Mushrooms

We live in the mushroom capital of the world, so of course we are going to grow and forage for mushrooms. We are so lucky to have so much production here in Southeastern PA we can eat a wide range of mushrooms. Shiitake are so easy to grow I have logs all over the place.
The secrets to successful log-grown shiitake mushroom production are shade and moisture.
Your log has been inoculated with a strain of shiitake mushroom spawn, which will fruit both spring and fall in Southeastern PA.  The time from when a log is inoculated, until it produces mushrooms, is called ‘spawn run’. With proper care, this log can be expected to fruit every 8-12 weeks for several years.
Just keep your log in a shady, moist spot, such as a shrubby planting bed, and keep it moist. If there is a period of no rain, for more than a week, soak the log overnight in a container of water. It can lie on the ground, especially if covered with mulch
That’s it.
Grow your own food.
Later.
