Lost Creek Mushroom Farm shiitake logs are fun to grow and the ‘shrooms are good to eat – a great gift, a gourmet treat.

Growing shiitakes is a gardener’s delight and a dream come true for the mushroom lovers on your list.
“These are actual pieces of hardwood logs inoculated, or seeded, with organic shiitake mushrooms,” according to Doug Williams, owner of Lost Creek Mushroom Farm and a shiitake grower for over 25 years. “It takes almost a year from inoculation to production, and they’re ready now to fruit for the holidays.”
The logs love light and room temperatures. They can grow indoors like plants for year-round fruiting and can grow outdoors in shade for bountiful spring and fall harvests.
“Shiitake logs are clean, easy to care for, and last for years,” Doug explained.” You soak them in non-chlorinated ice water. That ‘shocks’ them into fruiting. The mushrooms are ready to pick in about 10 days. A maintenance soak in room-temperature, non-chlorinated water every 2 weeks feeds the logs as they ‘rest’ and get ready to grow another crop in about 8 weeks.”
Lost Creek Mushroom Farm shiitake log kits come in a size and price for everyone’s holiday gift list. All prices include shipping and handling.
