A couple years ago we plugged mushroom spores into a white oak tree that had fallen down in a November storm.  Well, lookie what we have now:  shiitake mushrooms, ready to cook.  

 

The whole process was quite interesting, and we plugged several logs.  They have been living in the wood pile on the north side of the house since then.  No sun, but they do get rained on.  Now this one is starting to "fruit."  So exciting!!!

 

Time to make a potpie. 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
