holy shiitake batman!!!

if you are following this blog, then you know about the shiitake logs. this is an update on the progress of the logs.
darry periodically soaks the logs in a baby pool if we have not had any significant rainfall.

while doing this, he found a pin-it is dead center in the photo

the whitish stuff is the actually mycelium, it is growing through the logs and on this one, it decided to fruit on it's own.

he found two pins and brought in the logs to monitor them and control the conditions.



fully grown-his first two mushrooms! we hope for a larger yield next time. keep watching for more updates.
