Typically a harvest is 10 pounds twice a year three if your luck from this set up.

logs will continue to fruit for 5 to 7 years reliably

[thomulusmax]

Question: How many pounds did you harvest from the operation shown in this video and how often do the flower? By the way your video is excellent and your mushroom beds are beautiful!!

[UniversalDirt]

Most of these mushrooms appear to be over-ripe.

Those Shitaki's are so beautiful, not to mention how friggin awsome ur grow tent/sport is. IT looks like a decorative garden, but it also puts out some of the best looking mushrooms in all of youtube.

hey i was wondering if the logs need to be kept off the ground or not. to keep them from rotting.

[curlysoo]

this pearl from the master

"On the ground is best for moisture retention.

Rotate the logs occasionally."

[curlysoo]

Hope you had time to watch the rest of the series from inoculation to harvest.

I live in Florida near Cocoa Beach, what varieties can I grow? Will Shitakes grow here?

[curlysoo]

I think you could if you kept them out of the sun and moist.

check the website listed at the end of the

vid email Ken he will know.

[curlysoo]

Typically you want burr oak logs, white oak or red oak will do. Not to large, 3-4 inch is best from a young tree cut them in the spring before bud break.

check the address at the end if you want info or supplies. I get mine from Ken. BG

[lloydkelly639]

What kind of logs did you use?How often do you harvest?

[curlysoo]

Ps you usually get a harvest in spring and fall

after the first year it will be quite good
