I just got to check out the shiitake growing kit from Fungi Perfecti. This was an indoor growing kit and looked like it is ready to go.

Some lucky guy in my family got it for his birthday! He is a budding mushroom farmer so it was a great gift. I will keep us updated on the site as it grows. I hope to report on the eating of these mushrooms also. Shiitakes are great for us and another way to eat your medicine and like it too!
You can find more kits like this one from the people at Fungi Perfecti on the link on the main page of this site.
Mushroom growers and farmers…now is probably our last chance to complete fall projects for spring flushes! I still have some plugs to put in logs and will get them completed soon. From what the mushroom growing literature says, October is the last month to inoculate outdoor projects in this area.
I will make sure my mushroom beds have have plenty of cover and are well watered. The Garden Giant mushroom bed has not flushed yet, although I know the mycelium is distributed throughout the wood chips. It will flush next spring when waterd well, unless I get a surprise flush before then! The Oysters continue to flush off and on from the coffee grounds, mushroom bed with woodchips and they even flush out of the bottum of my compost bin.
So if you are like me, you have to get these things in order before the snow REALLY settles in.
