Episode Synopsis

Join Jessica and Ray on this special holiday short topic as they talk about all the steps necessary to grow your own Shiitake mushrooms on natural logs.  Shiitake mushroom production on logs is a sustainable and rewarding practice that allows you to cultivate these delicious fungi in your own backyard. By inoculating hardwood logs with shiitake spawn, you create the perfect environment for the mycelium to colonize the wood and eventually produce flavorful mushrooms. This method is not only environmentally friendly but also offers a hands-on approach to growing your own food, connecting you with the natural processes of decomposition and renewal.Shiitake Mushroom Publications University of KentuckyMushroom Resource Page University of KentuckyShiitake and Oyster MushroomsQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: [email protected] us out on Instagram!
