Mushrooms such as shiitake are fun to grow in the yard. This batch was grown on oak sawdust and chips on a “block” or “cake.”
Below are shiitakes ready to harvest and enjoy.
More will come soon from the damp oak chips.
Mushrooms are great backyard food crops. With some care and time, and a bit of education on the growing culture, they will delight you with healthy food that is considered both gourmet and even medicinal.
