Shiitake Mushrooms by Dana

Over the weekend I learned how to grow my own Shiitake mushrooms using a cut log.


1. Get cut log, ie Oak
2. Purchase plugs with Shiitake mushroom mycelium 
3. Drill holes slightly longer than plugs 
4. Hammer in plugs 


5. Cover holes with wax 
6. Wet log or soak in water overnight



7. Store in cool, shaded area, mist occasionally 
8. Now I'll have to exercise patience. 
I'll have Shiitake mushrooms in about 8 months.
