Shiitake Mushroom Fruiting Kit

Delicious

Easy to work with and grew well and quickly!

Good, but log is long and the kit needs more troubleshooting info

The instructions were easy to understand, but not simple to follow. It took no small doing to find a clean container large enough to soak the log. If the same log were cut in half and sent as two smaller logs, it would easily fit into common kitchen equipment - and be easier to find space for. Don't tell mom what I did with her large baking pan (ssshhhh!). I got a very small first flush (6 caps), and, when they came, they started off coming out at the bottom of the log. I turned it over, and they seem happier now. I did accidentally (once) mist with a dilute orchid food solution. Is that the problem or something else? Do they need more light? Was my jumbo-sized zip-lock back not enough clean water for the soak? The caps I got are beautiful and tasty. I'll try more light, and no orchid food, on my second flush. I'll see if I can find a clean enough 5-gallon bucket for the soak.
