You're so Shiitake Inoculated your eyes are brown !  😁 

If you ever look in the mirror and notice they are any other color....then you'll know that you're a quart low.

@snagged in outlet 3 I have grown shiitake and oyster mushrooms from those inoculated "logs" years ago. I don't recall the brand. The shiitake was a log made with sawdust with the hyphae growing inside and on the outside of the log. The oyster log was a log made of straw like material. Both grow a bunch of mushrooms. The oysters were quite tender and delicious. The shiitakes were good but like those in the store had tough stems. We tried to inoculate several oak logs back in Columbia with maitakes but they never grew. There were two growers that sold their wares at the Columbia farmer's market. We have a grower/seller here. The sell oysters, lion's mane, maitakes and shiitakes. 

Rick can't wait to see if you're successful.

Thanks.  I've got the two logs we made Sunday in what should be a good spot.  East side of cellar entrance, south of a concrete planter that's a repurposed freeze proof concrete cattle watering tank so well protected from the wind which was stressed in class and also shaded from late morning on.  The cellar sump pump discharges just upgrade of the logs.  It's always a wet spot except in really dry summertime.  They should stay well watered there and if supplemental water is needed, the garden hose is always available.

I'm going to give a couple of different oyster types a whirl.  Know nothing about lion's mane - but inoculation products - both sawdust and dowels are available for them too.  Dowels seem so much easier, can't see any reason not to use them.
