Shiitake mushrooms are one of the tastiest and easiest to grow. ๐Ÿ„ ๐Ÿ„ ๐Ÿ„ ๐Ÿ„

This was the biggest flush of the season so far! They’ll do this once or twice a year, but sometimes also produce smaller quantities occasionally as well.

These maple tree logs were cut and plugged with mushroom spawn in 2021, during a work-party with friends led by @phototropic_stump

They’ll likely keep producing this high quality food for 5+ years with very little ongoing management time needed.

They’re great for adding flavor and nutrition to soups, stir fries, and can be dehydrated for long term storage.

Have you had shiitakes before? How did you prepare them? ๐Ÿด
