Shiitake Mushrooms Harvest Season Has Begun!

Shiitake Mushrooms! We don't have them at our Farm Stand but be sure to contact us with your order. $14 pound, here's some photographs of one pound so you can get an idea. Shelf life is refrigerated 14 days in paper bag. We happily sell half pounds, etc.  We're excited helping the USDA with an experiment to see if Shittake mushrooms will grow on some of the invasive non native trees growing here in this area of the U.S.  For the experiment we are using Water Oak which is the standard growing medium, Mimosa, Chinese Tallow and China Berry.  This week's harvest was taken from the Water Oak and a few from the Chinese Tallaw.

Below are a few photographs to enjoy.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
