Basically you need to allow a few weeks for the mushroom mycelium to establish itself in its new home before it goes dormant for the winter. The Logs can be left outdoors over the Winter, under a layer of straw, Some mulch, or a burlap tarp, shade cloth or other vapor-permeable cover. Do not use plastic tarps: this can cause mold to form. In areas where the Winter is exceptionally harsh, logs can be stored indoors. A shed, barn, garage or other outbuilding will do fine. Oyster mushrooms prefer to grow on spruce and fir trees. Non-aromatic hardwoods such as oak, elm, maple, Alder and similar woods are also very good candidates for log cultivation. Logs should be cut a few months before you begin plugging. Cut your logs in lengths of 3-4 feet. Use a 5/16" drill bit to drill 2-inch holes2 to 4 inches apart, evenly spaced. Insert 1 plug per hole and whack it in with a hammer. A 3-4 foot log can take about 50 plugs, while stumps usually hold 30-50 plugs. The more plugs you use, the faster your log will be colonized with mushroom mycelium. Holes can be sealed with wax to protect the mycelium from weather and insects while it's growing. Cheese wax or beeswax is best. Although the waxing can be helpful, it is not absolutely necessary.
