Shiitake Mushroom Growing - Start Date March 1st!

Today we worked alongside members of a USDA research team and their volunteers on a joint mushroom project here at Little Eden. Ron and I had a wonderful time helping drill, plug, and wax the Shiitake mushroom mycelium into Tallow tree logs. We were able to complete 20 Tallow today; with 60 more logs of 20 Mimosa, 20 China Berry and 20 Water Oak to go, we'll have them all completed by next Sunday. I've attached some photographs of the operation along with a short video showing some of the process.  We're excited about this project and will continue sharing its progress.
