More Mushrooms!

It's been one year since we first started the process of growing Shitake mushrooms using our own naturally fallen ironwood. Once the logs are inoculated, it can take up to 18 months before the first fruiting, and consequently confirmation that the process was done correctly! We are happy to report that our first inoculation was a success!

Beautiful, ready-to-pick Shitake mushrooms.

When to pick Shitake mushrooms? - When the veil under the cap pulls away from the stem about 70% of the way and the edges of the cap are still curled downward, they are prime for picking!

Washed and de-stemmed, these mushrooms are going to provide a tasty and nutritious addition to dinner tonight!
