Incredibly informative and insightful. The organization of the cheat sheet is satisfying. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing the clear information! A couple of months ago I bought two small logs, already completely done, and today harvested the first batch. Saving this video for future plans where I would like to make them myself :)

I found a random Danko Shiitake growing in my garden bed. Was exciting

exactly the right amount of information, thank you

I would love to try this just not sure how they would do in Florida!😬 Thank you for the great information!

Can you leave them up in chimney stacks after initial set up or do they need to be buried each winter? Thank you Crystal… great video

Thanks! Yes- once stacked they can stay there forever!

This is a ridiculous amount of hard work! It’s incredible how people come up with such things, 2 years? There has to be a easier way… To hard to long… hard work.

Yes! They should do just fine in zone 3. 👍🏻

Hello. Quick question if I may. Should I cut some slits in a bag to give shiitake block some air to help it brown or just keep them sealed and wait?

I've yet to grow shiitake from a bag, but every other mushroom I have grown from a bag, cutting holes in the side has been a requirement, it gives it a path for the fruit bodies to grow out. Make sure to fold the excess plastic at the top tight and tape it down to somewhat help guide the growth towards the hole. You can make a single horizontal slice or a couple of Xs on the bag. Doing it on the sides towards the top is normally most effective with other mushrooms I've grown. Hope this helps, good luck.

Great Detailed video I have one question, Does the mushroom fruit from the same inoculation point from one harvest to another?

The mushrooms come out of the holes you drilled, or in other places there is a significant break in the bark. And they come out of the same holes again and again year after year. Does that answer your question?

How would I change this for mushrooms just for a family of 4? Not an army as shown here?

We’re a family of 2 here. 😬 The spawn only comes in a certain size bag… I guess you could throw some of it out and not use it all if you wanted.

How

Do they survive the winter ?

Yes! These will last and produce for 8 years.

I don’t even eat mushrooms, but I think this is cool! I have a mushroom grower about a mile from my house. He grows them and provides them to upscale restaurants and sells them at farmers markets.
