Year three and the shitake logs are going strong. I pulled a 10" mushroom still fresh off one of our hickory logs. Commercial shitakes are grown on oak, which wind up with the strong tannic taste characteristic in Oriental recipes. The hickory produces a mild nutty taste, perfect for the venison pot pie they found themselves in.
After yesterday's haul, the next batch should be ready in a couple days.
