Growing and Marketing Shiitake Mushrooms on natural logs

[aa0324]

Can they be grown in colder northern climates?

@aa0324 You have to protect them from the extreme cold. So if you can bring them into a garage or shed.

purpdrank83 - if you want to grow shiitake mushrooms you need wood that is live i.e. a live tree which has been cut down. If you use already decaying wood then you won't get the results you want.

Is it just me, I can hardly hear this.

the stereo sound is funny - only one side works. if u put some earplugs in one side will be crystal clear @321gocog

@321gocog put your speakers up

[purpdrank83]

thanks for demonstrating. we have a lot of decaying wood matter half a mile back from the house and this seems like an excellent use for it.
