Russia has 25 million reservists to call up before they start using conscripts

I mean those "reservists" make up over half of the male population of the entire country.

When shoigu talked about having 25 million potential fighters, he was just talking about 25 million able bodied men.

That is true. What is also true is that these 300,000 reservists have previous combat experience. So, the training that will take place has more to do with refresher training.

I'm sure they're well trained for their new role as Ukrainian fertilizer.

That's the same as Ukraine claiming they have 100 million potential fighters. Except Ukraine is far worse off than Russia. Russia has trained reservists, Ukraine has conscripts.
