Yes, alder can be used for mushroom plugs, particularly for species like shiitake and oyster mushrooms. Its porous nature allows for good moisture retention, which is beneficial for mycelium growth. However, it's essential to ensure that the alder wood is properly seasoned and free from contaminants to promote successful colonization. Overall, while not as common as other woods, alder can be a suitable choice for mushroom cultivation.
