This is year 4 after inoculation in 2022. Shiitake usually flush from year 1 or 2 and then can flush a maximum of 8years which is incredible for a one time job and then wait. The logs I used in this video is alder but I tend to use oak, alder or hornbeam. Beech and birch can also be used. but yet to try myself. I’ll post a video of how to do it and the harvest over the years Is this something you want to try?

I inoculated these shiitake mushrooms in 2022 and had a few flushes from them after year 2 but wow! This is by far the best yet! Stunning!

2 of the most lucrative crops! From My farm days I used to sell lots of these crops and a 20ft shipping container made as much if not more than 1/4 acre farm 🤯 Just sold some to a top restaurant I used to work with, and said he hasn’t had the same quality since my farm stopped 🥹 chefs are seriously your biggest cheerleader when you’re a grower! I’m back on the horse. Going to set a goal to pay my monthly rent off via mushrooms an micros to help inspire you. This order was just 4kg of oysters at £15/kg but normally sell at £17/kg and micros was 300g pea 3shoots £9 and 50g coriander £6 £75 total for a small drop off

Hey Jack or anyone else, the mushrooms you're growing, what kind of things can you cook with them?
