does it have to be a freshly cut log? I have a few logs that were cut 6-8 months ago

Yes it has to be a freshly cut log otherwise something else could've moved in

Can you do this in a live tree?

YOu need to cut a freshly living tree but the tree should not still be living as its natural immune defence will try to kill the oyster mycelium.

Would these work in a coffee grounds system instead of a log?

They are mushroom spores stuck to a wooden dowel. I can't speak to a coffee substrate specifically but I don't see why these wouldn't work in any acceptable substrate including a sawdust pack. Logs just offer a larger food source and will result in a larger and longer supply of mushrooms for several years while a less dense substrate would work but offer a lower harvest.

What type of mushroom is this? It says oyster mushroom in tittle but then says in the details 100 shittake plugs

We had a typo. This is a listing for Oyster Mushroom Spawn. Thank you for pointing it out.
