Shitake Suprise

We inoculated our first mushroom logs 3.5 years ago and they still surprise us every once in awhile.Makes the gray rainy days of last week seem almost worth it. Nothing tops a home grown mushroom on oak.Luckily we have a whole new batch of logs that were inoculated in June that should be rearing to go in the spring.And this one is for my husband who claims I am not funny: for real I am. Shitake mushroom mustache? killer.
At least I entertain myself through all this sleep deprivation.

Our friends in NC have a bunch of innoculated logs. The mushrooms were heavenly this past August when were visiting.

Did you do the logs yourselves? Kit and I would love to grow mushrooms, especially since I fell in love with a house that sits on a shady piece of land, which is really hard on farmboy Kit. : )

And, I would so love to get a simple sweater pattern from you. Thanks for responding.
