you usually fruit your oysters, besides logs?

I only use logs, coir is to much of a pain. I use my gfs lab to do all my isolation and petri work. She has an awesome flow hood, also use chemical grade pda with a tiny bit of antibiotics.

Kings are great and will eat almost anything,

i always thought kings couldn't be grown on logs since there are soil mushrooms, they love roots of herbs, and need more nitrogen.

Better late than never ;) The Kings grew really well and were an absolute treat to eat!
I've been traveling a lot and haven't had much time for fungi but I hope to give these buys another go soon, this time in buckets.
