Remember that pup ? At 13 months she likes to perform vertical jumps for biscuits. Look at her go, LOL! it's like she has a built-in pogo stick. She has become the most game Ridgeback we have ever had Robin. I have to take her on brisk 1 to 2 mile runs daily with the trail bike to calm her energy level down.

That's just the 1st round. I'll do around 270-300 logs by Christmas. Do you dry them? If I get a good harvest I do. Takes roughly 4-5lbs fresh to make 1lb dry. That's why dried is so expensive.

This old system can be flooded to a foot deep via creek water in an hour and drained in 6 minutes. Aren't the logs supposed to be wet well ? Thought about doing mushroom logs in it. About 3000 sq ft.

Could use it for soaking. I didn't water my logs enough while I was at Great Wolf due to the excessive work load so I have a lot of bark slipping. This is the first time in 3 years that I've actually unstacked all my shiitake logs since I innocuolated them. This recent batch will get noc'd up in 2 weeks, waiting on the immune system to break down so the mushroom mycelium can infect the logs.

This is how my stacks look when ready for fruiting. I use either crib or teepee stack for shiitake, teepee for oysters and rafts for nameko, piopinno and chestnut. I've had chestnut fruit out of the blue still in the rest stack. BryBry, what kind of logs are you using ?
It would seem important. Looks like you have a good thing going, need some tips.

Arrived at Edisto Beach SC Tuesday afternoon and was able to do a little fishing before dark. Caught four sea trout (lost two) and also caught a 16" flounder using jigs - jamesp Got up early to enjoy the beautiful sunrise this morning. Rick, my husband Tom said, Thanks for showing the jig Tom uses Berkley gulps.
I know it sounds like a fish story, but he swears he had a sea trout as long as his arm, right up to the kayak when it broke off.

Shiitakes - red oak, water oak (red oak family), sweet gum, wild cherry. Some strains prefer red oak over white oak and vice versa. Been getting good fruiting from the wild cherry Nameko - wild cherry, red oak, water oak and sweet gum. Oysters - sweet gum & tulip poplar. Can also use cottonwood, river birch and willows. Oysters can grow on quite a bit of substrates, including fresh brewed coffee grounds. Just have to watch out for high nitrogen content. High nitrogen can kill the mycelium. Olive oysterling - sweet gum, red oak and water oak. Will try a couple pieces of tulip poplar. Chestnut & piopinno - red oak, white oak, sweet gum, water oak. Wine caps - wood chips with slightly fermented wheat straw. Chips from water vine, oaks, sweet gum and tulip poplar. Will be trying out Milky mushrooms and Paddy Straw mushrooms this summer. Both on wheat straw. Waiting on some cultures to come in for Maitake & Chicken of the Woods. Both will go on red & water oak.

The guys around here are asking what I am using to catch the trout. Here's a photo for Tom. These are salt infused 4" bass grubs that I cut short. I'm fishing in the eddies below a sand bar where the inlet begins to narrow out - very fast moving water. Chartreuse color works here sometimes but in the dingy water the pearl color works for me. Just caught three more trout before dark. Tides are changing now and will be dropping early in the mornings. I like to fish as the tide drops about three hours before low tide. That broiled flounder with salt, pepper and fresh lemon was good.

Sounds like some of the reoccurring wood are ones we have here - red oak & water oak,
but I have told myself that without a long cold spell that growing mushrooms is impractical - but maybe I'm wrong.
Wildly we find oysters on rotten wood here & there, my captive turtles love them, and rarely share.

Don't need a cold spell per SE, just need the temps right to induce fruiting. Shiitakes can be cold shocked by soaking in ice water
Most block style commercial strains of shiitake are cold induced. Once I get a good strain of warm weather shiitake, I want to work with it to grow better on sawdust blocks instead of just logs. Most commercial growers tend to stay away from some warm weather types because they have a shorter shelf life once picked.
Before it all got put away, I was working on a pink/summer white oyster mushroom cross that was looking promising. May have to get some spawn and revisit that project.

you give me something to think about
(OTOH, like I REALLY need another hobby, right ! ? ) Very cool though - I'm going to have to read up on it - growing shiitakes would be fun.

They're one of my favorites. They grow on oak.

They're one of my favorites. They grow on oak. That's the Maitake, Asian name for Hen of the Woods. I have the culture on order but it's going to be awhile. Gotta get steamer/pasturizing barrel built. it's a very slow growing mushroom that can take up to 3 years for a log to fruit. When I do, you got dibs,😁.
