First Shiitake Harvest

in life •  8 years ago 

Been unplugged out in the countryside for a few days trying to destress from the rigors of life. Wanted to take a moment and share (via my one bar of cell signal) my excitement over the surprise of finding my first shiitake harvest ready to go

Shiitake and beer. Cheers!

    I tried roasting some farmer's market shiitakes and they really do taste like bacon. Now I want to grow some. Is maple a good wood for them? I can get a bunch of it from a neighbor for free.

      How exactly do you roast them, any idea?

      They should do fine on maple. The key is getting it fresh so it has a high moisture content and isn't already populated with an aggressive native species

        Fresh. Gotcha.

        I just Googled "roasted shiitake mushrooms" and Martha Stewart's recipe came up. I had previously washed the mushrooms with water, so I had to leave them in longer, but otherwise it worked great.

              Some things take time! Is that on an oak log? How did you keep it wet? Enjoy those shiitakes!

                Yeah it's a water oak I believe. Normally it has a spot in the woods. Now that it's fruiting I'll move it to the ground to draw moisture from there

                  I hope you get a good long fruiting from that log. I think I have figured out that you live in an area where year-round moisture isn't really a challenge!
