Hi there,
I would say that this is why you use a fresh log (a few months old) because it will be full of sugars that the mushrooms will thrive off of.
The part you harvest is only the flower, the living part is under the bark...and all the plugs eventually 'fungus' together like a network and actually become one large 'entity' meaning it becomes not many mushrooms, but one single organism!
So...with this in mind, as long as the log contains remnants of the sugars it once stored than mushrooms will continue to appear; once the log is exhausted, then the mushroom is exhausted.
