Day 1,335 of the Adventure
A while back (earlier this month) we mentioned that we had taken a trip to an Heirloom Seed company during their Spring festival. This idea came from there, even though they do not have the supplies available themselves. I got the idea from a vendor there and had not considered this as really much of a thing until now. Mushroom Logs. Yes, I discovered that many varieties of mushroom can be propagated right in the kind of wood that grows in abundance around our place. Today, we ordered up the supplies necessary to start Shiitake, Oyster, Chestnut and Lions Mane mushrooms. We've eaten three of these four varieties ourselves and liked them all. Foraging for them is very intimidating to me. I can identify the Lions Mane. That one is fairly easy. The others, not so much. I'll feel a lot better about it knowing that we are actually growing specific varieties and have some control over what we are harvesting. I have found Lions Mane growing right on pieces of firewood in our woodshed. The only problem is that two or three little mushrooms is never enough. Hopefully, we'll be able to grow a regular crop of them and have them available when we want them rather than just when they decide to show up. Look for updates as this new adventure develops.
